By Jennifer Hall


People know transcription as basically converting an audio or video into a written format which is helpful in referencing and also gives one room to understand better the contents of the information. One can, however, be able to enjoy more from these services if they have the facts about the types of professional transcription Boston that are available in the industry.

Many forms of transcribing exist in the industry today.Each form has its distinct features that make it different from other kinds of service. One must always know which of these services they want to get before calling on for the services. The needs of the client will determine the type of transcription to be applied though they are based on the kind of information and the mode of transcribing.

In the classification depending on how the transcription should be, there are three types. That is verbatim, edited and intelligent transcription. Verbatim is the kind of service that requires one to take into account everything that appears in the audio. It must not omit anything at hand. The information taken include even the unnecessary noises, chuckles, and laughs.

One can be able to undertake this kind of job if they are extra keen so that they can capture everything that is on the tape including the unnecessary noises that are heard. Apart from this, one needs to capture if what does not seem to make sense at all. It is common in legal proceedings, commercials, and movies.

Second is edited services. As the name suggests, the whole essence of the work is to edit the audio through omitting what does not seem necessary but at the same time ensure that the meaning is retained. It is similar to verbatim in that it takes long as one has to listen carefully to the audio or video before picking what is to be dropped.

You cannot be good at doing an edited kind of service if you are not aware of the purpose of the information. Knowing the purpose will enable you to know what should be omitted and what must be retained. It is usually used for seminars, meetings, and classes.

The third in this category is intelligence transcribing. This type is the most demanding and takes the expertise of very competent transcribers. It calls for a transcribing that is very direct with less diversion. The transcriber has to ensure that all that they take into account are important. This makes it the most expensive.

Broadening the classification on the kind of information that is being dealt with we end up having transcriptions depending on professions like law, medicine, business, insurance and many others. One should work on a piece of information that they have a hint of what the profession entails.

All the above-mentioned types of services are paramount in their capacity. They will have their application where they are suitable. Clients must be aware of what they want since it is going to determine what they will pay and how long they will have to wait.
