What is ‘verbatim’ transcription?

This is a full transcript of everything that is said in the recording including all the ‘erms’ and ‘ers’ etc.  These transcripts are often required for interviews by universities for qualitative analysis and by the legal profession.

What is ‘intelligent verbatim’ transcription?

All the ‘erm’ and ‘ers’ etc are omitted from the transcript and abbreviations are usually removed and replaced with formal terms eg ‘you’ve’ becomes ‘you have’ etc.

How long does it take to transcribe a recording?

We speak four times faster than we type. Generally, you should allow four times the length of a recording.  These are factors that could alter the time it takes to transcribe a recording ie audio quality, clearness of dictator, number of people speaking, background noise, speed of conversation, foreign accents etc.

What happens if you cannot hear certain words within a transcription?

If dialogue cannot be deciphered, we will put what we thought was said or if the word is totally inaudible – in either case we will highlight it in yellow.  We can mark the audio time next to the word in order that you can listen to it.

What happens if I require a fast turnaround?

This is not a problem but may be subject to an additional charge.
