    Unlock your recordings’ potential with our transcription services

    An accurate, time-stamped transcription is often a vital first step in producing clear, reliable translations of video and audio content — particularly when working with subtitles, voice-over scripts or multilingual edits.

    That’s why, alongside translation, we offer professional transcription services carried out by qualified transcribers experienced in handling media content. This ensures the source material is prepared correctly before the localisation process begins.

    By managing transcription and translation together, we can support the creation of your translated audio or video assets as a single, coordinated workflow. We work with a wide range of media formats, including:

     

    • Tape
    • Video
    • DVD
    • CD
    • Digital audio and video files

Where needed, we can also source and coordinate professional voice talent as part of the overall process.
