Time is a precious gift.

Every one of us are given exactly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. It is entirely up to us how we utilize this time to live our lives.

So one of the most powerful and meaningful gifts during Christmas (or any time of the year, for that matter) is the gift of time.

English to Burmese, English to Chin Translation Services: Now Open!

Carey — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 07:07:42 +0000

Due to high demand in Chin translation services we are now opening translation services.

This is the first ever and only online translation services for Chin languages. So contact us for any translation you need on the Chin languages.

Chin languages are spoken in the Chin State of Myanmar (Burma), a country under military rule.

Translation services we offer are:

English to Burmese translation
Burmese to English translation
English to Chin translation
Chin to English translation

Of late there has been many queries to me about Chin translation.

Contact us for any Chin languages translations, now!

Although there are many translation services around the world, they don’t have first language speakers in Chin language. So these translation services/companies often contact me on sub-contract basis. So, I thought customers will save by dealing directly with me and getting their translation done by me. Also they get native speakers of the languages to work for them.

Since Chin itself is not a single language our services include the major Chin languages or dialects.

That means, we have:

English to Tedim Chin translation services
English to Haka Chin translation (Note: Haka is often written as Khalkha as well)
English to Falam Chin translation
Tedim Chin to English translation (Note: Tedim is often written as Tiddim or Teddim as well)
Haka Chin to English translation
Falam Chin to English translation
Burmese to English translation
English to Burmese translation

Why us?

Native Chin language speakers as translators
Very reasonable rates as compared to translation companies without native speakers
Quicker turnaround time
Payment via Paypal – easy and secure.

How to contact us?

Contact us via our contact form.
Mention your source language and the language you want translated to – eg. English to Tedim Chin, Haka Chin or Falam Chin or vice versa.
Please mention your budget so we save time and effort getting back and forth on price/rates.
Also mention the format you want the translation in eg MS Word, PDF or Text.
When you might require your script back – turnaround time (TAT).

5 Reasons to Have Your Video Blogs and Podcasts Transcribed

Carey — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 04:37:15 +0000

Podcasts and video blogs are great for allowing people to express their ideas, opinions and views in a more natural form with facial expressions and vocal tones. They prevent the loss of such visual and vocal cues like sarcasm or anger, which can be misconstrued in the written form. Despite this, there are still many reasons to have video blogs, or vlogs, and podcasts transcribed.

Search Engine Indexing

One huge benefit to transcribing podcasts and video blogs is because in their audio form, content from podcasts and video blogs cannot be found by search engines. By transcribing these, the written form becomes searchable by search engines, thus increasing the podcast or vlog’s accessibility.

A Wider Market

Simply put, some people simply don’t like listening to podcasts or video blogs and instead prefer to read the information. The instant gratification of visual accessibility of written words may be preferential to certain people; though others may simply prefer the written format because they retain the information better when it is read rather than listened to. By accommodating these people, a podcast or video blog can create a larger following.

Creating Accessible Quotes

Some vlogs and podcasts benefit from being ‘quotable’ and this is even more true when those quoting can easily find the quote they are looking for without having to listen to the entire broadcast. Having quotes around the web on other websites can help drive more listeners and readers to the podcasts or vlogs.

Additional Product

By transcribing a vlog or podcast, the creator has the potential to turn these transcriptions into additional products. This could include eBooks, print books, blogs or other websites. This can lead to additional monetary income through advertising and additional page views as with online publication. Additional products translates into additional income and a larger following.

Personal Reference

Transcripts do not have to be published, but having them on hand can benefit the creator. After so many podcasts or vlogs have been produced, it can be difficult to remember exactly where or if something was said. Having transcripts can help the creator or followers search back to find quotes, references or specific guest speakers.

In short, transcribing a video blog or podcast has a number of benefits. Not only does it create a written record, it also can help promote the podcast or vlog through search engines and create a larger following. It can create additional income for the creator or it can simply be a reference point for future needs.

Podcasting, Communication, New Media, Podcast Awards – Articles Round-Up

Carey — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 22:17:07 +0000

Did you know there are more than 150,000 podcasts available via iTunes?

Podcasting has really become BIG. It is one of the best ways to market online – whether it’s an online business or your services.

Here is a round up of some of the most insanely useful articles on podcasting. Hope you enjoy them!!

Events:

BlogWorld Expo & Podcast Pavilion - BlogWorld Expo in LA (November 3-5)
PodcastAwards are ongoing – cast your votes today on PodcastAwards.com!

This may sound like a self plug (and it is!) but podcast transcription helps podcasters to – monetize, reach wider audience (hearing impaired and other readers), SEO and article marketing, guest posting, ebook publication, etc to name a few.

Results will vary – how big your audience is, method of monetization, how old your blog/website is, how popular your podcast is, etc. But it’s easy to see why podcast transcription helps. Audios are not indexed by search engines, text is. With your keywords mentioned over and over in your podcasts it’s easy to assume SEO benefits and free traffic from search engines. Easy to share and quote and link to and from blogs. Monetize with affiliate links and Adsense-like programs.

Recently a client had me transcribe his podcasts which were then converted to PDFs for his paying customers (membership site members) who perceive the PDF transcripts as premium products in themselves. Thereby adding more perceived value. Within the PDFs we also incorporated his affiliate links, logo (branding) and links to other articles and podcasts!!
