TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES FOR STUDENTS

The increasing affordability of audio recording and related technology has brought enormous opportunities for today’s students. Transcripts of recorded classroom lectures and focus group discussions can be invaluable assets to university students. Transcribing classroom sessions is particularly useful for people with hearing disabilities, as well as those with visual, physical or learning difficulties. Classroom lecture transcription also frees students from note-taking, allowing them to concentrate on listening and class participation.

We make a point of fulfilling the transcription needs of students. More specifically, we are able to assist students with:

Lecture Transcription : Students are increasingly recording academic lectures, speeches and presentations, preferring to rely on our accurate lecture transcripts of these recordings as study tools rather than on their scribbled notes.

Interview Transcription : We have transcribed many research interviews for students (post-graduate business students interviewing colleagues in their own industries or hospital researchers carrying out patient interviews, for example).

Focus Group Transcription : We have years of experience in transcribing focus groups and meetings, as well as roundtable type discussions.

Real Time Educational Transcription : We provide students with real time education transcription services. This special service is aimed primarily at students with hearing disabilities. Computer Aided Real Time (CART) reporters, or trained court stenographers, use a computer program that translates steno into written English using a steno machine and a laptop computer. Students can read the verbatim transcript of the lecture on their laptops as it is being given in class. Institutions who are interested in providing this service to their students should conduct lectures with professors speaking through microphones.

Non-Real Time Educational Transcription : We can also provide ‘meaning-for-meaning’ transcription, rather than verbatim transcription. This means we transcribe the meaning of the recordings, suitably summarizing the content. The transcript will include non-verbal data that have special connotations, like facial expressions or stresses on certain words by the speaker.

Note Taking Services : It is possible to arrange for a note-taker to attend class and assist student(s) to take notes, but only with the professor’s and educational institution’s official approval. The note taker then produces an edited transcript of the class or course, which is emailed to the client. This type of transcription service is particularly useful to hearing disabled students, English language learners and students in particularly challenging classes.

At Transcription Company.Co.UK, we understand that students are operating under tight budgets, but need excellent quality transcription services. Digital recorders are becoming more affordable all the time, and even an MP3 recorder, when used with an external microphone, can produce a good quality recording. There is no reason why students should not receive the same quality service we provide all our clients and upon which we have built our reputation as a transcription service provider.
