Fun Facts About Transcription Services!

We all are familiar with transcription services and since the 17th century, these amazing services are with us and helping us grow on a global level. Now, transcription services have become so essential that each and every business needs them. Such services get more important if your business is about handling a lot of visual and audio content, either for your clients, customers or audience. In this blog, we are going to discuss a few things about transcription.

Before availing transcription services for your business, you must read the below-given facts:

1.    Any professional transcriber usually types about 80 to 100 words in a minute and thus it takes only 4 to 6 hours to completely transcribe any recorded interview. Now, this is equal to about 2.35 minutes of transcription for every minute spoken in the real interview.

2.    Each and every word in English contains about 4.5 letters in it. This implies that any slow speaker would produce about 150 x 4.5 = 675 characters every single minute and this is just average. Now, you know that a transcriber has such mind-blowing hearing power that he/she can transcribe about 675 characters in a minute. And this is without the additional 170 characters of the punctuation marks making the total characters about 825 in a minute and this is also just an average. So, don’t you think that the transcriber has to handle a lot?


So, if you want a good transcriber to carry out your transcription work, then do ask him about the total characters and words that he generally types.
