Audio Transcription Services
Human transcription for interviews, meetings, podcasts, research recordings, legal audio, lectures and other spoken-content files. Choose the transcript style, speaker labels, timestamps and turnaround that fit your project.
Audio and recording types we can assess
Different recordings create different transcription challenges, so the file is assessed before the quote and workflow are confirmed.
Interviews
One-to-one, journalistic, HR, academic and professional interviews.
Meetings & Focus Groups
Multi-speaker meetings, research discussions and group sessions.
Podcasts & Media
Podcast episodes, recorded features, raw media audio and production content.
Lectures & Research
Lectures, seminars, research interviews and qualitative recordings.
Choose the transcript style
The transcript should match how the text will be used, not just the recording itself.
Full Verbatim
Retains fillers, repetitions, false starts and other spoken features where the detail of speech matters.
Intelligent Verbatim
Removes non-essential verbal clutter while preserving meaning, producing a cleaner transcript for reading and analysis.
Custom Formatting
Add speaker labels, timestamps, headings, participant codes or an agreed structure for your workflow.
Audio quality makes a real difference
Background noise, overlapping speech, low volume, poor microphones, strong compression and distant speakers can all affect what can be heard reliably. If parts of the recording are unclear, those limitations should be identified rather than guessed.
What affects turnaround and pricing?
Quotes are based on the actual recording and output requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all estimate.

Audio transcription FAQs
What audio formats can you work with?
Common audio and video files can be assessed for transcription. If you are unsure about a specific file type, send the file details when requesting a quote.
Can speaker labels and timestamps be included?
Yes. Speaker labels, timestamps or both can be added where required and where the recording supports reliable identification.
What happens if some of the audio is unclear?
Unclear or inaudible sections can be marked rather than guessed. Audio quality is reviewed when the project is assessed.
What is the difference between full and intelligent verbatim?
Full verbatim retains fillers, repetitions and false starts. Intelligent verbatim removes non-essential verbal clutter while preserving the speaker's meaning.
Can multilingual audio be transcribed?
Yes. Depending on the language and project, same-language transcription or transcription combined with translation can be arranged.
How is the price calculated?
Pricing depends on factors including recording length, speaker count, audio quality, language, transcript style, deadline and any additional formatting requirements.
