  Time is Money:  5 Reasons Why Outsourcing Transcription Can Save Yours!

Tom Ryder

Tom Ryder

Marketing Manager

 

  1. Common Sense

No time or money is needed to train staff members when Accuro boasts a panel of over 450 medically and legally trained transcribers!

  1. Experience

Members of staff will not produce high quality documents from audio or video recordings as fast as a professional transcriber can.  If in-house staff are not efficient at this, then both money and time are wasted.  In-house employees could spend time more productively by working on other core business activities!

  1. Staff Overheads

With Accuro, you pay as you go.  Simply pay for what you need, when you need it, with no unnecessary costs or minimum spend!

  1. 24/7 Processing

Accuro’s transcribers work outside of office hours, increasing your productivity and allowing you to do more with your time.

  1. Editing

Accuro’s in-house editing function means that your documents are reviewed by fresh eyes before being returned to you.  You can be confident that the work you receive is of a high quality and will only need a quick proofread before you send them on to your clients or colleagues.

Proofread (speech recognition)

An automated transcription process which converts speech into text with an added edit (professional proofread). This service is suitable for customers who require a grammatically correct, complete document, with all the automated speech-to-text software errors corrected. The document is delivered in block text format which is ideal for internal use but will need reformatting for external use. This is a hybrid product, incorporating cost reductions and a human proofread.

This is a back-end speech recognition service which means that audio is uploaded with a completed block text document being returned quickly but following a correction audit by a professional proofreader. A front-end engine requires users to sit and correct documents there and then, such as Dragon Naturally Speaking software. The back-end process delivers where users do not have time to correct and do not want a change in their current upload process.

Speech-to-text software

Accuro trialled numerous speech recognition apps and voice recognition apps including Nuance’s Dragon Naturallyspeaking, Google Dictation, and Microsoft Azure’s speech-to-text service.

Accuro chose a bespoke, profile-based version of Microsoft Azure’s speech-to-text service due to their higher accuracy achieved through Azure’s neural networks and deep learning technology.  

Being profile based, Accuro’s speech recognition service benefits from industry specific dictionaries and deep learning where accent, dialect and dictation styles can be learned to improve accuracy over time.

With Microsoft’s acquisition of Nuance’s Dragon dictation, Accuro benefit from the fastest progressing and best AI in the speech-to-text market.

Rough draft (speech recognition)

Speech recognition is an automated transcription process which converts speech into text. This service is suitable for customers requiring a cost-effective and rapid rough draft copy of their voice into text.

‘Front end’ engines, such as Nuance’s Dragon Naturallyspeaking, require users to correct and edit (fix) documents in-app.

Accuro is a back-end speech recognition service which means that audio is uploaded and a completed block text document is returned within minutes.

The back-end process delivers when users want to upload dictation and then want an administrator to process the document or edit in Microsoft Word themselves, at a convenient time.
