# Transcription Quality Assurance

Transcription QA tasks ask you to transcribe fields and table cells. This task is identical to the Transcription Supervision task and entails typing the contents of a field or a table cell into the system.

## Transcription QA tasks

To start a Transcription QA task:

1. Go to **Tasks > Perform Tasks**.
2. Click on the **Perform Tasks** link for **Transcription QA**.

After you click the **Perform Tasks** link, you will then be taken to the Transcription QA task. There are two types of Transcription QA tasks:

- Field Transcription QA
- Table Transcription QA

You can complete Field Transcription QA tasks in the same way as you would a Transcription Extraction task. For more information, see [Transcription](/v43/docs/transcription).

To learn how to complete Table Transcription QA tasks, see the [Completing Table Transcription QA tasks](/v43/docs/transcription-quality-assurance0#completing-table-transcription-qa-tasks) section below.

### Field Transcription QA

Field Transcription QA tasks are specific to Structured and Semi-structured documents with fields.

#### Enable Field Transcription QA

Field Transcription QA samples on a field level. For example, if you have submitted a document with 10 fields and your sampling rate is 10%, only 1 field will be sent for QA. You can set your Field Transcription QA sample rate on a flow level. For more information, see [Flow Settings](/v43/docs/flow-settings).

To enable Field Transcription QA, you need to:

1. Go to **Flows**.
2. Click on a flow.
3. Enable **Transcription Quality Assurance** in the left-hand sidebar.
4. Click **Save**.

### Table Transcription QA

Table Transcription QA tasks are specific to Semi-structured documents with tables. Table Transcription QA samples on a cell level. For example, if you have submitted a document with 100 cells and your sampling rate is 10%, only 10 cells will be sent for QA. You can set your Table Transcription QA sample rate on a flow level. For more information, see [Flow Settings](/v43/docs/flow-settings).

#### Enable Table Transcription QA

To enable Table Transcription QA, you need to:

1. Go to **Flows**.
2. Click on a flow.
3. Enable **Table Transcription Quality Assurance** in the left-hand sidebar.
4. Click **Save**.

#### Completing Table Transcription QA tasks

During Table Transcription QA, you need to enter transcription values for each table cell that is sampled for QA. Depending on the data type, a table cell may have formatting validations. For example, if the data type is SSN, the UI will show an error message if you try to enter a letter. For more information on this, see [What is a Data Type?](/v43/docs/what-is-a-data-type). The screen that appears as you transcribe a table cell also provides information on how to mark fields as illegible or N/A and how to override formatting validations.

Note that Table Transcription QA tasks are generated at a document level and include all parent and child table cells that are sampled for QA. You can find a list of all of a document’s table cells that are sampled for QA in the right-hand sidebar.
