General Information regarding transcription of interviews
OutSec employs 3 different types of standard interview transcription:
a) Verbatim
Everything is included in the transcript. This is a totally 100% accurate record of the submitted soundfile, down to all the 'ums, aahs, ohs, and sorries'. No abbreviations or alterations are allowed. Queries or unclear diction are typed in red within the text along with the recorded dictation elapsed time.
This style of report would normally be requested for:
- witness statements
- universities research projects
- medical research notes
- speeches
b) Intelligent Verbatim
A degree of discretion is applied by the typist. A common-sense approach will eliminate words not relevant to the subject matter. English is improved so abbreviations are changed to full grammar. This is a less expensive option to the above. Queries are still typed in red alongside the elapsed time of the sound file.
This style of report would normally be requested for:
- journalist articles
- lecture notes
- reports
- conferences
- board meetings
- recruitment interviews
- telephone interviews
c) Intelligent
The typist has full discretion to edit and proof the transcribed work. The completed document will contain a readable summary of the subject matter. This report may be used as the reference for another article or project.
This style of report would normally be requested for:
- speeches
- conferences
- telephone interviews
- general transcripts
