Transcription

Gone are the days of low quality, distorted and muffled recordings on analogue tapes that were always in danger of being chewed up.

Digital recordings offer you crystal clear audio, and our stereo recordings can aid transcription as each person’s speech will be more prominent in one channel than in the other where microphones have been placed appropriately.

AIRPlayer is our PC software designed specifically for use with discs recorded on One Digital AIR & AIRLight recorders, and is our recommended solution for transcribing from standalone systems.

A basic, 'Light' version of the software is present on every disc produced on the AIR & AIRLight recorders, which serves as a convenient playback application, displaying all related start, stop and pause times, with no need to install the software.

Purchasing the licensed version of the software, which is supplied as a full kit with stereo headset and USB foot pedal, adds a host of additional features for transcribing purposes:-

Compact view
Individual channel volume controls
Playback speed control - no change made to pitch of speech
Support for supplied foot pedal
User definable global hotkey for play/pause

For the transcription of video interviews recorded in DVD Video format, we can supply ELPedium’s ROVI software. This has been proven compatible with competitor’s video that other transcription software has not been able to control. Contact us to see if it will work with your existing video interviews.

Networked Transcription

We can also provide transcription solutions for larger requirements, which incorporate assigning particular jobs to specific typists or groups of typists with the relevant clearance.

ELPedium

ELPedium’s RODI (previously ROTI) transcription system optimises the transcription process for typists.

Using a full workflow system, metadata can be recorded against an interview when it is first initialised, and when a recording arrives in the typists’ pool form the One Digital recorder, associated metadata will still be present.

When the interview is then opened for transcription, a custom template is opened to transcribe into, and as much data as possible is automatically entered in to the template before the transcriber even begins typing. Thus includes start and end times of the interview, interview location, and all names of persons present.

A foot pedal can then be used to playback the recording, and shortcut keys will enter in the current playback time of the recording, interviewer name and interviewee name, meaning that a mouse is rarely required and the typists is left doing only what they do best.
