Professional video transcription<\/strong> isn’t what it used to be. \u00a0No longer do you have to send tapes or DVDs off to a professional transcriptionist only to wait a week or two to get a digital or paper transcription back. \u00a0If you’re still working under this prehistoric method, take a look at these 3 online services<\/strong> that’ll get your video transcribed in a matter of hours – not weeks. \u00a0Discover how having a professional transcription created for your footage or final video can speed up your post production<\/strong> and give added value to your final product.<\/p>\n

Pro Video Transcription for Video Editors<\/h3>\n

Blog friends SpliceVine.com<\/a> recently\u00a0tipped us off to a new transcription service called VerbalInk.com<\/a> (read that post here<\/a>). \u00a0That got us thinking about the other options for transcription services<\/strong> and how many video editors<\/strong> may not even know they exist. \u00a0Although there are some software options that attempt to ‘transcribe on the fly’ (like Adobe’s Speech Analysis<\/a>) these software options just cannot give as accurate a result as a trained human transcriptionist. \u00a0Especially with video, different shooting\u00a0situations\u00a0and mic setups may not provide optimal audio, so it’s going to take human intelligence to determine exactly what is being said and by whom.<\/p>\n

Having your videos transcribed<\/strong> is important not just good for improving post production<\/strong> (creating paper edits and quickly being able to locate soundbites), but also has positive impacts on final distribution. \u00a0If you’re going to post your video work online, a transcribed video<\/strong> will mean better search engine visibility (Google can’t discern what is being talked about in video) and a better experience for an audience that prefers to follow along with a written version (training videos & tutorials especially).<\/p>\n

Whether you’re a video editor, producer or in-charge of distribution, discover the value of having your footage or final video transcribed using low cost online services. \u00a0If your time is worth money, the following options could basically be considered free!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speechpad<\/a> Video Transcription<\/h3>\n

\"SpeechPad<\/a><\/p>\n

Speechpad<\/a> is the most popular online transcription service on the list. \u00a0The ability to upload or link to a variety of file types and websites make it a good choice for video editors<\/strong>. \u00a0For instance, you can include a link to your Vimeo or YouTube video page and the transcription will be made based on that. \u00a0Add timestamping to the video for an additional .25 cents a minute (important for making those paper edits). \u00a0We use SpeechPad for the transcription of the Premiumbeat video tutorials<\/strong> and have had good experience. \u00a0100% moneyback guarantee.<\/p>\n
