Moving to digital audio files was a big transformation for the transcription industry since analog audio transcription recordings would cause changes in voice pitch associated with even minor changes in analog tape speed. Consequently, the voice will be not clear which will make the job of the transcriber harder. The problem only grew as equipment aged and tapes were reused. Even among recorders and players manufactured by the same companies, tape speed was always an issue.
With digital audio files being recorded as well as played at the same set clocked computer speed, the play speed can be manipulated to make a recording play at a slower or faster tempo however it will retain the proper voice pitch. The use of the playback speed control now becomes a useful add-on enhancement feature for the intelligibility of transcription recordings by preserving the pitch and understandability of the voice recording.

Electronic audio recording also added, included in the advantage of a constant playback and record rate, the ability to precisely index or bookmark a selection or passage in a transcribing audio file.
Compatibility issues between transcription recordings and playback have all but disappeared from the transcription industry. Previous to the latest transcription equipment, getting and using the digital audio information from a client meant the actual transcriber had to use the same coordinating hardware as their client.
The latest hardware and software to defend myself against the transcription business, allow for wide differences in the data platforms used to record with. Once the audio or audio/video recording gets to the transcribers office, it is reconfigured into the structure matching the transcribers preference. File designations like MP3, WAV, WMA, DSS, and VOC or even VOX are sent out from the healthcare or legal professionals in electronic e-mail or file transfer form (FTP). The transcription company transcriber is then free to work in whatever audio format provides the most control or clarity during playback, no matter what format the customer sends the assignment upon. It is easily attached to the transcribed record along with billing and emailed back to the client for total job management.
No couriers or even face time at the post office is needed to conduct business. That in by itself saves money and time, with the latter being put to better use transcribing even more content for clients. The internet becomes your conduit to and from transcription clients.
Control of digital audio data flow is as simple as computer software program and a transcription service companys standard foot pedal. Additionally, an interface box between the pedal and the computer enables proprietary control commands to be issued from a universal pedal. This ability plays best in video transcription service, exactly where control of audio and video playback must be addressed individually.
