Services · Transcription
Every word, in writing.
Accurate transcription of your audio and video, in 300+ languages, verbatim or clean, certified when it has to hold up. Human-led with expert QA, and a direct path from recording to a translated or subtitled transcript.
Transcription is the conversion of spoken audio or video into an accurate written record. Certified transcription adds a signed statement of accuracy for court, immigration, and official use. Foreign-language and multi-speaker audio needs native-language transcribers and human review, not commodity, AI-only tools.
Why it matters
When the transcript is the record, accuracy is everything
Two reasons commodity, AI-only transcription falls short of what serious work needs.
The transcript is the record
In a deposition, a courtroom, or a clinical chart, the transcript is the official record. A mis-transcribed word, name, or number can change a ruling or a diagnosis, which is why legal work demands true verbatim and certification, and medical work demands vetted, confidential handling.
Multilingual is hard
Foreign-language and mixed-language audio, accents, dialects, code-switching, multiple speakers, breaks generic AI. It needs native-language transcribers, correct speaker labelling, and often a transcribe-then-translate workflow that commodity per-minute tools don't offer.

FAQ
Transcription questions
A transcript delivered with a signed statement attesting it is a true, complete, and accurate record, used where the document must be official or admissible, such as court, depositions, and immigration filings. (It's distinct from certified translation, which certifies the accurate translation of a document.)
True verbatim captures every word, filler, false start, and non-verbal sound, the standard for legal and depositions. Clean (intelligent) verbatim removes "um/uh," fillers, and false starts for readability, ideal for meetings, focus groups, and media. We'll recommend based on your use case.
