Thinking about doing it on your own? Think again…
I know what you might be thinking right now, reading this post, that maybe this post is intended to frighten people about audio transcription, to put them off from converting voice to text on their own, that it’s just a simple job that can be done by just taking an hour out of your daily schedule. Well, the best way to challenge your assumptions is to actually go ahead and do it. Yes, if you have an interview, play it and start typing. Now, you might be very good at typing, and may even have the typing speed somewhere around 70 WPM, but this is a whole different ballgame. But don’t worry, you’re not alone in this, about at least 70% of the clients that contact us have tried transcribing themselves at one point or another.
It only takes maybe 20 or 30 minutes to realize how difficult it is, when you actually see how much you’ve done and that you have a big headache as a result of it. An established transcription company such as ScriptoSphere has all the equipments and team of transcribers/proofreaders necessary to perform your task in a jiffy, probably in a tenth of the time it will take you to transcribe your interview. One of my friends recently tried his hand at transcription, and ended up transcribing a 60 minute audio file over 4 days, something that will take ScriptoSphere 8 hours to finish. Don’t assume that it’s an easy job, and if you need to get it done quick, contact a transcription service provider.
