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).
- Participants 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.
- Have the recording equipment centrally placed so the voices of all participants are clear.
- Recording equipment specifically for dictation is more suitable - equipment used for note taking (often used by students) doesn’t provide optimum sound quality.
- A smaller room for the interview is preferred to a larger room.
- We request you provide us with unusual names and terms so we can use the correct spelling.
- We encourage the use of your document templates as this ensures consistency of the preferred format for your documents.
