Tips for Transcribers

From Freelancer to Small Business Owner

​

Hello, Reader!

This month, we're talking about style guides. Boring! I know! But style guides are an essential aspect of our job and several benefits come from implementing a style guide as part of the transcription services you provide. Read about the benefits and learn how easy it is to create your own style guide in my newest article Transcription Style Guides - How To Create One.

If you're not offering your clients and freelancers a style guide, you need to create one now! Download my Free Transcription Style Guide Template to get started right away.

The template is easy to customize. Just type your company name at the top, then fill in your formatting details. Type out or add a screenshot of a transcript showing how the formatting will look in the final document. Continue filling in the other sections with your styling and examples. There's room at the end for you to add anything my template did not include.

Next month, I'll be writing about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the transcription industry. In the meantime, let me know how I can help you grow in your transcription career. I want to provide information, tools, and resources that you find valuable. So if there's a topic you'd like to learn more about, reply to this email or connect with me on Facebook or LinkedIn.

All the best,
