Are you tired of seeing the word "inaudible" appear in your transcripts?  Remember microphones pick up all sounds in the room not just voices.  So when you are dropping books on the table (KERTHUNK), crumbling paper (CRINKLE CRACKLE CRUNCH), flipping pages in a book (SWISH) or walking around the room while talking (especially in high heels - CLICKITY CLACK) the microphone picks up all these noises and more and drowns out your voice.  

 

Help us help you.  In order to give you the best possible transcript of your hearing please remember the above mentioned items as well as:

 

Speak into the microphone and talk slowly and clearing.  Pretend you are addressing a 10-year-old trying to get your point across.

 

When offering exhibits give a clear description of exhibit and clearly state the exhibit number.  This is especially true in cases where there have been multiple dates of hearings and the exhibit numbers have been changed from one hearing date to another for whatever reason.

 

We know it is important for you to get your points and your arguments on the record.  Please remember if more than one person is talking we may not be able to hear what you said and get it in the transcript.

 

Flygare & Associates In-House Transcription Department transcribes a variety of hearings, meetings, videos, text messages, voice messages, emails, etc. We are here for all your transcription needs.

Click Here For Our Video DepartmentAre you frustrated and irritated playing back your video proceeding and hearing the sounds of electronic interference? 
 
The next time you are at a video deposition and the videographer requests that you turn off all electronic devices, listen to the person that you've hired and turn them off.  As a professional legal videographer, I have heard the playbacks that have the electronic signal interrupting the audio feed with a terrible squeaking kind of sound. This is not a good thing.
 
If you find yourself in a situation that you cannot turn off your device, for whatever reason, let all parties know and maybe even put a statement on the record that you are unable to turn off the device and state the reason why.
 
Your video recording will be much better for it, and the people eventually watching your video will not be so distracted because of the  screeching noise in the background.
