Audio Transcription at a Glance
Transcription turns speech into a written record. It differs from translation into another language. Specify whether you need transcription alone or both services.
Clear speech matters
Noise, overlapping speakers and recording quality affect how clearly speech can be transcribed.
Agree the level of detail
Specify pauses, repetitions, speaker labels and timestamps required in the record.
Transcription or translation
Identify the spoken language and required output language. Translation can be scoped separately.
If the written output will be shown on video, see subtitle translation. Transcription, translation and subtitle timing are separate scope items.

Audio Transcription: Your Questions Answered
Is transcription the same as translation?
No. Transcription writes down recorded speech, usually in the same language. Translation changes the language. Request both if needed.
Can you transcribe a video?
Yes. Send your video and requirements for the written output. We deliver the transcript in SRT or TXT format; specify which you need.
Can you add speaker labels or timestamps?
Include these requirements in your request. The quote confirms the detail and output format.
What affects the price?
Duration, language, audio quality, speakers and transcript requirements affect the quote. Translation is a separate scope item.
Should I request a verbatim or edited transcript?
Specify how much spoken detail to retain. A verbatim brief can request repetitions and false starts, while an edited transcript brief can request more readable wording; agree the treatment before work begins.
What if speakers overlap or parts of the recording are unclear?
Send the clearest original recording and any speaker or terminology references. Ask how unclear passages will be marked in the transcript; missing or inaudible speech should not be filled in by guessing.
How do I start and when will I receive the work?
Use the quote button to open the online order page. Provide files, languages and requirements, then review the price and delivery estimate before paying. Turnaround depends on the confirmed scope.
