Freelance case study article developed for TranscriptionStar, a leading US Transcription company

Here is how TranscriptionStar acted as a blessing in disguise for pop musician James:



In the modern musical arena, Music and Transcription go hand in hand. But many of the musicians fail to acknowledge it and realize it only in the later part of their music career. One such person is our customer ‘James Smith’- a busy music professional. Here, we are about to see how TranscriptionStar bailed him out of a difficult situation…

James Smith hails from Boston and has a liking for music ever since his childhood. Right from his early days, he meticulously practised the guitar from top music schools in and around the city. And, no surprise that he took up pop music as his profession. Soon, he got opportunities to play as a lead guitarist for various top music bands around the world.

A ‘surprise’ offer:

James preferred to use “Soundcloud” as his storage platform for organizing all his professional music recordings over the years. He often shares his audio recordings with his fellow musicians for the purpose of discussing its pros and cons. Often, he used to upload audio clips that last from few minutes to several hours too. Also, the file size of the compositions used to be heavy in size ranging from a few MBs to GBs as well.

On one fine day, James was approached by the renowned “One direction”  band unexpectedly, as one of their lead guitarists fell sick ahead of a major world tour. But, he was asked to share his prior composed songs along with transcripts within 24 hours for confirming the offer. James was shell-shocked as he had never used transcripts for his songs composed earlier and he had almost 500 hours of music to transcribe with.

James described the situation he went through as “I felt clueless and have lost hope completely. It was once in a lifetime opportunity for me and I don’t think I may be presented with this kind of opportunity anytime soon…”

Lack of time for individually uploading the files:

For sending them to various transcription service providers, James had to separately upload each of his files and share them via a cloud storage platform or through email as attachments. So the option of even choosing a ‘Super Rush’ transcription order went out of radar.

Finally, he decided to send queries to all the leading transcription service providers about his passion for music and how badly he needed to make use of this golden opportunity. He clearly stated that he did not want to undergo the pain of uploading each and every file and wanted some integrator platform that could connect directly to his SoundCloud account and retrieve transcription files from there automatically.

Smooth integration with ‘SoundCloud’:

When this query came to our support team, we ably assisted Mr James by explaining how TranscriptionStar’s exclusive product ‘iTranscript’ can integrate to his SoundCloud account with ease and how we can deliver the required audio files with minimum Turn Around Time (TAT).

Through our support team’s able assistance, James Smith was able to accomplish the task with utmost ease. “The process was as smooth as silk. Through the TranscriptionStar guys’ help, I instantly signed up for an iTranscript account, filled the order form, made the payment online and integrated my SoundCloud account with iTranscript software in a jiffy!!!”, said James ecstatically.

And, to further add on, TranscriptionStar even appointed a dedicated team consisting of experienced transcribers who were specially trained to transcript “Super Rush” files as per the requirement. They used all their expertise and worked round the clock to deliver the transcripts of all the audio files that James requested.

A miracle… Nevertheless!!!

And once the files were ready, James was able to download them in the format that he required such as Word, PDF, Notepad or HTML document within a few clicks. And it all did not end there. TranscriptionStar even offered to deliver interactive transcripts especially for him at a nominal cost.

James Smith in his own words, “Miracles do happen. But, it occurred in my life not once but twice; For the first time, when my dream band provided me with an offer and then when out of the blue a company like TranscriptionStar came to my rescue. Simply can’t believe it!”


If TranscriptionStar can work for James, then why can’t it for you?
