Information On Types Of Professional Transcription Boston

By Jennifer Hall


In general, transcription is all about converting a spoken or filmed piece of information into a written one. The main reason is usually for comfortable and future referencing and also for a better understanding. Though these services are very helpful, one can enjoy them more if they have ample information on the types of professional transcription Boston that are offered in the industry.

Owing the increased varieties of these services in the market today, it is important that the client is aware of all of them and at the same time can select one which best fits their needs before jumping to a transcriber. Classification of the services is usually based on the kind of information that is to be transcribed and the form of service that one expects.

Depending on the kind of service a client wants, we have verbatim, edited and intelligent transcribing. Verbatim transcription is one which involves the transcriber to work on every bit of information in the file given. This means that even the noises, chuckles, and emotions must be taken into. There must be no omitting of any information.

This kind calls for the transcriber to be very keen with all what happens around. It is important to note that it even takes in what may also appear to be grammatically incorrect or what was not heard correctly. The main areas of its application are legal proceedings, movies, commercials and many other sectors.

Edited transcription is the other type. It is different with verbatim in that it involves the dropping of unnecessary information found in the file and ensuring that the primary information is not distorted or omitted. It has the disadvantage of taking much time like verbatim since the one working on it has to listen carefully so that they discern what is to be omitted.

The best editing transcriber will always have to know the purpose of the information they are dealing with. This then gives them the free will to go ahead and decide what is important and what may not be. Seminars, classroom, and meetings are areas where this kind of transcribing is very beneficial.

The third in this category is intelligence transcribing. This type is the most demanding and takes the expertise of very competent transcribers. It calls for a transcribing that is very direct with less diversion. The transcriber has to ensure that all that they take into account are important. This makes it the most expensive.

Broadening the classification on the kind of information that is being dealt with we end up having transcriptions depending on professions like law, medicine, business, insurance and many others. One should work on a piece of information that they have a hint of what the profession entails.

Each of the kinds mentioned above of transcription can be used in different circumstances. On must be keen to know which one is best for them.One should be aware that the cost they will incur and the time taken will depend on the kind they have settled for.
