What is the transcription?
The transcription player is used to play audio content for the purpose of creating a text file. It can be either a separate machine or a computer program. Most transcription players can be operated using a foot pedal with controls that can stop, start, quickly forward and rewrite the content. When using the player, the transcription will usually wear headphones. This may include the ability to slow or speed up the audio and shortcut keys for playback functions. Some players also have compatibility with programs that can fill frequently used, complex terms such as those used in the medical area. The computer program may have the ability to mark completed projects, sort unfinished work or archive and prefer items in the Open Project queue. It may be the option to stop the file at a specific location so that the transcription can pick up where it ended.
