Trancription Services

I had some of my speeches and podcasts transcribed with iDictate.com. The results are here. Look over the transcriptions and tell me what you think. I am impressed with their blazing fast turnaround time and the accuracy of the resulting transcriptions. In one of my speeches, iDictate.com transcribed a better speech than I delivered :).

This reminds me of business-savvy portrait painters. You first discuss the client's desires and determine if he thinks he is overweight, or has a big nose or other blemish. Then you paint what the buyer wants to see. If necessary, the painter takes off a few pounds, or paints a smaller nose or fuller head of hair. Whatever the buyer wants to see is what the painter puts onto canvas. In my case, iDictate.com transcription experts put onto paper the speech that I wish I had given.

p.s. And of course, the only way you can have a speech transcribed, is to record it in the first place. Hint, hint. Get a portable audio recorder and record every speech. You may just be amazed at what you say.
