8 Ways Transcribing Journals Can Make You Super Productive

Have you been journaling for years? Chances are you have lost track of the number of journals you’ve stored. People around the world keep a journal to document major events in their life, as well as the day-to-day happenings that may not seem important right now, but could be interesting to look back on later.

Most people document their memories by hand simply because it’s the easiest way to have a physical item you can look at later.

However, if your journals are all hand-written, you may want to consider transcription services for them. Using transcription services to turn your journals into typed documents and books can be very helpful, and it might even make you more productive.

Below, you’ll find 8 reasons you should consider hiring transcription services for your hand-written journals.

1. Your journals will be easier to read down the road. Handwriting often becomes illegible over time, especially if you use a basic fountain or ball point pen.

2. Transcription allows for posterity. Journal pages can be eaten away by time, and you don’t want your journals to suffer that harsh fate.

3. Journals that have been transcribed are easier to sort through. You can have transcription by date or time period so you have a clear document of your life.

4. You’ll be able to search journal entries once they are digitized. This is particularly helpful if you’re looking for a certain time in your life or you’re writing a memoir.

5. You will be able to make the documents that make up your journal password-protected. Unless you have a big locked safe, you won’t be able to do that with real paper journals.

6. Your journals will be protected from anything that can go wrong. Remember, a fire, flood or earthquake could easily destroy your journals, making them no longer accessible to you. Transcribe and back them up.

7. You can clear some space on your shelves. Once transcribed, you can store your original hard copy journals anywhere or simply get rid of them.

8. Transcription can help you complete a memoir. Seeing your words in text like you’re reading them for the first time can really put events in perspective.
