Transcription services for interviews, hearings and meetings. In the original language or translated.
Legal teams, businesses and researchers need written records of what was said. We turn audio and video recordings into transcripts that can be read, checked and shared, including recordings in other languages.
What we transcribe.
We work from audio and video recordings, for internal use or for sharing with other parties.
| Recording | Typical uses |
|---|---|
| Interviews | Witness interviews, staff interviews, research interviews |
| Hearings | Recorded legal hearings, proceedings, witness evidence |
| Meetings | Board meetings, business discussions, consultations |
| Calls | Telephone interviews, recorded client calls, conference calls |
| Other recordings | Presentations, recorded statements, training sessions |
Original-language and translated transcripts.
You can have a written record of the words spoken, or a transcript translated for someone who speaks another language.
If your recording is in French and you need a French transcript, we can prepare one. If you need the conversation in English, we can produce a translated transcript.
Tell us which languages are spoken and who will read the finished document. For recordings involving several languages, we can discuss the best way to present the transcript.
If you need language support during a live conversation, see our interpreting services. For text that appears on screen during a video, see our subtitling services.
Transcription for interviews and hearings.
A written record makes it easier to review evidence and refer to particular parts of a conversation.
For a witness interview or recorded hearing, the exact words may matter. Tell us if you need a word-for-word transcript, speaker labels or timestamps. We can agree on the format before the work begins.
Recordings sometimes contain overlapping speech, unfamiliar names or passages that are difficult to hear. We can flag words that cannot be established from the audio rather than put something into the transcript that the speaker may not have said.
We also provide legal translation services for witness statements, correspondence and other documents that accompany recorded evidence.
Tell us about the recording.
The quote form takes the details first. We'll reply asking for the recording itself.
A short recording with clear speech is a different job from a long meeting with several people talking over one another. We'll take those details into account when preparing your quote.
- The recording's approximate length and number of speakers
- The language or languages spoken
- Whether you need an original-language transcript or a translation
- Your deadline and any requirements for speaker labels, timestamps or layout
Common questions.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can you transcribe recordings in languages other than English? | Yes. We can produce transcripts in the language spoken or translate them into English or another language. Tell us which languages are used in the recording and which language you need for the finished transcript. |
| Will the transcript include every word? | We can prepare a word-for-word transcript, including repetitions and unfinished sentences, or a cleaner reading version. Tell us how the transcript will be used. We can also discuss speaker labels and timestamps before quoting. |
| Can you transcribe poor-quality audio? | We can assess the recording before confirming the work. Background noise, overlapping speakers and low volume can affect how much speech is recoverable. Where words cannot be understood reliably, we can mark the unclear passages rather than guess. |
| Can I use the transcript in court? | We can transcribe recorded interviews and hearings for legal teams. A transcript prepared from your recording is not automatically an official court transcript. If a court requires an authorised transcript or a particular format, check its requirements before ordering. |
| How much does transcription cost, and how long does it take? | The price depends on the recording's length, languages, number of speakers, audio quality and the type of transcript required. We provide a fixed price and delivery date within two hours during UK business hours, so you know the cost and deadline before work begins. |
