Educational transcription

The transcription is used for educational purposes and hence the name Educational Transcription.The services under this category fall under two main classes, namely real time educational transcription and non-real time educational transcription.

Audio recording and related Technology and affordability have brought enormous opportunity for today’s learners. Recorded class room lectures and focus group sessions in universities are invaluable assets to students. Transcribing classroom sessions are very useful and allow communication access during classes for deaf and hard of hearing people, as well as those with visual, physical or learning difficulties.

We transcribe variety of subjects handled in classroom sessions. This saves great deal of time in taking notes in the classrooms. It helps students to concentrate on listening and querying masters.We help students by recommending professional recorders and transmitting over the internet. We also guide students on their telephonic interview set up and recording.

Real time educational transcription is primarily used by the deaf and hard of hearing students to understand the on goings in the classroom. Imagine for a while that you are a deaf student studying in a mainstream school. The teacher is carrying on with her lecture while the students are all indulging in interactions about what the teacher is saying.

Alas, you cannot hear what anyone of them says nor can you take part in the discussions. This is not uncommon for deaf and hard of hearing students as a statistic points out that 75% of deaf and hard of hearing people have to do with studying in normal schools where other normal kids study. With little help from teaching staff in the form of deserved extra attention and the study material being created keeping in mind the classroom lectures, the hearing impaired students are unable to learn effectively in their schooling years, which can cause irreversible damage to their future prospects.
