Why professional transcription just makes sense

With the full return of conferences and in-person events, we’re once again in demand for our transcription services. Clients call upon us to take the recordings of these events and create a transcript of what was said so they can maximise their investment and provide documentation to attendees and non-attendees alike.

Why transcribe?

There are a number of reasons why using a professional transcription service makes sense:

  • Ease for the reader: being able to read a document in your own time – and even in bite-sized chunks – is significantly easier than having to listen to a full length sound file, and when you take the fact that the sound quality of a recording can be poor or have the added distraction of lots of background noise, a document makes even more sense.
  • Better use of time: transcription can be time-consuming – especially if it’s not within your usual remit of working requirements. By using professionals you’re calling in experts who will have more experience in transcribing and be able to produce the transcript more quickly.
  • Cost efficiency: by producing the transcript more quickly, there is a knock-on effect on costs. Instead of using an employee that isn’t well versed with transcription who will likely take longer and cost a business more, using a professional will in most cases prove to be much more cost-effective.
  • Quality: we pride ourselves on having a team of professional transcribers that are highly experienced in turning audio and video recordings into accurate, well-written documents. Our work is always high-quality with a high degree of accuracy.
  • Available when you need it: most of our clients don’t need transcription on a daily basis. Being able to call upon a team of professionals who can turn around a document when needed is highly beneficial. As demand fluctuates our team can be called whenever they are needed, and stand down when they aren’t.
  • Security is paramount: at Fiona Shipley we understand that many clients have sensitive and confidential information within the content we transcribe that is not for public consumption. We use secure methods to transfer data and all our transcribers are required to sign NDAs as part of their contracts. Your private information is safe with us.
