Transcription

 

Transcription refers to the process of converting audio or video content into a written format either in verbal or non-verbal language. This method provides added value to many companies along with the subtitling of videos and audios for the development of advertising, commercial and marketing content.

It is not possible to use any computer programme capable of transcribing correctly as it is a type of artisanal work that cannot be automated due to several factors, such as subject matter, accents, punctuation and context, must be taken into account.

Although nowadays human translation and transcription are still essential to maintain quality standards, technology makes it easier and faster to carry out transcription work, so the combination of the two is ideal to achieve a quality service in record time.

What do I need transcriptions and translations for?

 

Transcription and translation services are often used in different fields and scenarios.

Commercial and advertising videos. In the world we currently live in, companies must know how to adapt to their target audience and that is why more and more companies are transcribing commercial and advertising videos to expand their business into an international market, increase sales and grow their positioning.

Speeches and conferences. There are many high-impact international conferences and lectures where audio transcription services are a key element to document the event and, if necessary, translate it into the respective language.

Judicial acts. In legal proceedings, the audio or video of the event is usually recorded to be able to analyse what happened afterwards. Due to this, it is often necessary to transcribe what happened in order to have everything documented.

Dubbing. The transcription of the script of audio or video files in any language is necessary for dubbing.

What types of transcriptions are there??

 

Verbatim transcriptions

A verbatim transcription is a transcription that accurately captures the words and sounds of the audio or video. It includes both mumbles, mistakes, unfinished words, sounds and others.

For example, “Yesterday I was, uh…, at home, although…, well, I was only there for 20 minutes while I was getting ready”.

This type of verbatim transcription is used in court proceedings, investigations or medical analysis where any details given may be relevant to the case.

 

Natural transcriptions

Natural transcriptions are the most commonly used technique as they consist of eliminating all irrelevant information, such as stammering, interjections, interjections and others, resulting in a clearer and more professional text.

For example, the following sentence transcribed literally, “Well… eh…, well eh…, I don’t remember well, what I saw was eh… a man in a shop” would naturally be transcribed as follows, “Well, I don’t remember well, what I saw was a man in a shop”.

As can be seen, in a natural transcription, the syntactic order and agreement are recomposed and corrected, thus improving the coherence and cohesion of the speech to make it easier to understand.

What is the price of a transcription?

The price of a transcription depends on several factors:

– Length of the video or audio

– Number of speakers appearing
