Specialists in audio transcription

A word on special areas in audio transcription and expert transcribers in those areas

The field of audio transcription (the one with converting spoken word into text, not the other one) is a pretty vast field, encompassing several different specialties in itself, like:

• Business Transcription
• Podcast Transcription
• Academic Transcription
• Legal Transcription
• Sermon Transcription
• Medical Transcription
• Media Transcription
• Subtitling

Etc. etc., and these are only the more established ones.  There are more branches sprouting even as we speak.  With such a diverse assortment of specialties, it’s very vital for a professional transcription company to have transcribers specialized in these fields.  For example, not everyone can handle medical transcription, and so we have to hire transcribers specialized in this field, who have university degrees in pharmaceuticals, otherwise it can be pretty tricky or downright impossible for a regular transcriber to do anything on a medical file.

For business transcription, one needs to possess thorough knowledge of commerce, financial terms in particular, and should be aware of many industrial financial terms, jargons etc.  Academic transcription doesn’t really need that much special knowledge, but it helps to have some solid general knowledge to tackle the variety of subjects one may encounter in these files.  Sermon transcription requires a thorough knowledge of Christianity and the Bible, and it can be overwhelming for someone belonging to another religion to tackle such files, and many times they can be clueless about what is being said.  And of course, legal transcription requires the transcriber to have good enough knowledge of legal terms, jargons etc. as well.

So, all-in-all, in today’s environment, a transcriber not only has to have jaw dropping, lightning typing speed, to be able to finish assignments in time, but also to have pretty solid knowledge of almost all professional fields.  And that’s where the ‘skill’ part of the transcriber comes in.  A skilled transcriber can dish out 99% accuracy on a transcript in quarter of a time than someone new to this job.
