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.
