Face to face meetings are the perfect forum to make decisions and thrash out contract details but sharing a written account can be incredibly time-consuming.

If you rely on forums and meetings to formulate ideas and move business forward as quickly as possible, transcribing audio recordings can seriously bite into your time afterwards.

How can transcription services help?

This is just one of the ways transcription services can save you time and money, after all while a virtual assistant deciphers audio recordings you can be busy at the next meeting.

It is not just business meetings that require a written account of a spoken conversation. Transcription services can be useful in a number of situations, including:

·         Research interviews

·         Motivational seminars

·         Legal proceedings

·         Media interviews

·         Conference calls

·         Briefings

With multiple people often speaking and interruptions distorting audio recordings, transcription services are ideal to decipher and record an accurate note of what is being heard.

Typing speed may be one aspect that gets the job done quicker but experience of what needs to be included and the need to distinguish voices can be incredibly tricky and time-consuming.

Let a professional transcriber put their skills to the test instead of your patience.

Get the job done quicker with an audio typist

Speed, of course, is usually what matters most when getting a job done, particularly when it comes to getting documents issued to deadlines.

As a general rule people speak between 125 and 150 words per minute, while the average typing speed is 40 wpm.

A recording that lasts just five minutes take will a considerable amount of time to convert into writing, never mind a two-hour focus group.

Trained typists have speed on their side – with 80 wpm being a very good speed and 120 wpm being exceptional.

The figures speak for themselves – why struggle to meet deadlines when a virtual assistant could transcribe a recording in half the time?

It is not just about transcribing tricky forums or lengthy interviews, audio typing services help to get vital day to day tasks cleared while you concentrate on other aspects of the business.

Dictating a letter, briefing or operating procedure can be far quicker than sitting down to type it and check it is up to scratch. Audio typing will save you time when issuing:

·         General correspondence

·         Employment offers

·         Staff memos

·         Replying to complaints

·         Updating company policy

Instead of getting behind with paperwork, delegate time-consuming jobs to an audio typist, freeing up your time to concentrate on tasks that support revenue growth.
