What is transcription?
Transcription is the process of converting spoken language from an audio or video file into a written document, known as a transcript.
This meticulous service is more than just typing what you hear. It involves a skilled transcriber listening carefully to a recording and accurately capturing the dialogue, nuance and context.
The final transcript can be formatted in various ways, such as verbatim or clean-read, and can include timestamps and speaker identification.
An accurate transcript is the foundation for many other services. It makes content accessible to the hard-of-hearing, improves SEO by making video searchable, and provides the essential source text for creating captions, subtitles or multilingual translations.
