Transcription services, capturing the spoken word and recording it as the written word, have been commonplace for a number of years. The global pandemic fuelled the rise in popularity of video meetings, which are easily recordable. This has led to a subsequent growth in our high-quality German transcription services, which can accurately record what has been said.
Note-taking vs German Transcription
You may be familiar with being asked to take notes at a meeting, never an easy assignment. Generally we speak between 100 and 200 words every minute, that’s an awful lot to write down. As a note-taker you have to prioritise what is captured – which can lead to important information being missed. With transcription everything is written down, so no vital information is missed. Because the recording can be rewound, the transcript is far more accurate. This is why more and more companies, particularly those based in Germany are using a German transcription services.
The German Language
German is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, and serves as the native tongue for over 90 million people. With its distinctive grammar structure, compound words, and nuanced expressions, German embodies a blend of tradition and modernity. Whether navigating the intricacies of its grammatical cases or reveling in the resonance of its poetry, the German language invites exploration into the depths of culture and intellect.
Academic and Professional Applications
German researchers frequently use transcription when conducting research interviews. One to one interviews are best when the interviewer can focus on asking the important questions – rather than making notes as they go along. By recording the interview and then using our German transcription services they get an accurate transcript without losing focus during the interview. This also allows any technical or specific terminology to be recorded accurately.
