General transcription
Interviews, podcasts, calls, sermons and lectures turned into clean, speaker-labelled transcripts. Every file is drafted, edited by a professional who listens to the audio, and checked by a second person before it reaches you.
Each speaker is labelled, each turn is punctuated as normal sentences, and the words are the ones that were said. We keep repetitions and false starts and leave out hesitation sounds such as um and uh, so the transcript reads cleanly without being rewritten.
Words that can't be made out are marked [inaudible] with a timestamp. They are never guessed, so you can always go back to the recording and check.
Every recording is graded A to D before you pay. Clear and fair audio (A and B) costs the standard rate; difficult audio costs more only on the recordings that need it, and you see each grade and the reason on your quote.
Transcripts are accurate to the audio: what's written is what was said. If one falls short, we re-edit it free within 48 hours, and any refund is considered case by case.
You pay for the work your recording actually needs, and you see why before you pay.
Each recording is measured to the second. You pay per audio minute, rounded up once per order, never per file.
Every recording is graded on how hard it is to transcribe: how clearly the words come through, background noise, recording level, distortion and overlapping speakers.
Your quote lists each recording's grade and the reason. Think a grade is wrong? Email us before paying and a person checks it.
What's written is what was said. If a transcript falls short, we re-edit it free, and every grade gets free corrections for 14 days. How the guarantee works
