What Exactly Is Transcription ?

"What is transcription?" is a question I am constantly asked when I meet people. So I thought I would blog the answer.

Essentially it is the transcription of spoken word to text. Sounds simple?

Recording it clearly is handled by our sister company Dictate Australia Pty Ltd advise and supply the best quality digital voice recorders in Australia from Olympus and Philips.
