Transcription Process

Our transcription process consists of following steps.

1. File Splitting: In the first step, the audio file is split at 6 minute intervals.

2. Raw Transcription: In this step, the audio for each part file is played back and transcribed as accurately and cleanly as possible. The incomprehensible parts are marked with blanks. We provide a free automated transcript which you can correct and submit as per our guidelines.

3. Review: During Review, the Raw Transcript is checked for correctness and quality. The audio file is played back again and each transcribed word is checked against the audio. The blanks are filled, if possible. Timestamps and speaker tracking are also added at this stage.

4. Proofreading: In this step all part files are collated together and the combined transcript is checked against the audio once more.

5. Quality Check: In the last step, the transcript is quality checked and either delivered to the customer or re-proofread.

The Freelance Transcription Program is applicable at steps 2, 3, 4 and 5, namely Raw Transcription, Review, Proofreading and QC. As a certified transcriber you can login to your account anytime, select a file for transcription, review or proofreading and submit them. The earnings will be credited to your account when your file completes the next step. You can also preview any file to check the quality and accents and before you select.
