Valuable Tips for Quality Transcription

Purple Giraffe Transcription Online will complete your transcriptions more efficiently and accurately if the suggestions below are followed:

Background noise during recording is minimized (ie: no music, chat, traffic, clicking of pens and with mobile phones switched off or on silent) as this can impair the digital dictation process and quality of sound recorded.
Talk slowly and clearly.
Where there are several people in a focus group or interview, as much as possible have only one person talking at a time (ie: eliminate over talking and interruptions) as this enables us to transcribe more of the content.
Place the recording equipment centrally so the voices of all participants are clear.
Recording equipment specifically for digital dictation is more suitable – equipment used for note taking (often used by students) doesn’t provide optimum sound quality for digital dictation.
A smaller room for the interview is preferred to a larger room.
Provide spelling of unusual names and terms so we can return a completely accurate transcript to you.
Your document templates are used as this ensures consistency of the preferred format for your transcriptions.
