In an informal poll, we heard from more than 50 journalists about their favorite transcription services and what they liked about each. While there is no single service that meets all of our data privacy needs, here we unpack security and privacy practices for popular transcription services, weigh when journalists should use remote transcription services, and explore how to minimize risk when working with sensitive audio. But uploading audio to a transcription service means giving a copy of that - sometimes sensitive - recording over to a company. Journalistic work often depends on transcription services for creating written logs of recorded audio, from assisting in research to captioning videos to publication of interviews. Uploading audio to a transcription service means giving a copy of that recording over to a company – and that brings security considerations. Global Investigative Journalism Network.
