DIGITAL AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION
Increasingly, easier Internet access and other technological advances have affected dictation and transcription services. Sending digital voice recordings to transcription service providers over the Internet significantly reduces the delay between recording audio and the production of text transcripts, reducing the cost of outsourced transcription.
Other advantages of digital dictation and digital voice recordings over analog audio recording include:
- Enhanced Quality : Digital technology eliminates background noise and stores recorded sounds as bits of data, so they can be copied with no deterioration in quality. Transcribers working with material of superior quality and clarity, work faster and produce more accurate transcripts.
- Easy Manipulation of digital files is another reason why transcription service providers are increasingly encouraging their clients to adopt digital voice recording formats. It is a simple matter to edit, add or delete parts of a digital voice recording – there is no need to overwrite previous recordings. Transcriptionists can locate specific parts of a speech simply by placing a “bookmark” on the digital file. Transcription company clients have the option to remove any parts of a digital voice file that they do not want to transcribe, sending only the necessary material to their transcription service provider. This is convenient where privacy and security issues are often involved.
- Vital Information such as case names (in law transcription) and patient names or chart numbers (medical transcription) can be put in file headers.
- Absence of File Length Restrictions : digital sound files, however long, are stored on computers. This means that they save valuable storage space for transcription companies and their clients. It is also possible to record digital audio files directly onto the hard drives of computers, although this is not recommended for speech transcription, interview transcription, conference transcription and some legal transcription where the presence of a laptop during the recording process may be disrupting.
A word of caution to Tennessee transcription clients: It is very important to make sure that the transcription service provider you employ is equipped to use, or convert, the digital file format you are using. Almost all Tennessee transcription companies offer audio transcription services using standard audio cassettes, micro and mini cassettes. This is not always the case for digital file recordings.
