6/13/2012 4:38:20 PM I'm trying to find a transcription job to hold me over until my CSR test, and I started to look into transcribing TV shows or movies into script form. However, I've been in contact with some companies who do that, and they want it in a format with the timecode, description of the scene, etc. Is it possible to fulfill this format using my steno machine, or is it counter-productive? |

Just tried doing that myself. Wow! Labor intensive. Not with your steno software I don't think. I looked into software programs for timecoding. Found something called Inqscribe (going by memory here). It's free for 30 days I believe. Let me know if you find anything. nhswartz2@stny.rr.com I had talked to the producer of the show and it was all a go but just didn't have the right software to do a great job for them. |

I "transcribed" a show as a production assistant many years ago for a 30-minute show produced by a sports league. I just sat in the office with headphones and a beta tape and painstakingly typed it up in our system and then faxed it to someone in D.C. Quite frankly, I wasn't paid anything other than the PA salary I was getting. I suspect there are many taped shows that do this...
The folks I know that did jobs on their steno machine before the test were either doing hearings or CART. Hope that helps. |
