How is Academiascript different?

Most recordings produced for transcription worldwide are clear single-speaker dictations, and most transcription companies are geared to process only straightforward work such as that. However many recordings types are often much more challenging. They can contain multiple speakers, with a wide variety of different accents. If recorded in the field or in a work environment, they are often unclear. The vocabulary can be sophisticated and technical. Most transcription companies will either refuse this work or will accept it but when transcribing it will rush past any phrases they cannot make out at first hearing and claim they were "impossible to transcribe".

Academiascript was established precisely to work with this more challenging material. A demanding entrance test and rigorous training programme ensure that only well-educated and well-read transcribers join the company. There is a careful ongoing quality control process, with constructive feedback for all staff.  Therefore, if your recordings are of a more challenging nature than easy and clear non-technical solo dictation, you may expect better and more comprehensive transcripts from Academiascript.

Unlike many companies, Academiascript never outsources, as this results in a loss of control over quality.
