Are you a, reality or commercial producer working within tight budgetary and time-line constraints? Improving your audio recording is the name of the game to lower your transcription costs.

Daily Transcription announces a new transcription service aimed at Reality and commercial producers with tight budgetary and timeline constraints.

The Post Production Industry now has a tool that produces MP3s with embedded time codes. Sound Devices 552 Production Mixer produces real time WAV, BWF & MP3s with LTC (Linear Time Code) recorded to the an audio channel. Using sophisticated software Daily Transcription is able to decipher the analog time code track in the file giving the transcriber a way to read frame accurate time codes. This feature caters to the time sensitive demands of transcribing reality TV shows, news, commercials and documentaries.

The real savings come at the Post Production facility. The normal turnaround time from shooting to sending files to transcription houses is about four hours for every hour of footage recorded. Using the 552 Production Mixer allows almost on-the-fly transcription to begin while shooting. Sound Mixers can literally send MP3 audio to Daily Transcription from the shoot without going back to the Post Production facility, digitizing, creating string-outs and converting into compressed proxy files. At an average of $35-$50 per hour it doesn’t take long to realize substantial cost savings - but most of all - time, something every Post Production Supervisor dreams about.

Daily Transcription decided to invest in the software that allows deciphering of the MP3s because we see more and more producers with tight budgets. Time is literally money and we feel our investment will help our clients and ourselves to become even more efficient and responsive to today’s ever changing production needs.
