The OutSec App
Many of you may already be familiar with our App and even use it on a daily basis to send us work. This App has been tailored for our client needs and, whilst the sound recording is exceptionally high, we suggest it is used solely for one-to-one or single recording. However if you were considering small meeting recordings there is a simple way to enhance our App’s recording capabilities by simply plugging a microphone to the charging or headphone port. Yes, that simple! For further information on this and appropriate conference/seminar recording equipment please call our Partners DMCL on 0207 2221531 or visit their website www.dmcl.co.uk. Mention OutSec when you call to ensure best service!
Deciding which type of transcription to use depends wholly on the intended use of the content. Conferences & Seminars can depend on end of use application. A disciplinary report often needs to be word-for-word as also in the case of psychology reports. The explanations below will help you decide which type of transcription will be best for your project.
Intelligent Verbatim
Intelligent verbatim transcription omits all “umms”, “ahhs”, laughter and pauses throughout the conversation. OutSec transcriptionists take a common sense approach eliminating words not relevant to the subject matter. As a result, an “intelligent “transcript is provided. For example, a speaker repeats herself for emphasis or uses colloquialisms like ‘you see’ for illustration. In this case this is not necessary to the transcript and will be omitted. This is the least expensive and most commonly requested transcript.
Edited
Edited transcription is a full and accurate script that has been formalised. Often used by lecturers or conference organisers it is edited for readability and clarity. In other words a concise and easy to read transcript appropriate for B2B communications, publishing houses (particular academic reports).
Verbatim
Verbatim, as you probably already know, means “word for word”. Behaviour and reactions are equally as important as the spoken words. Because of this the transcript will include repetition such as umms, ahhs, etc. In other words it is a 100% accurate record. Clients requiring verbatim are interested in the psychology behind the audio. As a result this service is commonly used by the Police, Courts, Forensic Accountants and Market Researchers.
Can you take a company’s ‘word’ that they comply with regulatory requirements? Are you happy to accept their word? OutSec can guarantee that they comply with all current legislation and are audited annually so they continue to meet standards year-on-year. The implications of outsourcing and non-compliance with GDPR is a huge risk and in our opinion can lead to serious consequences. We suggest that anyone reading this website who is considering outsourcing their typing reads the following two articles:
