Posts Tagged ‘Professional Transcribing’

Print mediums have guidelines and elements that should be followed in order to make things more legible and easier on the eyes for the individuals who are reading.  Even though some of these elements may have evolved over centuries, they are still very effective and should be followed should you wish to impact your readers.

1. Using “serif fonts” in the main body utilizes the human eyes ability to recognized the shape of words and not necessarily the letter by letter of each word. A serif font is a font that uses lines at the top and bottom of each letter to help guide the eye to each line easily and smoothly.  A san serif font usually forgoes that line and can be used for smaller areas of text such as headlines, bylines and picture captions. Excellent examples of good serif fonts are Garamond, Century Schoolbook or Bookman.
2. A “Lead-in” for the first paragraph of an article helps give a quick synopsis of what the article might be about, but also should be the ‘teaser’ that will get the reader to want to continue to read more.  Identify these first few lines with a subtle change in the font and layout so that it does stand out and leads the eye to it.
3. Avoid hyphenating words.  Using hyphens should be reserved for phone numbers in most instances and a few other rare  instances when it calls for last names and hyphenated combination words.  Breaking a word at a syllable usually can be avoided when playing with the leading and spacing of the lines.  This keeps the flow of the words and articles going smoothly for your readers.
4. Old habits are hard to break.  Including those that we had taught to us when the typewriter classes were taught to us in high school.  This includes the double spacing after periods and colons.  As a rule of thumb, any double spaces are now obsolete and professional typesetters don’t use them.
5. Full justification may look good but does make it harder to read.  Next time you get a chance, fully justify your article in your column layout and in turn look at the white ‘lanes’ of space that it creates.  This can be extremely distracting to the eye and also cause distortion of short words just to fill in the space of the line to even it up. Use left justification when you have long lines and be cautious in using full justification when you don’t absolutely need it.

All over the world we have over 6,500 language spoken.  Over 4,000 of those are used by millions.  However, 30 of these languages are predominately used today. English is only second to Mandarin Chinese.  Because of that, if you are using English, you are only exposing your words to only just a fraction of the worlds population because of no translation.

By transcribing your work, you will find that your ability to have your work translated might expose your knowledge, insight and education to thousands, even millions of others.

Dialects, phonetics, accents and so much more need to be taken into consideration when offering professional and accurate transcription.  A word out of place or a word misinterpreted and your element can be changed completely.  We want to make sure that doesn’t happen.  We take great care in making sure that your transcription is completely understandable in not only English but in any other language.

Transcribers have been used for years, from court reporting to doctors to attorneys and more.  But since transcribing has taken a back seat to those who are now more adept at typing themselves, things have changed over the years.  20 years ago, transcribing was done from a micro-cassette tape that was placed into a seperate machine called the dictaphone and then gradually played over time while the individual listening placed the recorded voice into a type written document.  Now, digital media, internet, email and video have all come into play their part in still what is a very lucrative service for those in hundreds of industries.

We, at ProTypists.com, have recognized that need, as well as the need for easy access, confidential services, reliable and of course, some of the quickest turn around times to receive your product.  Even with technology being what it is today, transcribing still needs to be done by a human that can determin the element, intent, as well as false starts and vertbatim conversations that automatic and audio recongition software just cannot offer.

We hope to be able to open up many money making endeavors, options and knowledge for everyone out there that feels that these services wouldn’t be needed or wanted.  We can point out just how valuable, educational and over all, rewarding the services we provide for those around in hundreds of industries around the world.
