Transcription

The purpose of transcription is to transform a verbal text to written and printed words.
People mainly require transcriptions in the following areas:
Transcription of meetings, movies, interviews, conventions, lectures, protocols verbally expressed during deliberations, transcription of conversations, life stories etc. Some people need transcriptions of telephone conversations, covert recordings etc.

If you need a transcription, bare in mind that in order to perform a quality and complete transcription you need more than a pair of earphones and a good audio system.
Many people think that transcription is simple and all you have to do is listen to the person speaking and then type what he is saying on the computer.  

The mastery required in order to perform a good transcription combines a number of skills:
When performing a transcription, noises and disruptions must be screened in order to make sure that the speech is as clear as possible
During the transcription the spoken text must be timed with the written text.  When one needs a transcription + translation, we would prefer for the transcription to be done by a translator that has suitable skills and completely controls both the source language and target language.

A quality transcription must be done by a professional that understands all the fine details of a language and knows how to perform careful, meticulous and accurate work.
Once the transcription is completed, it has to be checked to make sure it is accurate and without any spelling mistakes or typing errors

A quality transcription must make sure that no word is left out during the process. Lack of attention whilst performing a transcription, may lead to omitting details that might seem insignificant to the transcriber, but are extremely important to the person ordering the job.

At times Globus Translations prefers to use a number of people to perform one transcription project: one person to perform the transcription itself, another person to perform an accurate translation and if necessary a third person to go over the printed document to make sure it is properly arranged and has no spelling mistakes.

What is a transcription?

A transcription is an action in which a verbal segment is translated into written text. Transcription services are usually required in places and situations that an accurate text is imperative, such as: courtrooms, academic papers, lectures, meetings and even covert recordings. The transcriber's role is to translate the text without any spelling mistakes in optimal speed and according to the standard rules of phraseology and syntax. Performing a quality transcript is immensely important since it actually constitutes a written documentation of something that cannot be altered. We can learn about the importance of an accurate transcript from its essential use in court: if the transcriber heard and typed "accept", whilst the original word in the recording or the courtroom was "except", the transcriber completely changed the essence of the word. The use and need for transcription services has developed over the years as we can see by the different transcription areas: transcribing lectures, conventions, telephone conversations and more. Since the digital world has also immensely progressed in recent years, transcription has become simpler and more available to everyone – there is no longer a need for transcribing outdated tapes and today almost any audio segment can be transcribed by different transcription companies, all by simply sending an email. In addition, since most cellular phones include a recording option, the demand for transcribing telephone conversation has increased, leading to the increased popularity of various transcription companies. As the transcription area concerns many different fields, the need for a professional transcription is important and constitutes a basic layer in all the transcription companies; transcribing assessment and arbitration meetings requires a basic need in transcribing deliberations with a number of participants, medical and economic transcriptions requires some basic background knowledge in these areas as well as familiarity with the relevant phrases and key terms and so on.
