Do it yourself transcription or Hire someone to do it for you?





The decision to transcribe or to hire a transcriber depends on a few things :

  1. How quickly you need it 
  2. How much money  you have to spend
  3.  Your available time 

Transcribing an audio can take a whole day depending on how long the audio is , the amount of speakers and the language and accent of the speakers. 

If  you choose to transcribe audio on your own here are a few tips. 
  • Select a quiet area
  • Get good quality headsets 
  • Choose a time of the day when  and dedicate your time to it . 
  • Do not transcribe and watch tv, attend to children , listen to music or any other things that would distract you .
  • Listen to the audio first to get a feel of the accent and language of the speaker then start transcribing after.
  • After transcribing check for spelling errors then proof read again .
