The Transcription Blog

A transcriptionist’s main goal is to provide their employer or their client with the most accurate and professional document possible.  This can be achieved by listening and re-listening to a dictation, proofreading, quality checking…….  The list can go on and on. But what can be done while recording the dictation to help increase accuracy.  Here are some tips for recording a good dictation:

1.  Organize your data before you start recording.

2.  Dictate in a quiet area, with no distractions.

3.  Speak clearly.

4.  Don’t rush.  Dictate at an even pace and speak clearly.

5.  Don’t use abbreviations unless stating what it stands for at least once in the report.

These are just a few tips, there are many more depending on the industry you are working in.  The most important tip would be to work with your transcriptionist so that there is a clear understanding of what is expected so that your documents will be completed to the highest of standards.
