Frequently Asked Question
![overlay image]()
Yes, on the same terms as anywhere else. Files move online in both directions, so nothing depends on post or opening hours in South Africa, and the written quote is issued before any work starts. Most of it comes from courts and commissions working across several official languages, and from mining, finance and manufacturing companies.
Yes - spelling, date order, currency and legal terminology follow South African usage instead of a US default, and that is set per order. It matters most in anything read by a court, a regulator or a client in South Africa, where the wrong convention undermines the document before it is read.
All of the usual methods are accepted: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Square, wire transfer and checks. Businesses can be invoiced monthly against a purchase order, and everyone else pays on approving the quote. A purchase order number can be quoted on the invoice where your finance team needs one. Clients abroad pay in US dollars, and the figure is fixed at quoting stage, not at the exchange rate on the day.
Zulu, Afrikaans, Xhosa, Sotho and English are the most requested alongside English, with 100+ other languages available. Each file goes to a native speaker of the language, and material that moves between languages partway through keeps each one as it was.
General transcription starts at $1 per audio minute and legal transcription at $2. The rate is the same whichever time zone picks the work up, so an overnight hand-off costs no more than a daytime one. Rates are the same for clients in South Africa as anywhere else, quoted in writing before work starts and never adjusted by market. Nothing starts before you approve that figure in writing, and the invoice matches it exactly.
It depends on length and on how difficult the source is, and the time is in the quote before you commit. Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours covers the urgent end. Work passes between teams in different time zones, so your files keep moving while your own office is closed. The time-zone gap works in your favour, because material sent at the end of the working day in South Africa is worked on overnight.
Work is done by human transcribers and compared with the original before it is sent, which is how the 99+% accuracy standard is met. Each hand-off between time zones is a fresh pair of eyes on the file, not a gap in the chain. Conventions differ between markets, and a file written to the wrong one reads immediately as though an outsider produced it, which is what mining, finance and manufacturing companies notice first. One person working alone would not catch a mistyped name or a passage of crosstalk recorded as one speaker.
Only the people doing the work can open your material, and all of them are under NDA. Cross-border transfer is encrypted end to end, so nothing sits on a third-party server between South Africa and the people working on it. Transfer is encrypted in both directions, and deletion on an agreed schedule can be set up where your records require it.
In the format your workflow already uses, with real styles and structure instead of flat text, so the file drops into your records without reformatting. Spelling, date order and currency follow South African usage instead of a US default, and that is set per order. Finished files are emailed the moment they clear review, whatever the hour is where you are.
Upload the material, approve the written quote and deadline, and work begins - no deposit, no account to set up. Upload whenever it suits you, because there is always a team on shift and nothing waits for morning. Say which market the finished file is for, because South African conventions and US conventions are not interchangeable. Anything ambiguous is queried with you before work starts.
