Digital Transcription Service For Online And Offline

Digital transcription is transcription of digital recordings from recorders, phones and conferencing platforms. The work goes to transcribers who do this particular job every day, not to a general pool, and each file is checked against the source by a second reviewer before it is sent. This site is built around audio, video and document material in almost any format, including legacy media.

Yes. Digital transcription is available in 100+ languages, with every file going to a native speaker of the target language and a reviewer who also reads it. Older recordings often mix languages, and each one is kept as it was spoken instead of flattened into one. Where a language is rare, availability is checked before the quote.

Word, PDF, Excel, Google Docs or plain text, or your own template applied so the file comes back ready to use. Headings, tables and numbering are built properly instead of pasted in. Source material in almost any audio, video or document format is accepted, including formats most suppliers turn away. The format for digital transcription is agreed at order stage, so the first delivery is the one you can file, send on or publish.

Upload the material, approve the written quote and deadline, and work begins - no deposit, no account to set up. Say what the material is stored on, because an older format changes what has to happen before anyone starts work. Say what the digital transcription is for when you send it, because a filing, a publication and an internal record are formatted differently. Anything ambiguous is queried with you before work starts.

All of the usual methods are accepted: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Square, wire transfer and checks. Businesses can be invoiced monthly against a purchase order, and everyone else pays on approving the quote. Digital transcription is billed on completion against the approved quote, with no deposit taken up front.

Point out the passage and it is corrected at no charge, because revisions are free for 30 days after delivery. Corrections on digital transcription are usually about house style and not mistakes, and once yours is set it is applied to every later order. Where a name on an old recording turns out to be wrong, the fix is applied across the whole batch. Work that goes beyond the original brief, such as a different template or a new style, is quoted before it starts.

General transcription starts at $1 per audio minute and legal transcription at $2. Digital transcription is quoted from the material you send, so a short job and a long one are worked out the same way. Nothing starts before you approve that figure in writing, and the invoice matches it exactly.

Urgent work is covered by rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours, depending on length and how difficult the source is. Digital transcription is scheduled against the people who actually do this work, not against a general pool. Longer jobs are split across a coordinated team working from one style sheet, so speed never costs consistency.

Work is done by human transcribers and compared with the original before it is sent, which is how the 99+% accuracy standard is met. Degraded tape and low-bitrate audio go to people used to that loss, not to software that fills the gaps with guesses. What gets checked on digital transcription is the detail a reader would otherwise have to verify themselves: names, figures, terms and anything the source left ambiguous. One person working alone would not catch a mistyped name or a passage of crosstalk recorded as one speaker.

Files are handled under NDA, moved through encrypted transfer and seen only by the assigned team. Archive material is often the only copy in existence, so originals are logged, restricted and returned. Digital transcription often involves material people would not want circulated, so the file is closed to everyone except the pair working on it. They can also be deleted on an agreed schedule after delivery, with written confirmation.
