How do I make sure the transcriber understands the project requirements?
Provide a clear project brief. Describe the audio or video content and any special requirements. Set clear expectations for quality and deadlines. Ask them for a brief summary of what they need to do to ensure they got it right.
What should be included in the deliverables for a transcription project?
Include final transcripts in the desired format like Word or PDF files. Ensure time-stamping if required. List any formatting, style, or language specifics. Confirm that all parts of the audio are accurately transcribed.
What file formats should I use to share media files with a transcriber?
Use common formats like MP3 for audio and MP4 for video. Ensure they are high quality for clear audio. Compress large files if necessary but maintain quality. Check with the transcriber if they prefer specific formats.
How can I effectively communicate deadlines for transcription projects?
Clearly state the deadline date and time. Consider time zones to avoid confusion. Agree on a timeline for progress updates before the final deadline. Allow some buffer time for revisions if needed.
What kind of collaboration tools can help with transcription projects?
Use tools like Google Drive or Dropbox for file sharing. Email or chat platforms help with quick communications. Task management tools like Trello can track progress. Video conferencing can aid in live discussions.
How can I monitor the progress of my transcription project?
Request regular updates through emails or agreed platforms. Set milestones for parts of the project, like 'First 15 minutes transcribed by Friday.' Look for consistent communication to ensure everything is on track. Use project management tools if needed.
What factors should I consider for choosing a transcriber on Contra?
Review their past work and ratings on the platform. Verify their experience with similar types of content. Ensure they have good reviews for accuracy and deadlines. Check their communication responsiveness during initial talks.
How do I make sure my audio files are clear enough for transcription?
Ensure your recordings have minimal background noise. Use high-quality recording devices. Test a short piece and ask the transcriber if the clarity is adequate. Consider editing out unnecessary parts before sending.
What should I do to prepare content guidelines for the transcriber?
Define any must-use terminologies or industry-specific jargon. Provide examples of desired formatting such as timestamps or speaker labels. Clarify expectations for verbatim versus clean transcription. Ensure instructions are easy to follow.
