Verbatim Transcription Services

Verbatim transcription is transcription that keeps every word as spoken - false starts, repetitions, fillers and interruptions. The work is produced by people and not by software, and what shapes it here is teams in several time zones, so files move while your office is closed, so the deliverable fits how you actually work instead of a generic template. Every file is checked by a second reviewer before it is sent.

In practice: legal teams, researchers, investigators and anyone whose analysis depends on exactly how something was said. The common thread is that the finished file leaves their hands and is relied on by someone else, so it is checked against the source before delivery and anything uncertain is marked. Clients here are usually working to a deadline in a different time zone from the people doing the work.

You choose: editable Word or Google Docs, a searchable PDF for filing, or Excel where the content belongs in a table. The format for verbatim transcription is agreed at order stage, so the first delivery is the one you can file, send on or publish. Finished files are emailed the moment they clear review, whatever the hour is where you are. Send a template once and every later order follows it.

Non-verbal sounds such as [laughs], [sighs] and [pause 6 sec] can be included to the convention you use. That is settled before work begins and not discovered afterwards, so the first delivery is the one you can use. A file picked up in one region and finished in another carries its notes with it, so nothing is decided twice.

Clean-read versions can be produced from the same audio if you need both. That is part of what verbatim transcription means here, not an extra, and anything genuinely outside the brief is quoted before it starts. Delivery can be staged, with finished sections sent through as they clear instead of held to the end.

Yes. Verbatim transcription is available in 100+ languages, with every file going to a native speaker of the target language and a reviewer who also reads it. Language availability is checked across every region before a date is promised, not just locally. Where a language is rare, availability is checked before the quote.

General transcription starts at $1 per audio minute and legal transcription at $2. Verbatim transcription is quoted from the material you send, so a short job and a long one are worked out the same way. The rate is the same whichever time zone picks the work up, so an overnight hand-off costs no more than a daytime one. Quotes are calculated from how long the recording runs, how clear the audio is and how many people are speaking, so two clients sending comparable material pay the same, and nothing begins until you approve the written total.

Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours is available, and the delivery time is confirmed in writing before you pay. Work passes between teams in different time zones, so your files keep moving while your own office is closed. Verbatim transcription is scheduled against the people who actually do this work, not against a general pool. If a deadline cannot be met you are told at quoting stage, not on the day.

The 99+% accuracy standard comes from human work plus an independent check: one transcriber produces the file, another verifies it line by line against the source. Each hand-off between time zones is a fresh pair of eyes on the file, not a gap in the chain. What gets checked on verbatim transcription is the detail a reader would otherwise have to verify themselves: names, figures, terms and anything the source left ambiguous. That second pass is what catches a mistyped name or a passage of crosstalk recorded as one speaker.

It is handled by restricting access, not by promising discretion. Access follows the file across time zones but never widens: only the assigned team can open it. Verbatim transcription often involves material people would not want circulated, so the file is closed to everyone except the pair working on it. Everyone on the job is under NDA, transfer is encrypted, and your own confidentiality agreement is signed before work starts if you have one.
