Where only one person's voice appears on a recording, we have our single voice legal transcription service.

Zoom Meeting Transcription

What is Zoom?

Zoom is a video conferencing tool that allows users to meet online. Zoom users can choose to record sessions, collaborate on projects, and share or annotate on one another's screens. Zoom does have an option for meetings to be transcribed by speech-to-text software, however, the quality of these transcripts can be quite low and inaccurate, which is why most legal practices ask us to transcribe these from recordings.

How to Record a Zoom Meeting to Enable it to be Uploaded to Us Securely For Transcription Purposes

In order to record a meeting in Zoom you need to be a host. If you are not a host, you will need to speak with the host and ask them to record the meeting and send you a copy once the meeting has ended.

For details on how to record a Zoom meeting please see this useful video below.

How to Download a Zoom Meeting

Microsoft Teams Meeting Transcription

Multi Voice Audio & Video Recording Transcript Types

There are various ways we can transcribe multi-voice legal audio recordings to create a transcript. These are all listed below:

Meeting Minutes

This is the option when you require a concise record of a meeting, Some examples of where this might be useful include minutes of management team meetings, partnership meetings, board meetings or trustee meetings. This enables an accurate, impartial third-party record of the main discussion points, decisions and actions which can remove any minuting bias.

OutSec Legal also offer a live minuting service, so one of OutSec Legal's Minutetakers can attend your remote online meeting and take minutes for you directly.

Intelligent Verbatim Transcript

This option enables OutSec Legal transcriptionists to take a common-sense approach filtering out words not relevant to the subject matter, such as all “umms”, “ahhs”, laughter and pauses. As a result, an “intelligent “ transcript is provided.. This is the most commonly requested type of multi-voice transcript.

Edited Transcript

This is a full and accurate transcript that has been formalised. Often used by law lecturers or conference organisers it is edited for readability and clarity. In other words, a clear and easy-to-read transcript appropriate for B2B communications and publishing houses (particularly academic reports).

Verbatim Transcript

Verbatim, meaning ‘word for word’, this includes every utterance, cough, pause, umms, ahhs, unfinished sentences, as well as stutters and stammers. In other words, it is a 100% accurate record of what was said.

Transcript with Time Coded or Time Stamped Text

Time stamping or time coding is inserting the time in hours, minutes and seconds into a transcript at specific intervals. It works as a marker of where particular text can be found in digital audio or video recordings. This can be useful for surveillance recordings, educational or training audio or video recordings, where you may need someone to listen or view a recording whilst reading text from a transcript. Time coding can also be a precursor for subtitling especially if you are thinking of having the subtitles translated.

Additional Video Services

In addition to offering the above transcript services for video content, we also offer subtitling and closed captioning services for video content.

What is the Difference Between Subtitles and Closed Captions?

Closed captioning helps people with hearing problems understand video content and is intended for times when the entire audio component cannot be heard by the viewer.

This differs from subtitling, whose purpose is to aid those who have trouble with accents when viewing video content or for those who do not understand the audio language.

Why Should I Have My Podcast, Webcast or Online Training Resources or Video Content Transcribed?

There are three key benefits to getting your podcast transcribed. These include:

Accessibility

Having your podcast professionally transcribed means it widens its accessibility to others. After all, not everyone has time to listen to podcasts. Some do not like podcasts either. So having a transcript allows you to have options and different pathways for you to grow your audience. It enables you to create new or different content to support the podcast on social media.

According to the World Health Organisation, more than 1.5 billion worldwide suffer from some form of hearing loss. So having a written version is great for those who are deaf or hard of hearing as it gives them a different way to access your content whilst allowing your content to be more accessible.

Search Engine Optimisation

Obtaining a professional podcast transcription enables search engines like Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, and others to crawl through the text, which makes the content of your podcast searchable.

Reutilisation of Content

This enables content to be reused in different ways or to be repurposed on social media.
