When it comes to dictation service for transcription, there are some obvious points that will help one get the best results. The most obvious is to make sure one dictates in a quiet room, preferably alone and with as little background noise as possible. They should want to avoid shuffling papers or tapping on a keyboard while dictating as this can obscure one´s voice when the transcriptionist attempts to transcribe it. Another thing one should do is use a noise canceling microphone, which cuts down any background noise and aims to record only the voice speaking into it.

A knowledgeable transcriptionist will know to capitalize names, but where you have words requiring capitalization that are not proper nouns, dictation service providers will need to say so. They should try to say the capitalization before the word itself. If a dictation service provider has words that, in context, are always going to be capitalized, they should say so at the beginning. Although capitalization of names can be assumed, these dictation providers should spell all names including people’s and place names. Dictation service providers also need to remember that easy names might be spelled more than one way. If they will be working regularly with a certain transcriptionist it is worth providing a list of names within that organization, names that you are likely to mention frequently, with simple guidelines in advance.

If a dictation service provider wants the work produced to a standard format, they should send their transcriptionist a template or a copy of a piece of work formatted in the say way that they want this transcript formatted. A transcriptionist can work to a variety of different templates provided by a dictation service, and will otherwise work to their own standard template. A dictation service should specify each time they want a new heading or sub-heading. For example, they should state “new heading,” when they want a new heading put in, prior to giving the heading title.

There are bound to be specific instructions that a dictation service and a transcriptionist develop between each other over time, hopefully this has given you some information about a dictation service.
