Transcription and Typing

Audio Transciption Services:

Transcription from Standard, Mini and Micro Cassettes as well as digital files as required.  We can transcribe any level of detail you require, from true verbatim to summary.  Interview transcription is a speciality, and we are sure you will be happy with our transcript format, which has evolved over many thousands of audio hours’ worth of transcription.  Our professional and experienced transcribers can produce transcripts from virtually any digital audio format, including DSS, WMA, MP3, MP4, AVI, VOB, WAV, DVD.  Some formats such as AMR, Webex and streaming audio may attract further charges.

Verbatim Transcription:

Everything recorded in the transcript is typed up.  This will include erms and ers, you knows, repetitions etc.  Coughing, pauses, laughter etc., is put in brackets.

Intelligent Verbatim Transcription:

The typist will use his/her commonsense and eliminate erms, ers, you knows, repetitions and other irrelevant conversation in order that the transcripts read sensibly but with all the relevant information.  Abbreviations are transferred to full grammar in order that the completed transcript reads in a good standard of English and contains material relevant to the subject matter.

As a rough guide you should allow at least 4 (four) hours of transcription time for 1 (one) hour of your recording time.  Transcription times vary depending on :-

  • The clarity of the person speaking
  • The quality of the tape
  • Regional accents of the speaker/s
  • The number of people speaking together (microphone use)
  • The speed at which people speak
  • The complexity of the content i.e. highly technical
