Imagine if 100 years from now, you can relive a particular event or a story that happened in the present day? Oral history interviews serve as a wonderful method to record significant events and stories from human memories, usually captured through audio or video interviews.
Oral history project transcription converts these valuable interviews into a text format that can be archived permanently. These text transcripts capture not only the subject matter of the interview but can also present you with the mood of the interviewer and the interviewee, since the transcription process generally involves verbatim conversion.
It makes much more sense to collate and edit written text than audio recordings; for this reason, oral history transcription can serve as the basis for documentaries, books, lectures and museum exhibits. They also, most of the time, serve as a source for radio and TV programs, along with the original recording. One more advantage of transcribing oral history interviews is that it is easily accessible to people who are hearing impaired.
