TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES
CLEAN VERSUS VERBATIM
There are two main styles of transcription used in interviews and qualitative research:
Clean verbatim (also called intelligent verbatim or non-verbatim).
True verbatim (also called strict verbatim, or simply “verbatim”).
A clean verbatim transcript is a lightly edited version of the original audio. Typically, the following elements are removed:
Stutters
Filler speech, including “um,” “uh,” etc.
Most non-speech sounds, including coughing and throat clearing
False starts
A true verbatim transcript, on the other hand, attempts to capture every utterance of the speakers. These include stutters, meaningless filler speech, and false starts. Verbatim style may also include non-speech and background sounds, such as coughing and sneezing or a door closing.
While each transcription style is useful under certain circumstances, clean verbatim is used most often because the transcripts cost less and are easier to read.
However, true verbatim may be desirable for certain qualitative and market research projects and legal investigations, where it’s necessary to study not only what was said, but also the manner in which something was said.
MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION
Being an MT is most likely my "favorite" job as a transcriber. WHY? I have a real deep passion about medical related stuff. I grew up in a family where almost all of them are into medical related courses. We got doctors, nurses, dentists, and me as a Physiotherapist.
I love transcribing medical reports not just for the job but also because I get to learn more about different things like diagnoses, diseases, impairments, and programs that are new to me. And if given the chance by the client, it would be a pleasure to give recommendations regarding the program of the patient.
So... what is an MT? Medical transcription (MT) is the manual processing of voice reports dictated by physicians and other healthcare professionals into text format.
