Dial in Dictation - Tips on dictating for best transcription

The accuracy of transcripts largely depends on how clear the dictation is. If the words are not audible, the best transcriber in the world would still not be able to type it. We can type only what we hear. So it is very important for the users to follow some basic guidelines to ensure good quality dictations. Here are some basic guidelines for dial in dictation:

1. Always dictate in a quiet environment when possible. Ambient noises can interfere with your voice and make the dictated words difficult to understand. You may not realize it but dictations from places like airports, restaurants and even from cars while driving generally pick up a lot of external noise and are pretty difficult to understand.

2. At the start, you may want to specify which type of document it is, which template should be used etc.

3. Try and spell out uncommon names, terms etc to avoid any confusion.

4. Speak clearly and at a good pace. If you speak too fast, transcriber might have a difficult time understanding you.

5. Include punctuation where applicable. Simple instructions like new paragraph, full stop, comma can go a long way in ensuring an accurate transcript.

We have a pretty simple pricing model - - 1 penny per typed word for regular dictation transcription work. I have come across many users who have previously paid upto twice that amount or more for the same work. We believe in providing a cost effective and efficient transcription solution for our users which they can use on a long term basis without worrying about the costs and quality of work. Growing lists of referrals and testimonials from our users are signs that our philosophy of simple pricing and good quality work product rhymes well with our user base.

Scribe4You Transcription Service completes one year

Wow! It has been one year already for Scribe4you transcription services. We started an year ago with an aim to provide simple, cost-effective way to enable people to convert their thoughts into written documents. This was accomplished by providing:

1. Dial in Dictation Service: Users could call our toll free number any time and just speak what they wanted transcribed and hang up. Our transcribers then converted it to text and emailed it back.
2. Web Uploads: Users could just upload their recordings on our website and then we sent the transcripts back in email.
3. Snail Mail: Ship audio/video content to our offices and we email back the transcript.

And boy, what a year it has been. We have continued to grow, primarily through strong referrals of our enthusiastic user base which has grown into 100s of users now. Since then we have expanded to offer variety of services including interview transcription, medical transcription and legal transcription.
