Accurate Transcription Services
Recording equipment is cheap these days and you have no excuse for supplying your transcriptionist with poor facility recordings. Regardless of how good or important the information contained within your recording is you need to discover how to record properly.
Using the right equipment for the event you are recording is important and may require more than a mobile phone or Dictaphone. The event you are recording and the equipment you are using will determine the quality of the audio
Ensure your recording playback is clear
Think about how many people will be talking to determine if you require a single microphone or multiple microphones. Pound for pound Dictaphones tend to be the cheapest but only useful for simple dictations A person can speak quicker than they can type and the time taking to transcribe your recording can vary dependant on the quality of recording and the number of people talking.
