How the process of audio transcription has evolved during the years
20 years ago if you told somebody that you could have a 99% accurate transcript of a recorded audio, tape or cassette in less than 48 hours, they would probably point fingers at you and roll on the floor laughing, or in the very least not believe you at all and say you were crazy. What are the odds of that happening now? The advent of internet and other technologies over the years have meant a true and complete globalization of many processes. Now, if someone wants to get any work done, they don’t just have one or two, but millions of options to choose from.
For example, years ago if you needed a pool cleaning service or a dentist’s clinic, you would pick up the yellow pages and search for them or just go by the word of mouth, or locate one which is in the middle of the market. Nowadays things have become so much easier. You can find at least 50+ pool cleaning services or dentist clinics in the same area. You can even order birthday cakes over the internet, and they will be done and delivered fresh and on the exact time that the client requests. You can send flowers to your loved ones with just a single click of the mouse.
In much the same way, audio transcription has come a long way from people playing the tape cassette on a player, and writing the spoken words on a piece of paper, constantly pausing and rewinding, taking a mammoth amount of time and still producing sub-par quality, nowhere near what professional audio transcription companies are capable of these days. Then there was the advent of typewriters, which made the process somewhat faster as people learned to type, but this again meant inaccurate transcripts.
Today, turning audio to text isn’t such a tedious process. Professional transcription services and their user friendly websites have made the whole process streamlined and very affordable for the clients. Today you can find a transcription service online, upload your audio file on their website, and receive the transcript back in your email inbox within 24 to 48 hours. And all this can be done even by only using your phone, you don’t even need a computer. We truly are living in the cutting edge era of technology, and audio transcription as a process has come a long way indeed.
