As a professional transcriptionist, you know that accuracy is everything. But even the best transcribers can fall into the trap of mishearing words—especially when two words sound nearly identical. That’s why we’ve created a fun transcription exercise to help you sharpen your listening skills and improve your ability to catch misrecognized words. In our latest video, you’ll get to test yourself by identifying incorrect phrases in real-world transcripts and figuring out what the correct words should be based on context.

This exercise is designed to simulate the kinds of errors that often appear in automated transcripts or human transcriptions when the listener misidentifies a word. You’ll hear clear recordings from a speaker with an Indian accent, and in each example, you must determine which word or phrase has been misrecognized and what the correct version should be.
By practicing with this exercise, you’ll develop a sharper ear for phonetic similarities, learn to rely on context clues to verify accuracy, and become a more efficient and confident transcriptionist. Plus, we introduce a powerful tool—the FTW Transcriber—which offers features like a playlist of recent files and instant playback, designed to make your workflow smoother and more efficient. If you want to transcribe faster and with greater accuracy, this is a must-watch!
