Shop for a Transcriber
Many growing businesses find themselves in need of a transcribing machine to convert audio meetings and dictations to hard copy files. To find the best transcriber to fit your business needs, research thoroughly and comparison shop to find the best value.
Instructions
1. Determine what your budget will be for a transcriber purchase. Consider side items like foot pedals, microphones, cassettes, power cords and miscellaneous materials.
2. Visit multiple local office supply warehouses to find deals and available products.
3. Shop online to find unadvertised or non-publicized bargains at auction and overstock sites.
4. Check newspaper advertisements and classified sections under the category "business machines for sale" to find deals.
5. Ask relative questions while comparing transcribers such as when was the machine manufactured, does it come with a foot pedal, what are the machine speeds and what is the warranty coverage provided.
6. Inquire about any future sales or possible rebates offered with the purchase of a transcriber. Business equipment manufacturers often offer discounts or rebates throughout the year. If the model you have selected is not on sale currently, it may be next week! Always ask!
7. Inspect the return policy if you're not satisfied with the purchase. Be sure that the policy is lenient to allow room for a "try-before-buy" test.
