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

Tips:

• 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.
