Recordings in English, French and 300+ other languages, transcribed by people and translated when you need it.
Audio transcription turns a recording into a written record of who said what. Prism Linguistics transcribes interviews, hearings, police statements, research recordings, meetings and calls in English, French and 300+ other languages, and can translate the transcript into English or French when the recording is in another language.
Transcripts are prepared and checked by people, not left to automatic speech recognition. Upload the file or a link, tell us the language and the format you need, and you receive a fixed written quote, usually within 60 minutes.

Every meaningful word, with fillers and false starts removed so the transcript reads easily. Suits research, business meetings and media.
When a recording is in a language other than English or French, there are two common routes. The first is a transcript in the original language followed by an English or French translation, often laid out side by side, which lets anyone check the translation against what was said. The second is a direct English or French translation of the recording, which is quicker when only the meaning is needed. For evidence, the first route is usually the safer choice. Tell us how the transcript will be used and we recommend the right one.
If the translated transcript is going to a court, tribunal or immigration authority, ask about a certified translation.
Every transcript is checked before it is delivered.
The price and turnaround depend on the length of the recording, the language, the audio quality, the number of speakers, the transcript style and whether translation is included. You receive a fixed written quote with a delivery date before work starts. Recordings with video can also be transcribed with time codes; see video transcription.
Transcripts are prepared and checked by people, not left to automatic speech recognition. A second linguist checks each transcript against the audio before delivery.
A verbatim transcript records every word as spoken, including fillers and false starts, which is often needed for legal recordings. Clean verbatim removes fillers and false starts so the transcript reads easily.
