4+ Powerful integrations of iTranscript
iTranscript is best transcription software Integrated with many features that both work passively and actively to ease your transcription experience by:
- Simplifying the steps
- Securing your file transactions
- Making the communication process prompt
YouTube, Vimeo, DropBox and Box APIs:
To have your files transcribed, you either upload your files directly to your transcription company or share the credentials of your third-party file sharing platform.
With iTranscript and its integration of YouTube, Vimeo, Dropbox and Box APIs, TranscriptionStar gives you a whole new mode for uploading your files securely.
How this works:
iTranscript a transcribing software acts as a medium for connecting your file sharing platforms with TranscriptionStar without you having to share your credentials. Usually when you need a file transcribed you had to upload or find a way to deliver them to TranscriptionStar, even if the file was already uploaded to your file hosting/sharing accounts.
But, now you can forget about that.
You link your iTranscript account with your YouTube, Vimeo, Dropbox or Box accounts and have you files transferred to TranscriptionStar instantly by just selecting the ones you want to have transcribed via iTranscript.
Madison Gray of Lovely woods a documentary videographer “Despite having a busy schedule I had to sit through uploading my files, twice; once when uploading to YouTube and then again to TranscriptionStar to have it transcribed. So, I ended up sharing my YouTube channel credentials with them.” “But, when I started working with my client’s channels I couldn’t get to share their credentials”
“Often I had to upload huge files repeatedly, which took a major bite into my productivity.”
But, with the introduction of YouTube integrations in iTranscript, “I get so excited that this way I am able to save about half my time that I usually spend uploading those large files.”Hence iTranscript is the best YouTube transcription tool you can have.
Likewise, Daniel Jones from California a freelance vlogger“I work with a lot of clients and use DropBox to share and manage my files.”But when he had to transcribe his videos, he had to share his credential with the transcription company so that he could avoid uploading them again. “It left me constantly worried, because all my client’s data were there, and I was responsible for their confidentiality.”
With the introduction of DropBox integration with iTranscript “It totally got my worries out of my mind.”
Don’t wait for confirmation:
Customers, after uploading their files had to confirm with TranscriptionStar. Now with iTranscript they are sent a confirmation email in an instant.
So, this cuts down on the requirement to make calls or get in chat with the company.
Example: After sending their file, Media Nations a video presentation company had to call TranscriptionStar every time. And this had become a regular part of their everyday work as they worked with numerous companies. “But, when we started using iTranscript, I felt the processes cut-off for us. I didn’t have to call TranscriptionStar ever so often just to inform them that I have uploaded a file” – Jennifer Ray, Process Manager at Media Nations.
Can keep a track:
Again, when you are uploading multiple files and want to know the status of each of the transcripts, it can be quite overwhelming. So, with iTranscript you will be constantly aware of the progress.
Your file will be tagged under Accepted, In Transcript, In Edit, In QA or Delivered. This lets you know the status of each file at a glance.
Example: FlareDrive media consultancy team had a fair share of experience helping e-learning companies deliver online contents. So, they had to be diligent when it came to knowing the status of individual files whenever their clients wanted.
“It had been a nightmare when at one time we had eight of our clients calling us to inquire about the status of their files and we had to scutter between calling TranscriptionStar and getting back to our clients, back and forth.”
“With iTranscript all that changed. I have the app open on my mobile and get all status details I need under a single tab. This has cut down on my productivity time considerably.” Says Leonard Raymond, client coordinator at FlareDrive
Uploading anytime by anyone:
In an organization, it is not always you who does the uploading and tracking. And, when it is you who needs to be kept updated of the process, you simply had to find it out the traditional way.
“My colleague was the one uploading the files; however I had to create all the reports.” – Jade Lawrence, senior executive at Catalina law firm.“I would wait for the appropriate time to contact him. He would then call up TranscriptionStar to check if they have received our files, and once they confirm he would then revert back to me.”“This was starting to become quite a tedious process.”
But, when iTranscript was introduced “I instantly loved it. I get an email from iTranscript every time TranscriptionStar receives our files.That was all I needed.” “This was downright simple and effective.”
Extracting weekly, monthly and yearly records:
When I had to retrieve a month old transcript I had to call up TranscriptionStar. It was a constant affair with me. Working from different locations meant my files would be spread all over. Sometime I would never be able to find the right transcript. I tried different methods to keep a track of them but I couldn’t be consistent.
This was bothering me to have to keep calling the customer care ever so often. I used to spend a day at least every month trying to figure them out. This all changed with iTranscript. It’s all there all the time. I can just pick them from my app, didn’t have to call anyone again for my month old, or even a year old transcripts.
Edit details after uploading:
The audio quality was pretty decent, so had chosen CAT-A as my video quality, and the transcription company had provided an invoice based on my choice. However, later I got a call informing me that this was a CAT-B video. They explained the reasons and I was convinced. But now my invoice had to be revised and the transcription process could start only after that.
This incident kept me on the edge every time I opted for a CAT. Because I don’t want to be revising my invoices and delaying my transcript dates.
But, in iTranscript this process has been automated. I or TranscriptionStar could make changes as and when needed without the worry of delay, because the invoice generation is totally automated.
Payment confirmations:
Every time I make payments I receive a confirmation form iTranscript.I do not have to contact TranscriptionStar after making the payments. And PayPal integration makes it so easy to handle my transactions. And I know it is secure, so no worries.
