Produce professional transcripts faster
Transcription may seem easy. You just type out what is being said. Yet it's easier said than done. If you type out a file with the wrong software and you don’t use any keyboard shortcuts, you’ll get very frustrated and take far longer than you should. Plus, if you don’t use the right techniques, formatting, and grammar, your transcript will be riddled with mistakes.
To succeed at transcription, you need to know how to produce professional-level transcripts that people are willing to pay for in and do so in an efficient manner. You also need to master not only simple transcription skills, but harder skills such as cleaning up bad audio, tracking more than two speakers, and timestamping a file. While these skills are more challenging to learn, they also increase the type of jobs you can take on and the amount you can earn.
