Verbatim transcription services - things to know

Transcription is the art of converting an audio/video or any other form of documents into written or text documents. Medical transcription, audio transcription, media transcription, etc. are some types of transcription. One may confuse transcription with translation.

Translation is the process of converting words or texts in one language to another language. For example converting a document written in Spanish to English is a translation, whereas converting the documents to an audio file into text format is transcription.
What does verbatim transcription mean?

Many available transcription models have the habit of conveying/ converting the message in the audio/ video file in their own way of typing out the words. They don’t really concentrate on typing the exact words used in the audio/video file rather just concentrate on the message alone. But verbatim transcription is different; it is the process of converting the spoken words in an audio/video file into text documents exactly as in the recording so that the exact message is conveyed into the text document.

Verbatim transcription is important for analysts and researchers who seek to know every single word spoken during an event. Verbatim transcripts provide a full-length account of the audio and that includes every umm, ah, hmm, stammering, pause, etc. Only a person with a keen sense of listening can deliver a verbatim transcript. Verbatim transcription services can be categorized into intelligent or clean verbatim, regular verbatim and true verbatim.

 Intelligent verbatim transcription filters out unnecessary words like um, you know, err, etc. from the original audio document. Other unwanted details like emotions (laugh), false starts, pause, repetitions, etc. are also removed in this style of verbatim transcription. 

 This style is adapted when you need a clean and ready to print sort of transcript where the grammatical errors are corrected and the sentences in the actual recording are paraphrased. This style is preferred while making business transcriptions.

 In regular verbatim transcription style, a detailed transcript is made and is slightly edited to remove repetitions, non-verbal communication, false start, etc. This type of transcript is very accurate, yet not loaded with unwanted details. True verbatim transcription copies granular information in a recording including emotions, sounds, etc., there is no editing and no paraphrasing.
