As we begin to see things opening up again, staff are returning to the office for at least a few days a week and those sectors such as conferences and B2B events are once again being planned. And with this opening up we’re already seeing an uplift in clients contacting us for our transcription service.
But why bother using a transcription service?
As people begin to meet face to face once again for business meetings, it makes sense for a whole host of reasons to invest in a transcription service for your meeting or event…and these are our 5 reasons why:
All eyes on…
The meeting should be all about focus and minimising distractions. Using a transcription service means those attending the meeting can do exactly that: focus on what’s happening, what’s being said and pay full attention – rather than risking the distraction of taking meeting notes.
Make the most of the time
Having a transcript of any previous meetings that can be shared beforehand means everyone is up to speed with what is being discussed. It reduces the need to recap and cover old ground, which can be time consuming.
Lasting record
Having a transcript of any event means the content extends way beyond the event itself. There’s no room for error or debate when it comes to who said what, you can accurately quote speakers and use quotes in marketing material and the content can be used over and over again – which ultimately gives you much more “bang for your buck”.
Make the content work harder
We’ve spoken before about repurposing content, and this is exactly where you can make the content work harder for you. Taking a transcript and turning it into an ebook or even an infographic will mean you could even look to sell the repurposed content in this new form.
The perfect way to create searchable text
When you use our transcription service and make the content available to your staff, you’re providing better accessibility for all your employees – especially those with hearing difficulties. Not only that, you’ll benefit from an accurate digital index of meetings that can be easily searched, with the ability to search for specific topics too.
