Combined Translation transcription Services

Translation and transcription together is the two-step route from foreign-language audio to English text, done as one order. The work goes to linguists 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. Translation and transcription together 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.

Work is done by human linguists and compared with the original before it is sent, which is how the 99+% accuracy standard is met. What gets checked on translation and transcription together 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. One person working alone would not catch a detail that is right in one file and wrong in the next.

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. Translation and transcription together 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.

Word, PDF, Excel, Google Docs or plain text. Source material in almost any audio, video or document format is accepted, including formats most suppliers turn away. The format for translation and transcription together is agreed at order stage, so the first delivery is the one you can file, send on or publish. Your house template can be applied from the first order, which is what keeps a set of documents looking like one set.

Send the files or a link, say what you need and when, and an exact quote comes back within minutes. Once you approve it the work goes to a linguist suited to the material. Say what the material is stored on, because an older format changes what has to happen before anyone starts work. Say what the translation and transcription together is for when you send it, because a filing, a publication and an internal record are formatted differently. Revisions are free for 30 days after delivery.

Payment is by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Square, wire transfer and checks, and businesses and institutions can be set up on monthly invoicing instead of paying per job. Archives, broadcasters and institutions sending media in batches are invoiced monthly instead of item by item. Translation and transcription together is billed on completion against the approved quote, with no deposit taken up front. The price you approve in the written quote is the price you are charged.

Revisions are free for 30 days after delivery. Tell us which page, line or timestamp is wrong and a corrected file comes back, usually the same day. Corrections on translation and transcription together are usually about house style and not mistakes, and once yours is set it is applied to every later order.

Transcription starts at $1 per audio minute and translation at $0.10 per word. What moves the figure is what the material is, how long it runs and how quickly you need it back, so the quote is built from your actual files and not from a rate card. The source format makes no difference to the rate; digitising legacy media appears as its own line in the quote. Translation and transcription together is quoted from the material you send, so a short job and a long one are worked out the same way. You get an exact total in writing before anything starts.

Urgent work is covered by rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours, depending on length and how difficult the source is. Legacy media such as tape, MiniDV, DAT or optical disc adds a digitising step, and that is quoted and scheduled up front. Translation and transcription together 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.
