How a Virtual Assistant Can Help You with Transcription

Many companies hire transcribers to convert their audios or videos into written content. If you haven’t thought about transcribing your podcasts, videos and meetings, this blog will help you to understand why you should.

What exactly is transcription?

Generally, transcription is the act of listening to a recording and then typing out what you hear into a document, which is then sent to a client, a team or even yourself. Typically, this is an important meeting, interview or a research study, but one can transcribe any recording they wish to have in written format.

Why you need a transcriber?

If you’ve tried to transcribe a recording yourself, you’ve probably experienced how long it can take. It can take ages to type out a recording on your own, which is valuable time that an entrepreneur like you can use elsewhere. If you don’t have good typing skills, this can take even longer.

Another reason you need a transcriber is to avoid errors in your documents. Errors can cost your business in the long-run. A professional transcriber will not miss the important details and will create error-free documents. You need to transcribe your recordings accurately to avoid lawsuits and disputes later.

Finally, transcribing your recordings can allow you to repurpose your content through multiple channels (Books, eBooks, courses etc.). This increases your reach.
