Every veteran transcriber knows how much having a quality headset can do to the quality of an audio. Some headsets have the added benefit of noise cancellation and therefore you can work from literally anywhere. However, for beginners, that may represent a challenge since this type of headsets are usually expensive.

As a beginner in transcription, I would highly recommend the OTranscribe website. You can load an audio file directly on the website; the audio does not upload to the site but runs from your computer on the browser. The site has text area where you can type out the transcript. The best thing about OTranscribe is the simple to use, one-button hot keys for pausing, forwarding and rewinding the audio file. The transcript is also saved automatically on your browser so no need to worry if the lights go out or you close the browser accidentally.

Another great software you could also use is Express Scribe. The best part, is that it is free. And to be honest here, I cannot say I enjoy using it as much as OTranscribe . However, some of the people in our transcription community use it, and have only good things to say about it. Have a look at the two suggestions and kindly have a say in the comments below.
