Education Transcription services

Education transcription is transcription for schools, colleges and training providers - lessons, meetings, hearings and recorded material. 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.

Mostly education administrators, teachers, SEN teams and training organisations. What they have in common is material that has to be exact and not roughly right, which is why every file is checked against the source before delivery. A lot of the work arrives from archives, estates and institutions digitising what they hold.

Yes. Education 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.

General transcription starts at $1 per audio minute and legal transcription at $2. The source format makes no difference to the rate; digitising legacy media appears as its own line in the quote. Education 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.

The delivery date is agreed before work starts, and rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours covers anything urgent. Material sent at the end of your working day is in progress overnight. Education transcription is scheduled against the people who actually do this work, not against a general pool.

The 99+% accuracy standard applies to every file, and it holds because each transcript is produced by a person and then checked against the source by a second reviewer. What gets checked on education transcription is the detail a reader would otherwise have to verify themselves: names, figures, terms and anything the source left ambiguous. Degraded tape and low-bitrate audio go to people used to that loss, not to software that fills the gaps with guesses. Anything genuinely unclear is flagged for you, never guessed at.

Yes. Everyone who touches your material signs an NDA, transfer is encrypted, and access is limited to the people assigned to the job, usually one transcriber and one reviewer. Education transcription often involves material people would not want circulated, so the file is closed to everyone except the pair working on it. Archive material is often the only copy in existence, so originals are logged, restricted and returned. Your own agreement can be signed before the first file is sent.

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. The format for education transcription is agreed at order stage, so the first delivery is the one you can file, send on or publish. Source material in almost any audio, video or document format is accepted, including formats most suppliers turn away.

Accessibility transcripts for recorded teaching are delivered in formats a VLE accepts. That is settled before work begins and not discovered afterwards, so the first delivery is the one you can use. Anything on physical media is digitised first, logged, and then worked from the digital copy.

Safeguarding-sensitive recordings are handled under NDA with restricted access. Nothing there is an upgrade, and work that falls outside the agreed education transcription brief is priced separately and only once you have agreed to it. A digital master of the source can be returned alongside the finished file where the original is fragile.
