Transcription guidelines?

Hi Monica,

There is a form in the Document library that I believe will help you with your questions as well as assist you in your client intake for transcription work.

All the best,
Andrea

For years I tried to find a "proper" format for transcription that is NOT legal or medical (since I do not transcript in those fields) and never found one "right" one. I picked one that made sense to me and offer it as a sample to my clients. I tell them if they would prefer something different to please let me know. Most of the time they stick with the format I've presented, but some have asked for minor changes to suit their needs, which I am happy to do.

I provide transcription services to pastors. When I started, they gave me the template they wanted me to use. Most often, their transcription was being used to create books. I haven't done it in a while, but I really enjoyed it!!! I wanted to also provide transcription for attorneys and others, but just never had an opportunity come about.

Most companies/individuals that need general transcription will have their own guidelines for formatting to go by and would provide them to you. They will also let you now what word processing program (and version) they require.

Here's a great VA site that offers information on transcription: http://www.virtual-assistant-advice....uidelines.html

This is a great site for transcription guidelines and other stuff.

Thanks a lot !!

This are all wonderful suggestions. I've considering adding transcription to my services, but only Spanish and this is a great place to start.

Thanks for the link, I found a lot of useful information on that site
