HOW TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY:

 

Small business owners and independent professionals could save time and money by practicing their dictation techniques.

 

If dictation is recorded correctly it will speed up the transcriber and will reduce the cost of the finished transcript to you and your business. 

 

Tips for good dictation

 

ˇ     Prepare an outline draft of what you would like to say and record 

 

ˇ     Use a digital recorder.  Digital recorders produce better quality recordings

 

ˇ     Preferably use an external microphone attached to your recorder 

 

ˇ     Ensure your recorder is switched on

 

ˇ     Modulate your voice as if you were speaking directly to a coleague or friend

 

ˇ     Speak clearly spelling out any difficult words, place names, peoples names,  and special terminology

 

ˇ     Once you are happy with your recording download it onto your pc 

  

ˇ     E-mail your digital recordings to your chosen transcriber
