Did you know that the average typing speed for a person is about 40 words per minute? At that rate, you’re making progress of about 200 characters during that same 60-second timeframe. Having the ability to type faster isn’t as hard as one might think, however. At one point in their lives, all of our expert transcriptionists were mere average typists…
You might think a transcriber’s age has nothing to do with the quality of their work output. After all, how difficult can it be to listen to an audio and key in what’s heard, word for word?

Obviously, transcription services cater for those who require conversion of voice data to text data – that is transcription service at its most elementary level.

Feet would sit perched on a big, flat, foot pedal with more cabling connected to a dictation device containing an audio tape. The transcriber would wind forward and back by pressing a foot pedal listening to the audio while typing onto a keyboard with keys the size of typewriter buttons. Those good old days were only 10 years ago!
