GREEN DOG TRANSCRIPTIONS

Webcasts tend to be live but can be delayed broadcasts and are usually less 'concise' and less edited than a podcast. Typically adopted by news companies, television or radio programmes, webcasting is also used for broadcasting conferences and live debates, as well as in the commercial sector for presentations such as AGMs, or in teaching situations where lessons and seminars can be transmitted. Various terms have sprung up to describe webcasts of various forms, such as webisodes and webinars.

So why do you need webcast transcription services if you have the recording?

The contents of audio and video recordings on the Internet are not readily searchable and and, therefore, indexed by the search engines. This renders your webcast almost invisible. We can provide a transcript of excerpts or a full transcript which can be uploaded to the Internet alongside the recording. The transcript will then show up in the search engine results just like any other document or website, as well as be available to a more disadvantaged audience. The sound files can help the visually impaired while subtitles or a full transcript alongside the video can be very helpful to those with impaired hearing. Also, some people prefer to read content because it's quicker than trying to listen to an entire audio file.

We provide a free File Upload service for all digital recordings via our website to ensure prompt delivery to our transcription team. We can also download your audio sound files directly from your website if you prefer, or you can post CDs or DVDs.

 ALL RECORDINGS are listened to a second time and time stamped at inaudible points in transcriptions, Internet research is carried out to identify names or terminology, and all transcripts are proofread before being sent to clients. There is no extra charge for this service. Not all transcription companies do this - some don't even proofread so make sure you ask the right questions before choosing a service.
