The transcription itself is quite easy if it is broken down according to its main purpose. You write what people say. Yes, it is more complicated if you do it personally. There are a variety of problems you may encounter while traveling, some of which you may have already encountered. One of the problems I will identify concerns a speaker who has a different accent from his or someone else's.
This blog post covers:
- Slows down the language
- Listen to the file several times
- Strongly accented language file
- The Golden rule
- Slows down the language
Some of the easy suggestions I can make to a new or old transcriber are to slow down the language.
This can solve a number of problems when you try to edit a difficult audio file, the audio itself is clear, or you don't have English as the first language.
Delaying the tongue can be useful in several ways.
- First, slowing down the language can help you hear the pronunciation of the syllables of the words they say.
- Second, slowing your tongue can sometimes help you hear background noise. However, some playback programs can help eliminate background noise. Express conference transcription services is an example.
- Although it may take a small longer to finish a file by slowing it down so you can understand a strong accent, the harder or harder a speaker is, the greater the payment will be.
- Usually, working with a non-native English speaker pays a little more than a general file with native speakers.
Getting used to different accents is a unique way to earn more money.
- Personally, I like to work with the speakers. I love hearing the different accents from all over the world that I would normally or never hear without my work as a transcriber.
- Sometimes it can be a mystery to know what they say, but I love this challenge, it makes it exciting, and I enjoy it.
- And I discovered that people with a completely different accent from mine generally talk about some of the most interesting things!
Listen to the file several times
- Another thing I would suggest when dealing with a pointed speaker is to listen to a short part of the file several times at normal speed.
- After listening to the speaker several times, you can hear how they are emphasized and how they form words, which makes it easier to understand during transcription.
- When you transcribe a long file, you can understand it the more you modify it, which makes it easier to create longer files.
- When I started Legal transcription services, it was difficult for me to understand the accents. I was not very social, I would say.
- I had almost never heard anyone with an accent that was not the same or similar to mine. Perhaps it would have been more difficult for me to decipher a strong accent than most.
- I listened to the speaker and said some prayers to get used to his accent.
- I listened at full speed once or twice, then lowered the sound to 60% and began transcribing.
- There were times when I couldn't know what they were saying, and I had to call it inaudible, but generally, a customer will understand.
Strongly accented language file
- Another little tip I found to understand accents is to look for an accent file.
- Some universities have created a large database with different accents from around the world.
- The university supervisor asks the respondent a series of 10 basic questions—generally short answer for the first couple.
- The other half is longer and requires the speaker to speak more to help the study identify the different pronunciations of the words, to identify the different dialects.
- It is actually quite interesting and very funny. Even if you don't care about accents, it's definitely a good read and fun to listen to different people!
- The file is quite simple, and most are very easy to find. You can choose any country, and this allows you to choose between different regions.
- Simply ask your client from which country it comes from. This allows you to reduce accents and identify specific words that differ significantly.
