Outsource Audio Tape Transcription to India

The Internet has made it possible to send audio files to India and have them transcribed and returned within 24 hours. This is exactly what is happening when hospitals send their medical transcription to India. And because India is working when America is sleeping the text file is ready the next morning.

Potential

• Audio transcription started first with medical transcription but it will not be long before many other industries will be doing the same. For example here are a few other areas where audio can be transcribed in India.
• American TV shows for transcription for the hearing impared
• Film editors need to see text of the audio during editing.
• Seminar speeches are transcribed for publishing

Possible Problems

• Keep in mind that many Indians speak English as either a first or second language. There will, however, be minor problems in understanding accents or slang. However, transcriptionists are professionally trained to master the nuances of different accents.
