Transcription Resources

Transcription services are simple to use and can save a lot of time and energy. However, it results in additional costs and the obvious question arising is "Is it worth the cost?" Definitely! The numerous benefits of transcription outweigh its cost. Professional transcription services not only help in optimum utilization of your resources and but also provide a host of other benefits.

Easy to understand and refer to
Transcription is especially helpful for those who get easily distracted while listening to an audio and for those who register information better when they read it. When you have the transcripts in front of you, you can understand each work clearly. This may not be the case while listening to the audio. Also, you can grasp the content better in minimum time and can go back to reading any part of the text with complete ease.

For translations
Transcription helps spread knowledge and information. By transcribing an audio and then translating it into different languages, you can share important content with others, which would otherwise be inaccessible to them. This helps companies to track the latest developments in their field and be informed of technological advancements. Also, when you send a transcript for translation, you can expect an accurate and error-free output.

Easy to store, share and transport
It is easier to store and refer to the audio in MS-Word format. Since text files are smaller in size, it is convenient to share the information and transmit it across the Internet. Information becomes readily available and you can make use of it as and when required.

Some examples
Transcription is beneficial to various companies across industries as well as different departments within a company. We have provided specific examples below for your understanding:

HR Department (Transcription type: Interview)
It is very difficult to find skilled candidates and then retain them. Identifying the right candidate is very important. It can sometimes be very difficult for one person to judge the skill of another person and may need advice from people in other departments. Interview transcription comes to help here. You can easily record the interview and then get the audio transcribed. The document can then be circulated to many people who can give their opinion on the candidate. This is especially helpful for high rank positions that influence the growth of the company and require advice from key managers who may be unavailable or be in different geographical locations at that time.

HR Department (Transcription Type: Training)
In every company, employees need training. Training is required on things such as time management, office ethics, problem solving, and other HR and management related issues. It is not possible for every company to give this training to all employees because it costs a lot to develop training material or sometimes organized knowledge may not exist to provide that training.

However, today there is a lot of training material easily available over the Internet. Information/training material regarding common issues faced by companies worldwide are available over the Internet in video/audio format absolutely free of cost. You can download the ones suited to your purpose and get them transcribed. If they are in English and you require them in another language, they can be translated after transcribing. It will still be cheaper than developing your own course or hiring a consultant. The biggest advantage of this is that once developed, you can use it again and again to provide training to everyone in the company, at a very low cost.

Academic/industry lecture, conference, or seminar
In the case of a speech, lecture, or seminar delivered by a very experienced professional, everyone wants to attain valuable knowledge and learn from it. However, they may not be able to attend the event. Moreover, if the speaker has a strong accent, it may be difficult to grasp and understand everything that is said in that short span of time. If you can record the event (with permission), then you can transcribe it and distribute it to others and also read it to understand every word clearly.

Business (Transcription type: Meetings)
There are a lot of important things discussed in business meetings. Every word is important and can influence the course of business. Misunderstandings often happen when there is no written record of things that are discussed verbally. Business transcription can help you get a verbatim record of all your important meetings, seminars, teleconferences, etc. It is convenient and easier to share the final transcripts with others and for saving it for future reference or distribution. This facilitates growth because there is no room for assumptions and everyone concerned has the information required in the same format. As per your requirements, you can also get this document translated into different languages.

Business (Transcription type: Industry news)
In this global age, every company needs to know what is happening in their industry on a daily basis. Companies need to keep a tab on the new products being launched and innovations happening in the industry.

For instance, when a large multinational company makes a speech or has conference calls, a lot of precious information is given out. It is beneficial for companies to download the audio from the Internet or get them transcribed. This can then be circulated to relevant departments in a company such as marketing, management, IT, etc.

Apart from the above benefits, transcription can also be customized to meet your specific goals and business needs. No matter what your objective is, no matter if your assignment is big or small, Voxtab can handle all your transcription needs. Please contact us at for more details.
