Transcription is the process of converting speech into written text, and there are plenty of situations when it can be used. We examine some of them in further detail below:
1.Videos & subtitling
This is probably the most obvious format that needs professional transcription. Not only will video transcription help with your website’sSEO, but transcribing videos will mean those that are deaf or hard of hearing can also enjoy your video and multimedia content. To paraphrase Bill Gates; “(video) content is king” nowadays, and according to Google, searches related to “how to” on YouTube are growing 70% year on year, so it’s important that you make sure your content is searchable and easy to understand for all your customers.
2.Legal & court hearings
During legal proceedings, professional transcription can cover areas such as technical details, evidence, testimonies and witness statements. Eging solutions has provided legal translation and interpreting services for one of the leading litigation court cases of 2015 that required witness statements to be translated from Italian to English. Having this information documented in text format also means that you don’t have to fast forward or listen through reals of audio recordings in order to find a certain passage.
3.Medical appointments
Doctors, consultants and medical professionals often record reports via an audio or voice recording device. It could be that you need these files in text format or perhaps your patient doesn’t speak English and you need to have these files translated into another language, and transcription makes this process possible.
4.Disciplinary & HR meetings
With the nature of these meetings, it can help to have everything documented and formally transcribed to ensure that nothing is missed or misinterpreted. It also removes the need for HR personnel to take notes, allowing them to fully concentrate on the task at hand. For more information on HR translation services, have a look at our HR leaflet.
5.Marketing research focus groups
When going to all the trouble to arrange focus groups, you want to make sure that your efforts don’t go wasted. If the focus group leader is busy trying to take notes, it could mean that the group isn’t led in the right direction and doesn’t achieve the goals you set out. On the other hand, if the group leader concentrated solely on directing the conversation, an important comment could be missed, and this could set your project back.

6.Press conferences
In today’s modern society, with online platforms and social media being so prevalent, it’s easy for your announcement to be interpreted and modified by various different parties, so a written proof can help to control the message dispersion.
