Tips for Better Quality Sound Files

The quality of recorded sound that you upload to Way With Words is important and is influenced by how you record your audio file.

Choose your recording equipment carefully: When selecting a recording device, rather choose one that will allow you to record in digital format (preferably mp3). Do note though that all digital formats are compatible with our software and equipment.

Way With Words will gladly advise you about equipment and file formats. Please contact us.

Speak with a strong clear voice: Should you be outside or in a place where there is background noise, such as people talking, vacuum cleaners, announcements being made, or phones ringing, remember to increase the level of your voice to be sure that the discussion is recorded clearly. If there is a sudden disturbance then repeat your statement, particularly if it is important. 

Way With Words produces the highest quality transcription. This is, in part, dependant on voice clarity. Remember to  speak concisely and clearly but repeat words or sentences if a disturbance occurs.

Save your recording in high resolution: It is always helpful to save your audio file in the highest possible resolution or setting on your digital recorder. The higher the quality setting the better the quality of sound for us to transcribe.
