Transcription quality is completely depends on the type of recording equipment you have. You have to record on standard equipment like micro or mini tapes, digital files and mini disks, which the transcriptionists play in computer. If you haven’t standard equipment then don’t mind you only get mini tape Dictaphone for instance, it’s much cheaper than other standard recorder and cheaper instrument quality makes suitable only for basic transcription.
Recorders like mini and micro tape are enough capable to placed on table among an interviewer and interviewee and pick up both voices, but you have to test that recording first. For focus group or conference you have to a good system of microphones, which may be records into a digital audio or standard tape.
You know averagely one hour recording takes four hours to transcribe, but this varies significantly. It might be less to three hours if it in Dictaphone. It’s because we speak faster than faster typist. They only type whatever he or she hears, but it is not a matter that words are right. They have to care about punctuation and picking the correct homonym.
So for getting good quality recording, what you can do? First you have to use the best quality recording equipment for your transcription. A low cost recorder have get very poor quality and for that you have to pay more for transcription and probably it’s more expansive than spending few more money to get better recording equipment. At Dj’s Transcription we can convert minidisk recording to computer.
The other thing is for good recording you have to record in silence environment such as closed cabin or room. This will make very good effect on quality of recording. And if you want to record in open pace or in public area you must have to close microphone to the speakers.
There are more two things which we have to care, like you have to avoid doing some recorders can tape at slower speeds, extending the recording time and dipping the number of tapes used and this usually apply to tapes rather than digital. We suggest you that use only fastest speed setting on your recording equipment. And also there are some problem like soft voiced person might not activate the recorder at all, so that sentence might not be recorded and some time somebody dose speak and activate the recorder stat slight delay, so the first some words probably not be recorded.
So please very much careful about these small points to recording for transcription, and you will get best quality result in your transcription with affordable cost.
