The quality of transcripts is directly proportional to the quality of audio you provide. While a lot of factors sum up to a great transcript, the quality of recording is on the top part of the list. Here are some tips for recording good audio files: 1. Record in a quiet place, such as an enclosed room. It's necessary to keep the recording as clear as possible without the avoidable noise from your surroundings, i.e. people chattering, passing vehicles, etc. 2. Speak clearly and audibly. Also, it is best to speak at a uniform distance from the recorder so the voices don't “fluctuate” throughout the audio. 3. For recordings with multiple speakers: have the participants refrain from talking over one another. Another tip is to have them introduce themselves before speaking, as sometimes voices can be difficult to tell apart in the recording. This way, the transcriber could easily distinguish between speakers and could label them in the transcripts more accurately. 4. Use a reliable digital recording tool. This plays a major role as it ensures the quality of the recording. A good digital recorder captures crisp, clear speech, so having one is surely a nice investment. Or, we can give you one for free! Once you're good to go, you can send your recording to a reputable transcription company to have them transcribed.
