There are many benefits to translating your video/audio into a foreign language. A foreign language transcript spreads the potential of your work to an international audience, or it helps you gain information from an international audience. Quality translated transcripts allow your target audience to interact with you and your content across different media. This can help you to achieve maximum visibility in overseas markets.
One of the most common transcription projects we undertake for our clients is the transcription and translation of recordings made during focus groups. If you need to get information on how to expand to a new market, focus groups can help give you the market research you need, and our transcription and translation services can turn audio files from these meetings into easy-read text file formats, saving you time and putting that knowledge at your fingertips.

All our fast transcription services are handled with care. Your project will be carried out by expert native transcribers from start to finish. We believe that native transcribers and translations mean that you can be sure of the best quality. Your transcript translation will flow and feel like everyday speech. Mother tongue transcribers also eliminate the risk of misunderstandings – some details of a language are noticeable only to natives, and if you have a native-speaking audience, they will likely be put off by stilted text.

Whether you need either accurate same-language or multi-language audio transcription services, we can help – from business transcription services, video transcription services, digital transcription services, or legal transcription services – we have experts with experience in your field.

A transcriptionist is a professional language expert who listens to audio or video files and converts them into texts. The audio can be recorded or live, though we mostly work with recorded audio, we can also work with live audio and offer transcripts or interpretation. Transcriptionists often specialise in specific fields, such as medical, legal, or technical transcriptionists. Specialists are especially recommended for any content that contains a lot of specialist language or terminologies. Legal and medical transcription needs in particular are much better handled by human experts rather than with automatic speech recognition software.

Typically transcripts are made in a 4:1 ratio. It means that for every one hour of an audio file, it will take about 4 hours of work to write out a transcript. However, it may take longer to transcribe specialist content such as medical recordings. It can also take longer if there is poor audio quality. We offer both per audio minute and per hour pricing for both audio and video format files.

There are 3 main types of transcript, though other types can be done as well:
·       Verbatim transcript: This can be the most time-consuming. It includes all filler words, emotions, and noises.
·       Edited transcript: This does not include every part of the dialogue. Filler words will be removed, as long as the meaning of the recording is maintained.
·       Intelligent transcript: This will keep the level of the language as accurate as possible, but it will remove unwanted words from the recordings. This is best used when you need to transcribe audio and have it translated.
For inquiries about our transcription service online, please get in touch with us. Our customer service is available any time day or night to answer questions about your online transcription needs. You can also see our testimonials and reviews.

The exact time it takes will vary a lot depending on several factors. This is often the case with language work. Simple audio with short sentences and a generally simple subject can often be quicker to transcribe compared to more complex recordings – this means that recordings in a specialist subject, uncommon language, or a recording with multiple speakers can take longer. Generally, it takes around four hours to transcribe one hour of audio.

Transcription is a specialist field that takes a lot of training to do properly. We only hire expert linguists who have the right skills and qualifications to make accurate transcriptions. Budding transcriptionists can be self-taught. It is possible to learn these skills yourself, though there are also qualifications you can get. The work can be done from anywhere with a computer and an internet connection which means we can use transcriptionists who are native speakers of languages spoken in different parts of the world.. We pride ourselves on the hard work we put in to make sure the transcriptions are accurate and completed quickly.

While there are options for transcription services that use artificial intelligence and automated speech recognition, we believe the best way to get your recording transcribed is to use a professional human-led service. Artificial intelligence is not as accurate as human experts, and automatic software may struggle more with background noise, poor audio quality, or different voices. Some people also worry that using automated software may lead to a lack of confidentiality. We offer a foolproof and complete confidentiality agreement to all our clients, as a standard part of our service.
