Our Standards

Project Requirements and Review

Transcription requirements vary by project. The recording quality, language, number of speakers, terminology, timestamps, formatting and intended use should be reviewed before the scope is confirmed.

Attention to Names and Terminology

Provide speaker names, specialist terminology, acronyms or reference material where available. This can help reduce ambiguity in difficult or specialist recordings.

Certification and Intended Use

If a receiving organisation asks for a certified transcript, declaration or particular statement, provide its exact instructions before ordering so the required format and availability can be reviewed.

Transcript Formatting

Transcripts can be prepared with agreed speaker labels, timestamps, headings or other formatting requirements where these are part of the project scope.

Organisation-Specific Requirements

Courts, researchers, businesses, healthcare organisations and other recipients may have their own transcript format or evidential requirements. Check the applicable instructions and share them before the project begins.

What to Expect

Pricing and Delivery Timelines

Pricing and turnaround depend on recording duration, audio quality, number of speakers, language, subject matter, verbatim level, timestamps, formatting and deadline. A quotation can be confirmed after the recording or a representative sample is reviewed.
Speed

Expedited Service Options

Recording Duration

Longer recordings or multi-file projects are quoted according to the total audio or video duration together with the complexity and output requirements.

Language and Accent Requirements

Transcription availability depends on the spoken language, audio quality and subject matter. Send the recording or a sample so suitability can be checked.

Audio Quality and Specialist Content

Background noise, overlapping speech, specialist terminology, strong accents or poor recording quality can increase the review time and may affect what can be transcribed reliably.

Urgent Requests

For urgent transcription requests, send the recording as early as possible so file quality, duration and available turnaround can be checked.

How Transcription Is Quoted

Types of Content We Transcribe

Common projects include interviews, meetings, research recordings, hearings, professional discussions, webinars and other suitable audio or video content.

How Pricing Is Assessed

Transcription is normally assessed from the recording duration and project requirements rather than the final transcript word count.

Requested Delivery Time

Available turnaround and any urgent pricing depend on the recording duration, quality, language, speaker count and output requirements.

Additional Transcript Requirements

Tell us if you need speaker identification, timestamps, verbatim transcription, a specific template, time-coded sections or another output requirement so it can be included in the quotation.
