Whether you offer on-site, traditional classes or online-only courses, there are many arguments to made in favor of increasing accessibility to students of every stripe - let alone the legal arguments required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). While the act doesn’t specifically pertain to course content accessibility, the federal requirements are far-reaching for educational institutions serving those with disabilities.

Due to budgetary restraints in both educational institutions and on the part of individuals, transcribing audio and video materials that would otherwise benefit the research process are given a backseat or offloaded to inexperienced interns or low-quality outsourcing firms. But the value to researchers of easily accessible, highly accurate transcriptions of recorded materials like lectures, interviews, and media content isn’t in doubt. Having accurate and searchable text formats of these materials not only speeds up your research process, it has other benefits you may not realize.

The work of a private detective is rich for fiction for a reason – it’s varied, often exciting, and rarely presents the same challenges twice. Much as in straightforward police work, much of a private detective’s day-to-day involves collecting evidence, interviewing subjects, and processing vast amounts of information in a time-effective manner.

Whether it’s transcribing routine traffic reports or highly-sensitive interviews with suspects, no detail in the world of law enforcement is too small to ignore. If you’re still relying on in-house transcribers to handle your department’s audio/video transcriptions, you may be hindering your ongoing investigations. Law enforcement professionals should not be expected to spend valuable time and department resources to transcribe lengthy depositions or piles of recorded materials collected from the day-to-day interactions of all officers.

Large-scale firms and organizations often rely on clerical or administrative professionals to handle paperwork, communications, and file management tasks to support their primary functions. For audio and video recordings, a designated staff member is given the responsibility of transcribing the files into written formats. But for certain industries, like the medical or legal professions, there are drawbacks in keeping a full-time staffer on sensitive transcription jobs.

Burnout, or the act of a physical or mental collapse due to stress or overwork, can be present in nearly any professional setting. High-performing workers are most prone to this, as they tend to take on more work than they can reasonably handle over a lengthy period of time. But insurance adjusters are acutely prone to burnout and it’s understandable as to why. A vicious combination of high caseloads, increasing regulatory requirements, and performance standards that necessitate prolonged and repetitive clerical tasks take their toll on even the best adjusters.
