Human Transcription Services

Full Verbatim Transcription

Full verbatim transcription captures word for word everything that is being said in a recording, including all errors, filler words (“um”, “ah,” “like”, and “you know”), stumbles, pauses, throat clearing, non-verbal sounds (laughs, sighs), background noises and incomplete sentences. It is commonly employed in legal proceedings, academic researches and medical evaluations.

Intelligent Verbatim

Intelligent (clean) verbatim transcription retains some essential filler words and non-verbal sounds (such as laugher) for context but eliminates unnecessary ones like stutters and repetitive words. Additionally, it improves grammar for better readability, resulting in a concise and clear transcript. Consequently, it is commonly used for business meeting, interviews, Lectures and presentations.

Edited Transcription

The transcriber focuses on enhancing the readability of the text. They remove filler words, as well as other irrelevant elements. Additionally, they correct grammatical errors, restructure sentences, and occasionally paraphrase for clarity and conciseness. This approach is especially valuable for polished content in publications, reports, press releases, and marketing materials.

Automated Speech Recognition (ASR)

Machine transcription refers to the process of converting spoken language into written text using software. This can be done using specialised transcription programmes or artificial intelligence (AI). It offers a fast, cost-effective and scalable solution for converting speech to text, but is often less accurate and versatile than manual transcription, especially in more complex or specific contexts.

Advantages of Automated Transcription

Real-time transcription: Machine transcription is significantly faster than manual transcription. In many cases, it can transcribe an hour of audio in just a few minutes, making it particularly useful for large volumes of audio or video recordings.

Cost savings: As no human labour is required, machine transcription can save companies and individuals money, especially on larger projects.

Availability: Many transcription services are available around the clock. They do not require specialised resources and can be used immediately, making them a flexible solution.

Disadvantages of Automated Transcription

Error-prone: Machine transcription can be inaccurate with difficult or unclear audio recordings. It often has problems with strong accents, background noise, blurred speech or when several speakers speak at the same time. A machine transcription always requires post-editing by a transcriptionist.

Lack of contextualisation: machines have difficulty understanding the context or meaning of words, which can lead to misinterpretation, especially with homophobic words or technical terms.

Insufficient adaptation to specialised language: In certain specialised fields (medical, legal or technical transcription), machine transcription may have difficulty recognising the correct terminology and transcribing it correctly.

Privacy and security concerns: When using online transcription services, confidential or sensitive information can potentially be compromised if the data is stored or processed on servers that are not adequately secured.
