Clear the Logjam Common to Witness Interviews

Asking questions is perhaps the single biggest tool in the private investigator’s toolkit. Sure, there is video surveillance, record searches, and good old-fashioned stakeouts. But often, an hour of witness interviews, from formal sit-downs to informal exchanges, can give you more information than any of the above.

What you do with those answers depends on how you capture them. Perhaps the easiest way is to record those answers with a digital recorder (audio or video). Then, find reliable transcription services for private investigators to turn those witness interviews into usable text.

Interview Transcripts Are Important

Recording witness interviews and other exchanges is important, but it is only a first step. Should the case go to court for any reason, you’ll need a written transcript of those recordings.

That’s just the first and most obvious reason why interview transcripts are important. Even if the case doesn’t go to court, there is almost always a pre-court phase, including possible mediation proceedings. In these settings, the legal team needs to look prepared for court, even if it never makes it. That means having reams of information pertaining to the case ready to go – including transcripts of recorded events. The legal team that has their ducks in a row is much more likely to win.

Interview transcripts can also help you during your investigation. Often, a seemingly meaningless piece of information that came out during one interview could become a key piece of the puzzle later on. Searching back for that conversation through hours of videos or audio recordings is time-consuming. Having that information searchable and at your fingertips streamlines that search, saving time and frustration so you can focus on what really matters.

Why Spend Hours Transcribing Witness Interviews When You Can Spend Seconds to Upload?

Many private investigators believe they can save time and/or money by transcribing their own witness interviews and other recorded conversations. The truth is, they save neither. The hours they spend typing out notes could be better used on the case itself.

That’s why many private investigators find professional transcription services for witness interviews so helpful. Simply:

1. Contact iMedat to create a transcription services account (if you don’t already have one)
2. Upload your audio or video files to our secure servers
3. We’ll send you the completed transcripts

When you delegate an admin task such as transcription, it allows you to focus on what you do best: investigations.

Besides, we all know that those hours spent on clerical duties such as transcribing notes tend to add up. We keep putting it off and putting it off until it’s a mad rush to get it done. Transcription services streamline the process for witness interviews in that way, too, allowing you to upload as you go. That means you can keep up to date easily by spending seconds uploading on the fly instead of hours transcribing at the end. This approach has the added benefit that you can then use those transcripts for your own notes, making it easier to pick out certain parts of the conversation by searching the text, not the audio.
