In the business world today, the accuracy of transcriptions is difficult to maintain. Improving the way you document everything and keep it high quality is important. It improves the accessibility of your content and saves you time as well.
Following a few tips, you can improve your transcriptions, workflow, and efficiency. Here are 6 simple tips to get you started.
1. Choose a Good Microphone
The whole point of using a good microphone is to ensure the audio is clear. Cheap low-quality microphones tend to make your audio unclear. You need to invest in good-quality noise-canceling headphones to get crisp and clear sound.
2. Record in a Quiet Space
External noise can make it difficult to understand the audio and ruin the recording. Make sure you are always recording in a quiet environment without any background noise. Noise like people conversing and traffic disrupt the clarity.
3. Use Helpful Transcription Tools
Transcription tools can help you save a lot of time and work more efficiently. These tools have features like automatic transcription and speaker identification. When you want to invest in a transcription tool, you must choose one that focuses on being user-friendly and supports multiple audio formats.
4. Save Files in the Right Format
Your transcription quality is affected by the format of your audio. Using an m4a (MPEG-4 Audio) format is considered a good choice because it keeps the file size manageable and keeps the quality of audio high. Saving in the right format helps you process audio smoothly.
5. Follow Important and Legal Rules
It is important to follow the rules of privacy when you are transcribing sensitive and personal information like in health care and legal settings. You need to make sure you are within the legal guidelines such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) and have permission to record and transcribe.
6. Use a Foot Pedal for Increased Efficiency
A foot pedal makes a huge difference specifically for longer projects. It allows people to control playback for audio with their feet, leaving the hands free to type. It reduces the effort of constantly switching between the keyboard and mouse and speeds up the process too.
