The Future of Transcription: Exploring Emerging Trends

 


After a little research, I found that there are three primary things that are trending in the transcription industry:

1. Academic Transcription
Academic transcription is in higher demand primarily because of the increase in technology. More and more classes and meetings are held virtually.

3. Artificial Intelligence
AI makes transcribing a lot easier. The only problem is that it is not always accurate. A lot of transcriptionists will use AI to transcribe things quickly and then proofread what was automatically written while listening to the audio.

From Audio to Text: The Transcription Process

 When I started learning to transcribe, I thought it would be very easy. In some ways, it is. But there were also some very challenging aspects of transcription. My biggest struggle while learning was mastering grammar and punctuation. Grammar has never been my strong suit, but I had to master it to become a transcriptionist! So, I studied hard and worked through it. Besides having to have a strong grasp of the English language and all of its intricate grammar rules, the transcribing process is actually quite simple.  When I get an audio file, I download it into my "dictation files" folder then upload it to Express Scribe. Express Scribe is a transcription software that you can download to your laptop or computer to make transcribing easier. Through this software, you can plug a pedal into your laptop and use it to easily pause, play, fast forward, or rewind the audio.

Promoting Wellness at Your Home-Based Job

 Sitting in one place for an extended amount of time can be hard on your body. Your eyes get strained, your muscles get stiff, and it can become difficult to focus if you don't prioritize breaks. Here are some tips to help your general well-being while you work at your in-home office job: 1. Take frequent breaks (pomodoro technique). I personally enjoy using what is called a pomodoro timer. If you are not familiar with that, this is how it works: You set a timer for 25 minutes for whatever task you are doing and work on it with your full concentration for that amount of time. After the 25-minute timer goes off, you take a 5-minute break. After you complete four different 25-minute sessions with 5-minute breaks in between, you take a longer break that is about 15-30 minutes. If you enjoy lo-fi music, I recommend this video that incorporates the pomodoro technique:  Lofi Girl Pomodoro Timer 2. Stretch during your breaks.
