Video transcription is a relatively recent development. For years transcribing from an audio source was the norm. Before digital audio files people would transcribe directly off of audio cassettes. Once transcription went digital people used audio files such as MP3s and WMA files.
It wasn’t until high-speed broadband internet went mainstream that people could easily share video files for transcription.

Why Send Videos for Transcription?
It’s advantageous to send videos for transcription. Here are some of the reasons why video transcription is superior to traditional audio transcription:
- It makes speaker identification much easier. If you filmed a group discussion with many participants then sending the original video will allow the transcriber to see who is speaking. Tracking speakers is a much smoother process when you have the video track as a reference.
- You can include on-screen time code with your video. We will then use your time code track and print it onto the transcript as a reference. Alternatively you can put the time code information in the meta-data of the video which can also be used for transcription.
- No file conversion or compression necessary. You can take the file directly off of your hard drive and upload it to us without considering compression or file size.
