Interview transcription basically refers to the conversion of any question-
answer recording session conducted between two or more people into
written/text format. Interview transcription is generally provided for business,
legal, research, media and medical purposes.
An hour-long interview can easily take 6 to 7 hours to transcribe, depending
upon the skills and proficiency you have. Good listening capabilities, patience
and careful editing are the most important skills that are required for a good
transcriptionist.
