People have less and less time. Have you ever sat down at your desk first thing in the morning and write yourself a long list of things you need to do that day? I often find that I never manage to finish my list by home time. The same is true for all businesses; deadlines are often broken with not enough time to get jobs completed. In a world where time is so valuable, it can be a great advantage to have an extra pair of hands. This is where the services of a digital transcription company can come in really useful.

Digital audio transcription is the process of converting digital audio files into transcripts for companies without the time of manpower to do so. The companies using the service can vary widely, from medical to law, building to insurance, entertainment to IT, the list goes on and on. By saving yourself time with outsourcing your digital audio transcriptions to a professional transcription company you will be free to do other things like finish off that list of things to do.

Digital transcription has certain types of files which are used in the process. These files vary and can consist of the following.

1) WAV – Also known as WAVE files. One of the first audio files developed for use with the PC. The problem with these files is that it is very large, which is not so much of a problem with broadband speeds, but this file is not used so much as a consequence.

2) MP3 – Compressed WAV file often used in music. A lot of digital recorders allow you to record in MP3 format as well. The WAV file can be shrunk down to 12th of its original size.

3) WMA – Windows Media Audio files. These files were developed for Windows Media Player, which comes with all Windows based PCs. These files are even more compressed than an MP3 – about one 36th of the size of a WAV file.

The types of transcriptions which will come on these formats can range from Police interviews to teleconferences and everything in-between.
