DIY tips for beginners (see below for advanced). Practically speaking, sometimes
if you persist to do somethng yourself it can take more time and cost you more money than paying the right person to do it. Who is that "right"
person, and how to make the best use of your time and money - that's where VerbatimIT comes into the picture. Regardless of whether you have
the skills to do transcription, VerbatimIT can help - to complement your skills, or just take on the job. If you do have those skills,
and take a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach in place of using contracted services, VerbatimIT can help. To achieve the best results with DIY projects relating to transcription, VerbatimIT can help those committed with DIY. That said, VerbatimIT may still be the best choice of people initially committed to DIY so they may stay focused on other priorities. Check out the complete database
of terms for use in your CAT system. You do have a computer-aided-transcription system, don't you? <<<work in progress...>>> Two issues: 1) mechanical and 2) psychological that amateurs transcribers may encounter Mechanical For
whatever reason you might decide to do the task of transcribing youself - sure! Go for it! Studies have shown that as the
subject of longevity is concerned, persons who keep their hands in motion, whether keyboardists of the piano or computer may
experience health benefits into their old age. So, whatever your reason, to: save money; gain experience; keep it private; prove a point -- whatever -- you may find as did I starting out in the 1970's that there has to be a better way than using a handheld recorder and manually starting.
Then typing, blah blah. It's too slow! Performing a job that would efficiently take only three hours took double that time. Short of a "sell" of professional services, at the very least,
the DIY-er is urged to obtain a foot pedal for whatever equipment they are using to minimize the wasted time in the Stop/Start
Stop/Start process. A service
such as VerbatimIT uses both digital or analog equipment to keep the process swift, productive and cost-efficient. Psychological It's often best when you write something to have another proof the work, rather than doing this yourself. Likewise,
when you are deeply immeshed in a particular subject, it may be best for you to contract part of the work to a professional
to permit you to have the time to focus on more important focii, more pressing matters. If you are "heavy" into your work, leave the importance and the
details of an interview transcript to VerbatimIT, because VerbatimIT can
save twice your time and money; once by the vast experience of VerbatimIT, and twice by
its system to transcribe the human voice. I have seen software packages come and go, and once knew a chiropractic who after trying an early version of a first-class software
told me he could type faster than the computer. LASTEDIT 20111122 1723GMT-5
If you would like more information - data - about how VerbtatimIT manages production transcripts be prepared to absorb
and analyze this: ... http://sites.google.com/site/verbatimitosc/ which is yours for the use but not abuse, i.e., do not reappropriate it for profit. The data is designed to make any production typing job easier, specifically within a
re-populate feature called AutoCorrect. Repopulated?
The AutoCorrect List as supplied by its host is pre-populated with a list of words. By studying this list I found it
more beneficial as a data set by deleting the entire list, and building my own list. After initially building and using this list, and growing it for a period of five years, it became a robust
compendium worthy of "taking on" anything - anything. This is why the motto of Verbatim Instant Transcripts
is... You said it. VerbatimIT. Read it today...
or sooner. Tens of thousands of common words and
phrases, and special glossaries in formal and informal English can all be rendered perfectly from any audio source. Intelligent use of the feature AutoCorrect can result in one's own
specialty typing becoming less drudgery and more easy every day. Tens of thousands
of entries VerbatimIT includes in the "vanilla"
database (absent of confidential list words) tens of thousands of entries, various words and their respective past, present,
and future tense affiliates. (see the database for more information). Voice recognition systems: This data is not best suited for voice-recognition systems. Learning curve: There is a learning curve to this system, but
it is in essence, easy. Your Mileage May Vary: the result
of using this system will vary, but you may type faster with 100% accurately all the time, with a side effect of less pain,
and more gain. To import this into your version
of a word processor you will need software, available at ... LASTEDIT 20100127 0553 GMT-5
