I sent over recordings from a recent panel discussion, some parts were tricky with background noise and multiple speakers talking at once. They managed it brilliantly, and I got the transcript back earlier than expected. Great job.
I had audio from a client meeting that needed transcribing urgently. They were quick, accurate, and didn’t miss any important details, even with specialised terms. Really made things easier for me.
Needed transcription of interview recordings for our documentary project. The audio quality wasn’t perfect, but they handled it without any fuss. The final transcripts were clear, accurate, and super helpful. Would definitely use them again.
