The ‘essentials’ for a perfect video transcript

Apart from audio transcriptions, video transcription services are also offered by the highly proficient and veteran and versatile audio and video transcribers. Audio transcription is very general but video transcription is still not that common in the domain. There are certain “essentials” for a perfect video transcript which are as follows:-

VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION OF NOISY PANEL DEBATES
Transcribing a full fledged panel discussion or a debate is the most difficult assignment a transcriber can ever do. It’s known as a cumbersome assignment because you have at least five or five plus main speakers and an audience chipping in with their comments. Unfortunately, if it comes out as an animated discussion then this complicated task turns into an onerous task.

ALL SPEAKERS COVERED IN THE TRANSCRIPT
Its mandatory to cover all the speakers in a transcript. Once a transcript is done, it has to get cross checked against the video in account to ensure that the transcriber has included all the speakers in the same.

SEPARATE AUDIO FOR VIDEO PROGRAMS
For sheer accuracy in the transcript, most of the video companies create a separate audio track for the related video. This saves a lot of time and consequently the transcript can be delivered in a quick turnaround time.

PRECISE DETAILS OF THE TRANSCRIPT
While briefing the project, a client must give proper instructions to the transcribers maintaining the transparency. Each and every requirement should be told to the transcriptionist before he starts off with the transcription process.

NAME SPEAKERS IN THE TRANSCRIPT
It actually depends on the client whether he wants the transcriber to identity the speakers by their names in the transcript or not.
