  • 1.  Online transcription services?

    Posted 12-02-2017 04:44 AM
    I would like for audio recordings of presentations and conference sessions I've participated in to be transcribed via online services and would like recommendations. I have looked at several so far. While free is nice, I am willing to pay and understand rates will vary according to quality. I am not a techie nor do I intend to be. I am looking for reliable and easy to access service and to be able to edit, name, and time stamp the results. Also, I am in a time crunch. Many thanks. 

    Sincerely, 
    George

    I have tried a few and settled on Rev.com. They have quick turnaround, and reliably transcribe the audio (even foreign accents).

    For our Oral History program we utilize Audio Transcription Center (audiotranscriptioncenter.com).  Communication and response time is great and they will even translate foreign language content.

    Many thanks to each respondent. I've gotten good suggestions, which are much appreciated. The good news is that more are coming in, and I hope these sources might help others. 

    Thanks again, George

    Hi George,

    I've had success with Upwork.com where you can hire transcribers and all sorts of professional freelancers to many things. The transcriber I hired, Erin Edgecomb, was efficient and accurate, and I would hire her again. But there are many people to choose from, and price ranges.

    I've also looked into Speedpad.com but haven't used them.

    Good luck!

    Robin
