Express Scribe - Dictation Recording Software

Dictation Recording Software

 

 

 
Digital Transcription
Using the digital transcription service couldn't be easier.  I am able to transcribe anything from a letter, a manuscript or even a film or television script, and a fast accurate overnight service if required.

The transcription software works with Philips, Sony, Sanyo, Grundig, Lanier, Olympus and VoiceIt digital recorders and supports all audio files. We transcribe recorded dictations using Express Dictation software from NCH Swift Sound

Whether you are using a digital recorder or recording directly onto your PC, just attach the digitally recorded file to an email message and send to me at lorraine@vbsupport.co.uk for a fast and competitive service. I am also able to transcribe from CD or audio tapes and mini discs.

If you are new to digital transcription and have further questions, and would like prices for our digital transcription services, or are just curious as to how digital technology can help your business, or perhaps want to get started but don't know which digital recorder would be best for you, then get in touch either by email or Live Chat and Virtual Business Support will set you on the right track with no obligation to use our digital transcription services.

Listed below is a short guide on some of the many digital voice recorders that you may find useful.

PHILIPS  

Both of Philips Digital Voice Tracers can be voice activated, which allows hand free use, making this a great choice for that drive home after a long day at the office.  The DVT 7620 has a recording time of 8 hours, and 16 hours for the DVT 7670.

OLYMPUS

The Olympus DS-330 has a recording time of 5.5 hours and is easy to connect to your computer via a USB docking station.

EXPRESS DICTATE - Computer Dictation System

Express Dictate is a computer based recorder that works like a dictaphone.  You dictate using your computer or portable recorder and then send your recording via email to your digital transcriber. For Medical and legal users there is an encrypted version.

The length of time taken to transcribe tapes and digital files can vary, and is dependent on the clarity and content of the recording, and the number of people speaking.

These following points should help to keep transcription time to a minimum:

  • Speak clearly, slowly and at an audible level
  • Record in a quiet environment if possible
  • Spell out any technical words, names, etc.
  • Start recording well before you speak.

For your general guidance, we speak around four times faster than we can type, so a 15 minute recording should take around one hour to transcribe,  based on one person speaking clearly and following the guidelines given above.  If the content is focus groups or meetings it can take six times longer to transcribe.
