It's widely known that the accuracy level of automated transcription isn't great.
Also, the quality of the transcript decreases when there's background noise, multiple speakers, or accents in the audio.
Therefore, for the most accurate transcripts, it's very important to look for a service provider that provides human-based transcription services.
Take note that many low-cost transcription companies use transcription software, which when compared to human-based transcription, results in lower-quality work.
GMR Transcription wants you to be satisfied with your transcripts. That's why we the company guarantee 99% accuracy for good quality audios that their transcribers don't deem as difficult.
In the rare case that a transcript is less than 99% accurate for good-quality audio, our transcriptionists will redo it at no extra charge.
All transcripts are subjected to two levels of proofreading. The typists at GMR Transcription are U.S. based and are familiar with accents.
They are able to meet strict guidelines for the accuracy and turnaround times of transcripts.
This is especially important if you frequently have larger projects. You need to make sure that the transcription company you choose is able to handle differently-sized assignments.
It is recommended that the transcription company have an in-house project management team to address your needs directly.
We have a large pool of transcriptionists that can handle projects of any size.
However, please be advised that we may need extra time to organize for transcription work of over 10 hours which requires a very short turnaround time.
Most transcription companies have moved towards automated technology in order to gain a competitive cost advantage and maximize profits.
However, this has come at the expense of accuracy. Outsourcing of transcription work to overseas countries has also become a common trend in the transcription industry.
GMR Transcriptionists are based in the US and Canada. We only hire native English-speaking transcriptionists from the US and Canada.
They have a much better understanding of the nuances of English, including local content and context.
This ensures that we are always able to meet our transcription quality benchmarks.
Selecting a good Transcription service is important in creating a long-term, positive impact on your business.
