Video Transcription Pitfalls

NO DEVELOPED SYSTEM

• 1

• One common mistake in video translation is not
  having a proper system to accomplish it. To be
  fast and accurate, one must first develop a
  strategy a plan of action to achieve the goal.
  You must come up with an organized series of
  steps that best works for you.

NOT PRACTICING ON TYPING SPEED AND ACCURACY

• 2

• Practice makes perfect. Without mastering your
  typing speed and accuracy, your video translation
  might fail. The faster you are able to type,
  without making mistakes, the more video files you
  can transcribe in one day.

WORKING IN A BUSY AREA

• 3

• Video transcription requires concentration
  therefore it is best to work in a quiet and
  secluded area. Even the slightest distractions
  can cause delay and mistakes in transcribing.
  Remember, small distractions can cause big
  consequences.

USING FAULTY HEADPHONES

• 4

• In doing your video to text transcription, a good
  set of headphones can make a big difference.
  Also, accuracy depends on how well you hear the
  recording, so clean up your recording and
  eliminate any background noise by using a
  software program.

FAILING TO PROOFREAD

• This is a common mistake in video transcription.
  When youre finished with your video to
  transcript output, make sure to double check and
  proofreading everything, from typos to
  grammatical errors. Clean-up and correct grammar
  usage so that the transcript reads well. Keep in
  mind that typos are embarrassing.

FORGETTING TO OMIT

• 6

• When doing video to text transcription, remember
  to omit filler words and phrases such as um,
  so then, lets see here, and the like. Omit
  anything gibberish or that does not make sense.
  Use your best judgment and make sure you have a
  strong reason in omitting something.

8
NOT SAVING FREQUENTLY

• 7

• When transcribing from video to transcript ,
  forgetting to save your work frequently may be
  detrimental. Saving frequently will help prevent
  the loss of any work done once anything
  unexpected happens.

NO EXPOSURE TO DIFFERENT ACCENTS

• 8

• Video transcription becomes more difficult if the
  speaker has thick accents. Exposing yourself to
  different accents will help a lot. A great way
  for understanding accents is slowing down the
  audio using a software program available online
  that allows you to control the speed of the audio
  you're transcribing. Likewise, you can use
  context clues to try to determine what the
  speaker is saying so transcribing will be easier.
