Transcription services are needed while producing a video. We are obsessed with binge watching web series are or films.

Journalism is a field where the need for transcription is really high.  Journalists are always in a constant need of transcription for gathering information from an interview or even a randomly recorded audio. Recording audio and then transcribing it later helps the interviewer to fully concentrate on asking questions rather than engaging in a task of asking questions and noting it down simultaneously.

Analysing the data extracted from an audio recording helps researchers to prove theories and hypothesis at a great deal.
