To date OutScribe has had a policy of not editing AI generated transcripts because they were so inaccurate it was actually quicker to transcribe from scratch.  With the improvement of AI technology we have now reviewed that policy and will edit reasonable quality transcripts. The usual $/min cost will be discounted once the quality of the transcript has been checked.  Microsoft Teams transcripts have been fairly good, with Zoom catching up quickly.

Changing up the office procedures and roles of your staff can open up a world of possibilities for your business.  Correspondence and document preparation are necessary tasks that often tie up the time of your staff who are better equipped for the more important things you need them to do.

Deciding which transcription service is best for you can be difficult and confusing but it’s worth taking the time to find the right transcription service. We have many clients who over the years have changed roles, organisations and even sectors yet continue to use us, so a little time investment up front pays off well into the future.

Technology and online platforms have allowed people to connect, if not in body, at least in spirit. 

The transcription industry is evolving and speech-to-text technology is improving all the time.  In some instances the result can be quite good - in some instances.

As the growing impacts of the Corona Virus (COVID-19) are being felt across the country and the world, businesses and organisations are no doubt reviewing their Risk Management Strategies to ensure that they are prepared to meet any demands.

There’s one question we consistently get asked and that’s, “what recorder do you recommend?” The answer we always give is that you and your recording technique are far more crucial to the quality of the final transcript than the actual recording device.

Even though we're a little tired of talking about the ATO we feel we need to keep clients informed.  In March of this year we reported that the Australian Taxation Office had committed to close our audit case and confirm that we are compliant with a contractor model.  We were later surprised by the ATO’s intention to launch a second audit to investigate our business model all over again, and investigate contractors and clients. Needless to say, we were strident in our objection, to put it mildly.

I would like to think that I’m not alone in my reticence to use a cliché or flog an already tired out phrase.  Yet here I am trying to put together a sentence which adequately conveys the message that OutScribe is moving forward, looking ahead and planning for the future without using the phrases moving forward, looking ahead and planning for the future.  So, let’s just run with it and wring the last vestige of meaning out of them.

The aroma, the perfect blend and barista expertise. You've managed to set up an interview time with that person who will propel your research forward.  Your questions have been finalised and you've checked your recorder and ensured it's fully charged.  All set?  Well nearly.  You need a central meeting location and you want to impress this important participant.  I get that.  But I can see that you're Googling for a CBD cafe that has good coffee reviews.  Take your hands off the keyboard and step back.  Trust me, you'll end up being very thankful you did.
