Defined
Transcription Riches
reserves the right to determine the level of recording.
Level 1: A level 1
recording is defined below:
• A well-recorded
audio.
• One or more persons talking, and only one person
talking at a time;
• In the case of an interview, an
interviewer and another subject or subjects.
• This
can be an MP3 of a webinar, teleseminar, presentation or dictation.
•
Audio must be recorded digitally.
• We can take
MP3, WAV, or almost any other format of recording.
• We
can download it from your site; you can send it to us through our FTP
site; you can have
it delivered to us on a CD
or DVD.
• While the majority of recordings are well
recorded, difficult to hear, background noise,
mumbling, or other instances of hard-to-hear or understand
dialogue, will throw the audio into
one
of the higher levels of recordings.
Level 2: A
Level 2 recording is defined below:
• An
audio that is not well recorded
• Any source that
is not recorded digitally
• Seminars with Q&A
where a microphone is not given to the person asking the question
•
Slight background noise
Level 3: A
Level 3 recording is defined below:
•
Speakers with heavy accents
• Audios with background
noise such as wind, restaurant noise
• Groups where
more than one person speaks at a time
•
Hard-to-understand speakers, such as speakers who are away from the
microphone at a
seminar or individuals who
mumble
• Requests for time coding
•
Video recordings
• Requests for all participants to be
identified by name for groups.
Level 4: All Panel
discussions or focus groups
Some of the above may be
considered bad recordings, impossible for us to transcribe with our
accustomed
quality, and may be rejected as a bad audio.
Transcription Riches
reserves the right to reject any audio determined to be too difficult to
transcribe.
