Logging Raw Tape
After a full day of interviews, it's very important to carefully document what you've recorded, but who has time to type out transcripts?
Why transcribe audio to text?
Even though it's fast and cheap, that doesn't mean it's worth doing.
Here are some things to consider:
Faster Editing
Find clips instantly, instead of wasting time searching though hours of footage. Avoid frustration. Focus on editing your story.
Better SEO
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is all about making your content easy to find. Audio is not search-engine friendly
(but text transcripts are).
Find Later
It's not hard to recall what you recorded 3 days ago, but how about 3 years ago? Text transcripts are an investment in being able to find things in the future.
Closed Captioning
Make your audio accessible to people who are hearing-impaired. Please note that our transcripts are about 90% accurate and require editing to be perfect.
Broaden Your Audience
Instead of forcing audiences to either "listen or leave," text transcripts enable people to also read or skim your content. This helps with comprehension and when sound is prohibited
* Great for interviews, speeches, news conferences, and more.
