Rush delivery within 24 hours adds 50% (rush orders over 60 minutes are confirmed by our team). Timestamps every 5 minutes, every 2 minutes, at each speaker change or every 30 seconds are included at no extra cost for now. Quotes are valid for 7 days.
Medical recordings: We do not currently sign HIPAA Business Associate Agreements, so please don't upload recordings containing US patients' protected health information. De-identified recordings are welcome. For any other recording that identifies patients, email us before you upload so we can confirm we can take it on.
Three passes on every line
This is the same line from the deposition above, as it moves through an order.
First-pass draft
THE WITNESS: for years about maybe for and a half
Automatic speech recognition gets the shape. Names, numbers and homophones are where it slips.
Professional editor
THE WITNESS: Four years, about. Maybe four and a half.
An editor listens to the audio, fixes the words, punctuation and speaker labels, and applies your formatting.
Separate quality check
THE WITNESS: Four years, about. Maybe four and a half.
A second person spot-checks against the recording before it is signed off as a branded PDF, DOCX or TXT.

Questions people ask
Yes. Uploads, quotes, payments and delivery all run as normal; only the website is being rebuilt. Send files here or email support@soundtoscript.com.
You see an estimate as soon as you add your recordings. Once they are uploaded we measure them exactly, and your confirmed USD quote appears right on the upload page with a pay button — usually within minutes, and you pay there without leaving the page. If you've already left, the same quote arrives by email with a secure link to pay online. If a recording needs a closer look (difficult audio, another language, or a rush order over 60 minutes), our team sends the quote within 30 to 60 minutes during business hours, 08:00–21:00 UTC; files sent outside those hours are reviewed first thing the next morning. Quotes hold for 7 days.
Online, on the upload page or from the link in your quote email: by Visa or Mastercard card or M-Pesa, through Paystack. Payments are charged in Kenyan shillings at the day's exchange rate; your receipt always shows the USD amount. Work starts as soon as your payment is confirmed.
Yes. You pay on Paystack's own secure checkout, and we never see or store your card details or PINs. Your receipt is emailed automatically as soon as the payment is confirmed.
Nothing, and please don't pay again. Some payments, such as mobile money or cards your bank checks further, take a few minutes to confirm. The page updates on its own and your receipt arrives by email once it's confirmed. If you haven't heard from us within an hour, email us with your order reference.
No. Declined and cancelled payments aren't charged, and your quote stays open so you can try again, with the same method or another one. If money did leave your account, don't pay again: email support@soundtoscript.com with your reference and we'll check it with the provider.
We take one payment per order, and the payment page holds a second payment while the first is still processing. If a duplicate ever does go through, we refund it in full to the same method and email you to confirm.
By audio minute, in USD. Rates start from general $0.80, business $0.90, academic $0.95, medical $1.25, legal $1.40 and captions $1.50, with a $3.00 minimum. Rush delivery within 24 hours adds 50%. Timestamps are included at no extra cost for now. Difficult audio, heavy accents or many speakers can raise the rate; your quote always shows the final price before you pay.
Up to 1 GB of audio or video per order, plus up to 100 MB of supporting documents such as briefs, terms and speaker notes. Add them all in the same upload box. For larger jobs, email us a share link.
Audio and video files are scheduled for deletion after 90 days, so there is time to sort out anything about your order. Ask and we will delete them sooner.
Yes. Every transcription order passes three stages: a first-pass draft, a professional editor who corrects names, terms and speaker changes, and a separate QA check before delivery. Premium ASR, launching with the new site, is our fast option without the editing stages.
We do not currently sign HIPAA Business Associate Agreements, so please don't upload recordings containing US patients' protected health information. De-identified recordings are welcome. For any other recording that identifies patients, email us before you upload so we can confirm we can take it on.
