What does it mean to transcribe German to English?
German transcription converts spoken German from an audio or video recording into written text. When the required output is English, the spoken German is transcribed and translated so its meaning, terminology and context are represented clearly in written English.
German language support for spoken and written content
Translation, transcription and interpreting solve different communication needs. Each project is reviewed according to the source material, language direction, intended use and required output.

German-to-English transcription for recorded content
Recordings can require more than a word-for-word conversion. Names, specialist terms, numbers and context must be represented consistently so the finished transcript remains useful for its intended legal, research or business purpose.
State the output you need when requesting a quote. The team can review whether the project requires a German transcript, an English translation of the recording or both language outputs.
