3 Transcription Problems Solved by Online Transcription Companies

Hello Readers,

Today we are going to highlight 5 problems an online transcription company like ours (Etranscriber.net Transcription) solves for those in need of transcriber services.

These problems and solutions are:

1. Problem of Round The Clock Availability:

Online transcriber services are now open for business 24x7. However, there was a time when transcription companies had virtually little to no presence on the internet. Most of the transcription companies were brick and mortar type businesses. At this time not all companies would be available for services 24 hours a day.  Critical transcription services are needed in places like hospitals who need back radiology/pathology/clinical etc reports take on a voice recorder within a given time frame usually 12 hours or much earlier. Transcription companies like ours operating round the clock eliminate the problem of waiting for extended periods of time before hospitals can receive the transcribed reports.

They operate round the clock mostly from Mondays to Saturdays. However, we operate on Sundays also for the benefits of our customers. Some of our customers need the transcripts of audio interviews back on Monday. Sometimes we receive an order request a day before i.e. on Sundays. So to maintain deadlines we operate on Sundays as well.  Most online typing companies remain closed on Sundays. So it really makes us happy when we are able to under emergency online transcription related work. 

2. Problem of Inaccurate Transcripts:

Our major focus in running our online transcription service is to deliver as accurate transcripts as possible. Typing out an audio seems easy at first. However as one begins to transcribe an audio file one may come to realize that that it takes a lot of time to transcribe even at average typing speeds. For example, a few back we were talking to Linda K, who is a Michigan University student. Linda and our team were connected with each other on Skype and were discussing the details on her transcription requirements. She told us how she began transcribing a 55 minute audio file thinking she would complete the task in 2 hours max. However, she realized the daunting task of typing the audio when she was able to transcribe 4 minutes of audio in 30 minutes. This meant it would take her 7 hours at least to transcribe the whole audio. 

We told not to worry about transcribing the audio be herself and to send us the files. We transcribed the whole file for her and she was so relieved to see the full transcript typed our word for word. We always suggest to people that if you have a file that you are thinking to transcribing on your own, it is best that you hire an online transcription company like ours. It will save a lot of time and also lots of efforts. 

Note: These days,  audio transcription services for students and lecturers are being offered at nominal rates. 

3. Outsourcing Benefits:

Businesses such as video production companies, news agencies, legal firms, marketing companies, Podcast service providers etc. need typing services for their in-house processes. They can chose to hire a full time transcriber for this. However, it must be noted that a full time employee comes with additional costs. Also, the fixed component increases on an annual basis. Online typing companies like ours can eliminate the need to hire a full time transcriber. Thus businesses don’t come under the pressure of allocating additional costs to their non-core services. Hence we highly recommend to hire an outsourcing transcription service company for internal typing requirements.

Here is a small but useful list:

A. Document typing service outsourcing:
