Freqently Asked Questions

1. Why use AVT for transcription services when I conduct an audio or video conference, focus group, speech or presentation?
Often during an event like a conference call or a seminar, participants spend too much time taking notes and not enough time paying attention. AVT documents your entire event - be it an investor relations videoconference, a speech by your CEO, or a focus group testing the latest widget. AVT takes the pressure off you to take minutes and lets you concentrate on the matters at hand.

A transcript is also useful in disseminating information to anyone who wasn't able to attend an event in person. It's quick and easy to read the verbatim document, as opposed to taking the time and trouble of listening to an entire recording and having to make notes anyway.

2. How can I justify the cost of using AVT for transcription?
Think about the true cost of gathering together several well-compensated participants for an hour-long conference call. The cost involved in such a meeting is what is lost when things aren't documented: no one can remember precisely who said what, who committed to doing what, and the details of decisions that were made. With a full, accurate record of all your meetings, focus groups, and the like, you can help ensure the human capital spent on a meeting is a wise investment.

3. How easy is it to get started?
It's as easy as making a phone call. We will help you plan and execute what is needed to make sure your event gets documented. AVT can produce transcripts from audio and video media, WAV files, or even tape events live - whichever fits into your organization's needs.
