Hello. Greetings. So, what are you hoping that this exercise will illustrate?

This transcription
sample will give us an idea of your transcription skills, whether practiced, natural, or
burgeoning. Oh, I see.

What are these skills? We're looking for accuracy, even exactness of content that is spoken,
being reliably transposed into written form. Yes, transcription has a lot to do with type and
speed, but that's not all, and it is not as easy as ABC.

Sounds interesting, informative, and I want to learn more. Can you tell me? Certainly. First,
you have to be able to process the accents, dialects, speaking cadence of individuals in the
recording. Sometimes, even especially if the speaker isn't speaking in totally good grammar.

Alright. Second, one needs to discern the challenge of content, sometimes through contextual
clues or just connecting to what is going on. and sometimes with the help of outside
resources, such as those provided or through internet research.

If this statement is made, the non -circumstantial evidence will show that a 2003 Buick Excel
was stolen on the night of February 8th, 2000 in Poughkeepsie, New York, taken from the
Finston parking lot of Adams Farrick Farm off Douglas Turnpike.

All pieces of critical content, in this case, the proper nouns, have to be accurate in the
transcript, Just as they should be in this sample exercise. That is why there's extra time given
to you to complete this sample.

Even the exact spelling? Especially the exactly spelling. Even if you don't know the name or
term. If an attorney said I'm a Catholic and you couldn't understand her, but she also said
meeting friend of the court, it would be your job to get the term right.

Okay. A third ability needed is an ear that can be patient and tolerant, such as when there are
multiple speakers talking over one another, or recording device setting not functions.
Sunlight, speakers might sound like this, but we still need a capture of content.
Oh, I see. So there will be some replaying and even pausing. Yes, exactly. In our
transcription work, there are two different main styles. Strict verbatim and insurance, and
clean vervatim for legal work.

What is the difference if you don't mind me asking? I have a lot of questions all of a sudden,
and I sincerely hope that someone like you in your elevated and informed position and might
be able to help me understand what it is all about so I can do the best job possible with this
sample.

Sure. Strict verbatim is when you type every word and utterance a speaker makes. So when
like a, speaker talks like this, even the a is captured in the transcript. This is important in
insurance transcription because the transcription use can rely upon how an answer, a
statement was given, as well as its content.

Got it. Just type what you hear. Is it a hyphen for a false start of a word? I assume it's
followed by a comma, just as you would set off the a, right? Yes. Now, legal transcription, on
the other hand, is a formal representation of what happened in a proceeding and relies upon
the clarity of the facts unimpeded by the speaker articulation.

Very good to excellent use of English language as needed, including grammar and
punctuation. If you don't have a reliable foundation, you'll want to develop one. And there are
lots of free online websites that can help.

We suggest GrammarMonster .com and Chalkatoam. com as two good resources. So on this
sample, are you going to look at all this stuff? We sure are. Now, you have to be absolutely
perfect, but we do look for candidates who show that they understand what is expected.

I wish you good luck. Thank you for your time and effort. I'll do my best. Thank Thank you.
