Transcription services
When talking about transcription in the world of translation, we are referring to rewriting the content of a printed or handwritten text into digital format. But it’s not just that; the content of an audio or video file can also be transcribed and converted into a digital text format.
Below, we’ll look at the two types of transcription available for audio and audiovisual documents.
Do you also need a transcription?
Types of transcription
Verbatim transcription
In a verbatim transcription, we will write down every word heard in your audio exactly as spoken.
This way, it will be an exact replica of the audio file you need transcribed. This includes: grammatical errors, idiomatic expressions, stutters, etc.
Example of a verbatim transcription:
Er… yes, good morning, can you hear me? Yes? Right, I’d like to get a quote, yes, a translation quote for… for my website.
Natural transcription
In this type of transcription, the message is what matters, so we will interpret what the speaker is trying to convey, removing stutters, grammatical errors, inappropriate expressions, etc.
This gives you a natural transcription that allows you to understand the message clearly and concisely.
Example of a natural transcription:
Good morning. I’m calling because I’d like to get a quote for the translation of my website.
