Transcription is the process of transferring information from one medium to another, and generally refers to creating a text document from oral speech. The most common uses for a transcription company include: business conferences, interviews, focus groups, teleconferences, dictated material such as correspondence or reports, seminars, and meetings. Using the right transcription company to suit your needs, or the needs of the people you are representing, is vitally important. Initially you must decide what you want the transcription company for. There are many companies specializing in different areas of transcription and it is advisable to try to seek out the company that can help you most efficiently and effectively. This is especially important if you are in need of transcription services for the medical industry, as some medial terms can be difficult to understand for people unfamiliar in the industry. Once you have found a few companies that meet the needs you require, you must take the time to check the background of each company. Proper research on each company can affirm your belief in their ability or lead you to strike them from your list. An internet search for Transcription Company will bring up a huge list of different companies but most importantly, review sites concerning those companies also. Check testimonials, but always be wary when they are hosted on the company website. Once you have narrowed your list to companies that have stellar backgrounds, then you want to turn your attention to price. Again, specificity will play a role here. Traditionally, a do-it-all company will quote you less expensive rates than a specialized company. However, with the specialized company, you are paying for the experience and skill of their transcriptionists. You can find the rates on the companies’ websites or you can place calls to the companies and request a quote. Other companies allow you to submit quote requests online. You should start to see a baseline price between non-specialized companies and a baseline price between specialized companies as well. If you have ongoing transcription work, you can use that as a bargaining chip to secure a discount. Having tunnel vision with regard to price can be risky. If you look only at cost and fail to check the reputation and customer satisfaction record of a company you may regret it going forward. I again stress the importance of investing the time to verify the quality of each companies work product. This can save you money in the future if you are able to avoid a company whose work you might have to have redone. Getting unbiased reviews is very important and definitely increases the odds of your finding the best company for your needs on the first try.
