Why choose Ditto Transcripts over AI or voice recognition for business transcription services?

AI, or voice recognition transcription, has been steadily growing in the past few months. It’s a handy way for students and professionals to record personal notes or make recordings in quiet environments with a simple conversation and no more than two people. You will need to do a lot of editing, though, with AI transcription.

Think about the business meetings, customer service calls, and every time your business talks with a stakeholder. Business meetings and conference calls almost always have more than two speakers. You will be talking about numbers, there can be accents, and at times the subject matter is complex or very unique to your industry. 

With Ditto Transcripts, you deal with 100% US-based human transcriptionists who can handle the nuances of overlapping voices, accents, jargon, dialects, and non-standard pronunciations. 

AI may be a useful tool, but nothing beats hands-on human transcription. 

Offshore transcription costs more in the long run

Like AI, offshoring transcription work is becoming increasingly popular among businesses. Transcription services from Europe, Latin America, and Asia boast high accuracy rates and fast turnaround times. Possibly the most alluring benefit of all is saving money. 

However, there are many arguments on whether choosing an offshore company actually saves your business money in the long run as people are becoming aware of hidden costs. They include: 

The cost of selecting a vendor

When you outsource a service, you pay the expense of a service provider, which can cost anywhere from 0.2% to 2% in addition to the annual cost of the deal. To put it into perspective, sending $20,000 of work overseas would cost you anywhere from $40 to $400 each year. 

The selection costs include sending RFPs and evaluating the responses, documenting requirements, and negotiating a contract. A foreign project manager could be working on this, and several others, all at the same time as everyone sees a profit opportunity in doing higher volumes. 

There are also legal fees. Some companies hire an outsourcing advisor for an equal cost of doing it themselves. The entire process can take six months to one year, depending on the nature of the contract. 

The cost of layoffs

Suppose you used to work with a US-based transcription service or an in-house transcriptionist and are now switching to offshore. In the latter case, you may pay some unanticipated expenses like severance and unemployment benefits increases. 

Layoffs can also cause significant morale problems among workers, in some cases leading to disaffection and work slowdowns. Companies with experience offshoring should factor in the productivity dips and potential legal action from laid-off employees into their cost-benefit analysis.

The cultural cost

You simply cannot replace an American with someone from a different cultural background. A reason for this is that every culture has its own idea of work ethics and perspectives. Something that may seem like common sense to an American could be entirely bogus for someone reviewing your work overseas. 

In transcription, context is everything. It’s what helps boost accuracy rates. The biggest issue with using foreigners for transcription is that they don’t understand the context and miss key points simply because they don’t live here. For example, they may not know what “Thanksgiving” is and transcribe it as “thanks for giving.” “Bachelorette party” could be confused with “bachelor’s degree.” Some things are common in American culture and aren’t experienced in other parts of the world, creating a lack of knowledge. 

The cost of managing an offshore contract 

Managing an offshore contract presents itself with a significant amount of work, including invoicing, auditing, ensuring the cost centers are charged correctly, and recording time properly. And the more projects you send offshore, the more you’ll have to keep track of. 

There’s also the risk of what happens if the provider breaks a contract or agreement. The cost of getting an international lawyer to go after someone overseas for breaking a contract (including an NDA agreement) is astronomical. People can simply disappear and never be seen again. It’s different if you are a large company like Apple or Google with offices all over the world. There are maybe 100 companies that have the power to enforce contracts worldwide.

The enormous cost of editing 

Lastly, when you receive your transcript back from overseas, and its error rate is too high to use, you’ll either edit it yourself or pay one of your staff to fix it. Your staff, who should be focusing on more important tasks, may now have to work overtime. You may also need to hire an in-house editor or outsource the editing. 

So, does outsourcing your transcription needs actually save you money? By looking at the hidden costs, the answer is leaning towards no. After you select a vendor, consider the cultural barriers, the possible layoffs, the contract management, and the time needed to edit. Choosing a US-based transcription service like Ditto Transcripts will be equal to or even cost less in the long run.
