Lecture Transcription Service
Whether it’s an academic lecture, a conference keynote speaker, or an after-dinner speech, Transcriptionsouthcarolina.com provides a first-class lecture transcription service. We have earned a reputation as leader in the transcription industry, and we are particularly enthusiastic about our lecture transcription services.
We consider audio (and video) recordings as “lectures” when one or more people address an audience sequentially. For example, a person speaks or introduces another speaker, the speaker addresses the audience, and a moderator concludes the session.
Although the fascinating range of subject matter dealt with in speeches and lectures makes them enjoyable to transcribe, lecture transcription and speech transcription are challenging tasks from the acoustic point of view. However, with a professional audio recording set-up (a direct feed from the speaker’s microphone into professional equipment), lectures and speeches can be one of the clearest forms of recording, making the transcriber's job that much easier.
The following factors affect the recording quality for lectures:
- Whether or not they are professionally recorded
- Degree of interaction between the lecturer and the audience
- Excessive background noise
- Poor sound quality (tape or environment)
- Lecture is recorded from the audience
- Lecture recorded on microcassette
If you have a choice, we strongly recommend choosing a digital recording method. This results in high-quality recording, which in turn reduces transcription costs and turnaround times. Other factors that sometimes affect transcription turnaround time for lecture transcription and speech transcription are subject matter and accents (when the lecturer is using English as a second language, for example).
Benefits of outsourcing lecture transcription to Transcriptionsouthcarolina.com’s include:
- We are happy to transcribe any Q&A sessions or audience participation, and include them in your lecture transcript or speech transcript.
- If your lecture has a presentation aspect (Power Point slides, for example), we can arrange to match these with the lecture transcript (we provide video and DVD transcription services).
- We are equipped to convert both standard analogue tapes and minidiscs to PC-based digital audio files for subsequent digital transcription, and we can provide you with the digital recordings.
- For lectures or speeches transmitted as podcast, we provide podcast transcription services as well.
- Especially for academic transcription, we assign specialized transcriptionists to transcribe technical or specialized lectures, and when possible, we instruct our transcribers to prepare for particular topics (legal transcriptionists for law school lectures, medical transcriptionists for medical topics, etc.)
- We provide language transcription services (we can transcribe lectures and speeches delivered in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German as well as in English)
Some of the reasons why our transcription company stands far above the competition are our excellent Quality Assurance System, our 99% word-for-word accuracy guarantee, and the Internet research we routinely undertake to identify names or terminology in recorded lectures.
