Tips on Making a Quality Recording Material
Transcribing a recording material can take a lot
of time and effort. One of the major
problems that you can encounter during the
transcription is the recording quality. Digital
transcription services are always open to assist
you in this field. They can provide digital
transcription services in an accurate and
error-free material.
Finding a good transcriptionist is one answer to
your transcription dilemma. There is
a corresponding cost of generating the
transcript, which depends greatly on the overall
quality of the file or tape. To reduce the cost
of your transcription, then try to produce a good
recording, as well as increase the accuracy of
transcription. Here are the tips on how to make
your recording the best of its quality for a
better transcription
?
Speak clearly.
Speak at a good level of volume not too loud
and not too low.
?
Speak one at a time.
If the file or the script needs one or two
voices, make sure that they speak one at a time.
?
Record on a high quality setting
This is good for digital or tape recorders as it
makes an understandable recording, but uses a lot
tape or memory.
?
Find a quiet environment
Record in a quiet environment and ensure that
there is no background noise from others such as
fans, music, and air conditioning etc.
?
Use a microphone near the speaker
In this way, the voice is clearer when recorded.
If the speaker is moving around, then you can use
a wireless lapel microphone.
?
Use CBR format when saving the file
Do not use the VBR or Variable Bit Rate format
when saving files to MP3 on your computer or any
memory saving device.
A quick reminder, these tips do not apply to
every situation. If you are recording a
single-person transcription, then it could be
rare for such problems to occur. A good
transcriptionist can manage situations such as
background noise or conversations, especially
during a group discussion.
