What is Transcription?

Transcription in its basic form is the process of representing oral text in a written text format. The oral text usually comes in the form of various audio and video files. Textual files can include word documents, PDF or simple text (.TXT). Usually businesses indulge in transcribing audio and video recordings of various activities of their company into textual archives. Some of these activities include seminars, conferences, meetings, interviews, brainstorming sessions etc.

A few advantages of transcribing include creating a permanent record, wider reach and ability to review documents quickly. A typical example of creating online transcripts might include a seminar session where the particular speech by a speaker is recorded either on audio or video. This is then reviewed by a transcriptionist who converts this speech into a text based transcript. This transcript can later be distributed to attendees for a review or for further action.

Initially transcription services were largely prevalent in the healthcare industry where doctors' notes and operative procedures were transcribed as part of patient care. It can now be seen across various business and academic functions as well.
