Our transcription process

We combine AI-assisted drafting with human review and proofreading so the final transcript reflects the recording accurately and clearly.

STEP 1

FIRST STEP OF THE PROCESS

Place an AUDIO file into the AI software for transcription, with the assistance of a Human.

STEP 2

SECOND STEP OF THE PROCESS

The editor, after comparing the transcript with the recording, transfer them to the proof reading department.

STEP 3

FINAL STEP OF THE PROCESS

Transcripts will then be proof read, then a soft copy gets to be sent to the client.

Verbatim Transcription Types

Our default transcription type – Clean Verbatim, with no time stamps, is the most popular.

There are two Verbatim transcript types you can choose from when ordering transcripts, together with two time stamp options.

These options can be selected once you Get Started and your Transcription Quotation is created.

CLEAN VERBATIM

(Standard/Default)

The transcription excludes: all utterances that are not words eg. um, uh huh, mmhm..

FULL VERBATIM

The transcription includes: All verbal utterances such as um, uh huh, mmhm.

Does not include non-verbal communication such as laughter, crying, emotions or pauses.

TIME STAMPS

Every 2 minutes or more.

TIME STAMPS

On Speaker change.
