Professional Online Transcription Services
Transcription – the process of taking your audio or video files and writing down the content – is a crucial first step in localizing audio-visual assets. Once a file is transcribed, the transcription can be handed off to a professional translator to convert to another language, creating a usable script for voice or video actors to read from when creating multilingual podcasts, marketing videos, training videos, and more.
Transcription services are not only useful for the ease a transcription provides for translating your video and audio into other languages, it also helps boost web visibility. Transcribing videos or podcasts, for example, and including a transcription alongside these assets allows search engines to read and rank your content in the search results. Once a piece of content is transcribed, it’s also easier to transform it into a blog post, bite-sized pieces for social media, and more. Plus, your content becomes accessible to those who are hard of hearing.

Transcription Services FAQ
We do our best to complete all transcriptions in 1-2 business days. Once you open a project, you will see a more accurate time estimate at checkout that is based on your chosen language and word count. If you need to put a rush on your translation project, you can select the “Urgent Delivery” option at checkout or contact our support team to get your deliverables even faster.
Yes, we can! If a project is too big for one transcriber to complete in the time frame you need, we have a huge global network of over 25,000 transcribers ready to help. We can easily split your project among multiple transcribers to get your project done in the same amount of time as a smaller project.
Of course! You’ll just need to open a separate project in the Wizard for each language, as you can only select one language for transcription. However, you are able to upload multiple files in the same language under one project.
We are happy to offer this service. However, it will not be done under the same project. Once your transcribed files are returned to you, you are welcome to open a translation project in the Wizard, upload the written file, and request translation to as many languages as you need.
