FAQs

If I ask for a segment of the transcript read back, how does this occur?

The reporter uses a find feature on the software program to locate a particular word
or sentence, and can then link the room audio of these words and play the segment
back, or simply read from the computer screen.  All this can happen within a
matter of minutes.

Are you cost competitive with audio tape recording?

Yes, voice writing is very competitive. Why? Because voice writing is a
one-stop-shop.  All the necessary editing of the transcript to verify it is
100% accurate can be done on site, or at a remote location, using
the same software that produced the transcript.  The system (1)
produces the transcript at the time the words are spoken; and (2)
digitally records the meeting.  Because there are no third party
typists and other overheads involved, costs can be kept very competitive. 

If I had difficulty understanding English being spoken, but could read
it well, could voice writing help?

Yes. Because the transcript is being produced at the time, you can read it to
assist you to better understand what is being said. 

Why would I use Transcripts Plus?

The benefits to you, as the client, are overwhelming.  Simply stated, they
include: lower overall costs as our system is all-in-one and does not involve
additional third party staff; the ability to produce a draft transcript seconds
after the words are spoken; the ability to play back any segment of the
room audio or read back the transcript straight away; the ability to provide
you with a draft transcript after the meeting (at an additional cost) to take
away, prior to the production of the final, edited transcript; the ability to move equipment from location to location within minutes.  In addition, extraneous noises are eliminated from the voice record of the meeting because the silencer mask acts as a mini sound booth.  We do not simply record sounds, we actually produce what you want – a transcript - at the time the words are being spoken.
