Academic transcription is the process of transcribing dictations of students and lecturers
into accurate notes. It saves time and also enables students, lecturers and researchers
to focus on their work efficiently. Many colleges, universities and technical institutions
require audio-to-text conversion of speeches, lectures, seminars, lessons etc. Recording
interviews or discussions and collecting data are the key elements in any research
process. Typically, recorded interviews are transcribed and maintained for future
reference. Academicians may have pages and pages of research data required for
research but just with a good digital recorder students or lecturers can dictate and then
convert their dictations into transcripts with the help of a transcription agency. This will
also help the researcher to focus more on the research.
Research is a systematic investigative process to review or build knowledge by
discovering new facts. The significance of a research paper depends on the problem
statement. Problem statement is the brief description of an issue to be addressed or a
condition to be improved upon. A problem statement is a clear description of the issue, it
includes a vision, issue statement, and method used to solve the problem. So here are
some tips to write a good problem statement.
•
Identify the research problem and define it: A research problem is defined
as an area of concern, a deviation in the norm or standard, or a gap in the
available knowledge that suggests the need for further understanding and
investigation. The research problem is what the researcher wants to solve; it may
also be the questions he/she wishes to answer.
•
Explain what the situation would be if this problem didn’t exist: This will
help researchers identify the factors that can confront the persisting of ideal
circumstances.
•
Explain your issue: Making your readers understand the problem statement is
important. Words like “However” or “Unfortunately” can be used to link the ideal
situation with preventing factors.
•
Support your research findings: It is important to back up your research
based findings. The backup are references from relevant literature. Significance
should be given to the most relevant studies, especially studies conducted in local
settings. Proper citation shows how important it is to solve the problem.
•
Find out a solution: After explaining the problem statement, suggest the
appropriate solution for it. The solution to the problem statement should be
concise, simple and logical and this will add value to your research work.
•
Explain the advantages of the solutions: After the successful interpretation of
an appropriate solution for the problem statement, the next step is unveiling how
the proposed solution is important to minimize cost and maximize benefits.
