Transcription Services

For fast and accurate transcription services, email or mail us your recordings in digital format (.wav and .dss), standard or micro-cassette format and we’ll handle all of your transcription needs!
 

Listed below are a few tips which will help ensure the accuracy of the final product.

Tips:

  • Use tapes designed for voice dictation only and be sure the tape is completely erased before use.

  • When using micro-cassette tapes, avoid recording at half-speed.  
    Reduce background noise such as traffic, music, etc., before dictating.

  • Use a quality microphone. If there are several speakers, have each speaker wear a microphone on his or her lapel.

  • If there are several speakers, remind each person that their discussion is being recorded and only one person may speak at a time.

  • Speak loudly and clearly and not too quickly or too slowly. Practice to find the optimal distance from the microphone as well as speaking volume.

  • Identify yourself and any other speakers on the tape.

  • Dictate any punctuation or style preferences.

  • Spell any words or proper names which may be unfamiliar to the transcriptionist.

  • Inform transcriptionist if dictation continues onto side b of the tape.

  • Say "End of Tape" when  finished dictating.

  • Please rewind tapes before sending.

The Fine Print: Carol Allen Word Processing is not responsible for tapes which are lost during shipping or damaged during the transcription process. Please make backup copies of all tapes before sending.
