Transcription - Making Your Life Easier

 

 Transcription - Making Your Life Easier


Are you a college student taking a foreign language but struggling to keep up with the speed of the native speakers in your classes? Do you have trouble understanding recordings of people speaking on topics that interest you without subtitles to help? Is there someone important who speaks another language and it would be nice to have them translate a document or letter for you? Transcription is the answer.

A transcriptionist is someone who listens to audio recordings and types what they hear into written words. It can be either a freelance job one person does, or part-time work for many employees at an office building. It can be done in the field by a person who is at a meeting, while shooting video, or riding in a car with a conversation. Transcriptionists are also used by nonprofits and schools to help them provide aid to other people.

Students learn about transcription through an internship or as part of their education. Schools such as the University of Kentucky Dixie Demonstration Station have internships for students interested in learning about transcription and how it works. There are also professional organizations for transcribers; such as the AudioFile Association which has a certification program for transcribers who want to join it.

Transcription is a skill that is useful in many professions. It can be beneficial to transcribers while they are studying, or it can be a way to make extra money from those who do not have the time to learn it on their own. There are jobs for those who like to transcribe for the purpose of learning about their field, as well as those wanting to make money from what they know.

Transcription helps with language barriers. It helps with translation by allowing people with different languages to communicate through writing instead of languages that do not have the same alphabet. Transcriptionists also offer services when there is no one on hand to translate a document or letter.

While transcription is not a full-time job, it can be a great resource to have available. There are also many professions that require some transcription as part of their daily tasks. A job at a law firm uses transcribing all of their files, as well as word processing. A hospital or office uses transcriptions to write down patient charts, medical records and phone calls. Transcriptionists can also find work at companies that use them for board meetings or transcripts for recordings an event where one group is speaking and another group isn't enough on paper for everyone to understand what was said.

Transcription is a profession that is not expected to grow, but certainly has a strong market. The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the profession will decline by almost 20% over the next few years, and there is a chance that the decline will continue beyond 20%. There are many reasons why this could happen, including more efficient technology and companies doing their own transcription instead of outsourcing it. However, there are also many people who need help transcribing their documents, training videos and more. There will always be work for those who provide transcription services; whether it is for learning about other languages or for making extra money from something you enjoy doing.
