The main reasons why media companies approach transcription companies are to save time and money. Media companies feel that this time and money can be used for other more productive purposes.

Transcription companies provide transcription service for interviews, News programs, talk shows, press conferences, etc. Companies even provide subtitling services to movies and TV shows.

Media companies also conduct focus group sessions to get an idea as what people think about a new law etc. These sessions can help not only governments, but also corporate companies.
