The importance of accurate transcription

Why is accuracy so important for audio transcription?

Not only us, but prominent business owners have time and again talked about how important audio transcription is for backup and archiving  purposes, and of course as it goes without saying, if those backups or archives are not accurate, then what’s the point?  The conversion of voice to text is needed on a regular basis by people in the fields of media, law, IT, healthcare, construction, entertainment etc., by doctors, radio show hosts, PhD students doing their dissertations and these days mostly by internet entrepreneurs regularly blogging, podcasting or vlogging (video logging) as it’s called these days.

Now, assuming you fall under any of the aforementioned categories, what if one day out-of-the-blue you needed to find something very important in your archives, something that you may have talked about in your interview or your self-recording.  Of course, nobody really has the time to sit and listen through an audio file to find exactly what you’re looking for, so you would look for the transcript and try to narrow down your search by looking for the exact word which is on your mind, could be the name of a place, a person, maybe a book, an animal etc. etc.

Now, if  the transcript wasn’t accurate, and the transcription service wasn’t able to get all the words spoken on the audio file, your search will be in vain, and you’d end up looking for that section on the audio file anyway.  Imagine if the transcript was accurate, what a time saver would that be?  We at ScriptoSphere completely understand the importance of accuracy in audio transcription, and that’s why we always aim for 100% accuracy.  Each transcript goes through three stages, transcription, proofreading and finalizing.  We don’t give up until we’ve erased even the last remaining inaudible in the transcript.  While we may not be able to achieve 100% every time mainly because of bad audio, we still strive to catch each and every word, and that’s why our clients prefer us.
