Transcription is the process of translating speech or sound files into a written form or text document.A good transcribist should be multitasking, able to find information and quickly type without mistakes. If you practice with passion, learn how to quickly transcribe in the shortest possible time.

Steps

1. 1 Focus on your work. A very effective method to speed up decryption is to focus on the task at hand. Once you get together, you will increase the quality and speed of decryption, and less time will be spent on proofreading.
2. 2 Get a quality stereo headset. A good headset will provide clear sound and speech is easy to understand, even if the speakers are noisy. You don't have to rewind over and over again trying to make out incomprehensible words. A high-quality headset costs about $ 20 at any radio parts store or mall.
3. 3 Work in a supportive environment. In a quiet environment (preferably in a separate room), it will be easier to make out the sound.
4. 4 Use tools such as auto-correction in Microsoft Word or QuickCorrect in Word Perfect. They will help to reduce the number of typos, therefore, increasing the speed and accuracy of decryption.
5. 5 Change a few templates to suit you. Templates are very useful if you frequently transcribe medical or legal files. This saves the time it takes to create documents of a similar format.
6. 6 Find a good transcription program. In a convenient program, you can pause, rewind and speed up the audio at your own discretion, using the so-called "hot keys".
7. 7 Learn to type quickly. Mastering typing takes time and practice. To print quickly and without errors, it is recommended to take a special training course.

Tips

• It usually takes 3-4 hours to transcribe audio, which lasts an hour. It takes even the best transcribers at least 3 hours to transcribe an hour of audio without sacrificing quality and accuracy.
