Transcription for Movies and Television shows

"Video transcription is comparatively a new concept to us though it is widely used in western countries. Through video transcription, we can capture all the conversations in a movie or TV show with accuracy. This helps the viewers all round the world to follow the conversations correctly."

Transcription is a very commonly used term now-a-days. We have heard about medical transcription, business transcription, and even legal transcription. But how many of you have heard of Video Transcription?

It is comparatively a new concept to us though video transcription services are widely used in western countries.

If you are an expert in English language and keen on your hearing skills, you can be a part of video transcription. When you watch a movie or a TV show for the first time, you might not be able to keenly follow the conversations – the reasons may vary. But a video transcriber can capture all the conversations with accuracy. This helps the spectators all round the world to follow the conversations correctly.

Using video transcription, you can even transcribe the background sounds from a movie or TV show. For example, you can transcribe a visual of chiming church bells as ‘the church bells are ringing”. This naturally becomes a great assistance even to the deaf who couldn’t follow the conversations or sound effects that come with the visual media.

Another video transcription service is video tagging. If you miss out watching your favourite TV show, need not worry. Through video tagging, you can index the program according to the time it appears on the television. You can index portions of a movie or a TV program and escape from the unnecessary portions which you want to skip. Great idea, isn’t it?

The scope of video transcription is unlimited and so is its demand.
