By Sharon Walker


In the olden days the word of a man was enough to seal a contract or agreement. That is most definitely not the case any more. Today every transaction, every deal, every discussion and every important proceeding is recorded and transcribed into printed format. Every effort is made to make sure that there is a record of what was said, agreed upon or done. With help from reputable transcription services Boston industries and many others can make sure that the record is kept straight.

In days gone by the creation of transcripts was a time consuming business. The transcriptionist used shorthand to make notes of what was being said in a meeting or during proceedings and then had to type the record afterwards. Today, modern technology is used to record proceedings and it is even possible to use sophisticated software to turn audio records very quickly into written documents.

The courts routinely employ stenographers to record proceedings and to produce transcripts. These transcripts are normally produced very quickly because both the prosecutor and the defence lawyers require accurate records of the proceedings on a day to day basis. The judge study the transcripts in order to come to a just and legal decision. Court stenographers are very skilful and most are even able to integrate non verbal communication, such as quiet sobbing, into the transcript.

Medical specialists have also become used to hiring transcription specialists to help them to upkeep records of their patient files, to transcribe their comments during surgical procedures and even to record sensitive interviews. Doctors are vulnerable in terms of malpractice accusations, so it is in their interests to keep their records in order at all times.

Government departments want to make sure that accurate records of important negotiations and agreements are available. There are indeed many opportunities for those specializing in this field.

Accurate transcripts hold many benefits. They are widely used in the field of education and during research projects. Transcripts have been responsible for solving or preventing numerous legal disputes. In many cases transcripts are used as backup for audio or video recordings. The very fact that a meeting or negotiation is recorded can make participants careful about what they say or do. This can save time and help prevent conflict.

If they are good, and if they are fast, accurate and able to maintain a high level of confidentiality, professionals in this field enjoy ample rewards. To get into the profession requires the successful completion of a relevant course and mastery of the technology that is used to make the recordings. Prospective candidates must have above average language skills too and they must tend towards perfectionism.
