Transcription of Recorded Media
|
Standard, mini, or micro cassette audiotapes; videotapes; and digital files such as .wav, .MP3, True Speech, Vox, and others. Interviews of all kinds, including oral history, family history, and research; personal journals; corporate histories; conference or seminar speakers; radio and television broadcasts; book manuscripts; magazine articles.
Spellings are researched using reference materials such as specialized dictionaries, atlases, encyclopedias, and the Internet. We pay close attention to homonyms, and judge from the context which is the correct word to use (i.e., there, their, they're). We also listen carefully to determine exactly what a speaker is saying (i.e., "recognize speech," or "wreck a nice beach.") We catch mistakes that spell check does not, such as "John Doe is now graduating," rather than "not graduating." The words do not flow in our ears, down our arms, and out our fingers--we participate intellectually in the interview, devoting our entire attention to accuracy of transcription.
All documents are proofed twice: once with the recording to ensure no words were left out, added, or misheard; and a second time without the recording to ensure the punctuation accurately reflects the intention of the speakers. "Woman without her man is lost," takes on a vastly different connotation when punctuated, "Woman: without her, man is lost."

Your documents can be checked for spelling, punctuation, grammar, and content. Indexing is also available.
Compiling your family history or genealogy? Interview your relatives to learn of their experiences in life, have the recordings transcribed by our service, and then edited into a smooth-flowing and readable narrative.
Hesitant to do the interviewing yourself? We can provide you with guidelines and sample questions, and also put you in touch with professional oral historians to assist you.
