What different types of transcription exist?
Noota breaks down verbatim, clean, and synthesized transcription types. Find the right transcription method for your needs with our guide.
In this article, we will present to you the different types of transcription to help you have a clearer understanding among the range of solutions available to you!
1. Transcription with digital dictation 🗣
Most commonly used by doctors, lawyers, or bailiffs, digital dictation involves recording oneself on an audio tape with a speech rate often slower than normal.
A dictaphone is usually used for digital dictation.
2. Full audio transcription or verbatim 📲
As the name suggests, this transcription technique converts all the words and sounds spoken during the recording into text. Therefore, it includes laughter, repetitions, syntax errors, and interjections
The advantage of this transcription is that it takes into account the context in which the recording took place.
3. Clean full transcription 🔍
On the other hand, clean full transcription takes into account all the words spoken but, unlike verbatim transcription, eliminates laughter, repetitions, syntax errors, and interjections.
It is commonly used in seminars, council meetings, conferences, or meetings.
4. Reformulated audio transcription 💡
This transcription follows the principles of full audio transcription but allows for the correction of syntax errors.
Only the main viewpoints are expressed, while important quotes can be preserved as they are.
5. Synthesized audio transcription 🎯
In contrast to the previously mentioned techniques, synthesized audio transcription does not include all the words spoken during the recording. It provides a summary of the exchanges, retaining only the most important elements.
The challenge of this transcription lies in the fact that the transcriber must not distort the speakers' statements; they need to remain objective without modifying the interlocutors' words to suit their own preferences. Attention to detail, analytical skills, and rigor are required.
