Recordings can include interviews, group discussions, internal meetings, research sessions, lectures, calls, hearings and other spoken content. The quality of the final transcript depends partly on the source recording, background noise, overlapping speakers and language clarity. Share the approximate recording length, number of speakers, languages and a suitable file format when requesting a quote.
A strict verbatim record may retain repetitions, pauses and false starts, while an edited transcription may aim for readability without changing meaning. Clarify whether timestamps, speaker labels, section headings or transcription conventions are required. For research or legal material, the client may have a specific supplied template that must be followed. The expected format should be agreed before work begins.
Transcribing what is said in the source language is not the same as translating it into English. Some projects require both, either in separate files or with aligned passages. Identify every language heard in the recording, whether the output should be monolingual or bilingual, and whether unclear speech should be marked. Do not assume that machine-generated text has been professionally verified.
Audio may contain personal, commercial or legally sensitive material. Use the established enquiry process to discuss secure handling and any agreement required. An audio transcript is a representation of what is audible, not proof that speakers’ statements are factually correct. Low-quality passages should be flagged instead of guessed, and legal evidential formatting should follow the receiving organisation’s instructions.
