Best Practices for Translation

Some of the best practices of translation:

BEFORE CALL

1. Surroundings:
   1. To join appointment, it is always advisable to choose a quite environment to lower the distractions.
   2. It is recommended to use a headset to reduce background noise and disturbance from surroundings.
2. Speech Clarity:
   1. It is recommended to speak closer to the microphone with a proper pace to maintain speech clarity. Speak small sentences for better performance of translation.
   2. Choose the right language accent for identifying speech accurately.
   3. Use the number approach when specifying a date. Spell out numbers e.g.; - 1-9-9-0 instead of saying nineteen ninety.
