Abstract
A transcription provider is presented with an audio recording created using one or more recording devices. A transcriptionist using proprietary computer software records at discrete intervals both the position of the audio playing for the transcriptionist and the position of the cursor in the document being typed by the transcriptionist, thereby creating both a completely typed document and an audio map. The completed document may be further processed such that each word is matched to its corresponding audio position using the information acquired from the audio map and the matched word may then be put into a separate document as a hyperlink containing meta-data that points to the exact matching audio position. By simultaneously tracking the progress of audio playback and transcriptionist progress within a document, the transcriptionist is then able to display an interactive version of the completed document.
