Our Customers Say

I ♥ CastingWords.

"CastingWords seems like a magic trick to me—I babble for an hour, upload an MP3, and, somehow, they turn that into paragraphs. In, like, a day. It's nuts. Like making a lady disappear. Love these guys"
-MERLIN MANN

I also really appreciate your professionalism, prompt responses, and help.

"I had gone through three other companies before I found yours and it was a nightmare with those other three and such a gift to have found CastingWords. Your website is incredibly easy, appreciate how seamless the billing is and a relief that the documents are there for access at anytime. Your fees are the lowest for the highest quality."
-CARLA H.,
C&L PUBLISHING

We always come back to CastingWords.

"As an institution, we’re regularly invited to try other transcription services — but after each free trial ends, we always come back to CastingWords. Other companies’ products, customer service, and rates just can’t compete!"
-KEN GAGNE,
MASS. EYE AND EAR

This service is a keeper.

"I really love CastingWords. It is so great that one less thing in my Internet business requires me to deal with finding my a service provider myself. Not only is it cheaper than a solo transcriber would charge, the results are more predictable and it takes all of 2 minutes to request and pay for a transcription."
Chris Crompton

Wow!

"The Polish proper names were almost perfectly transcribed. Wow! Thank you!"

High quality, easy to use, reliable audio transcription services

Whether you have a couple of 30-second audio clips, hundreds of focus group recordings or need an transcription API integration, CastingWords has a transcription service that meets your needs. Researchers love our Budget service for thesis interviews or research studies.

Adding the timestamps upgrade allows journalists and reporters to zero in on quotable material when writing articles. Podcasters get episode transcripts for a great SEO boost, and of course the captions upgrade allows any transcript to be synced to video recordings to create onscreen subtitles or captions.

All of our transcription and editing is done by human transcribers, backed by custom QA and workflow software, to ensure quality and provide you the best transcription services available. And we back this all up with high quality customer support, to deal with special requests, and tricky problems.

With our simple interface and straightforward pricing, there are no surprises. Submit your streaming, video, or audio transcription requests via direct upload, Dropbox, Zapier, FTP, API, RSS, or simply provide a link to your YouTube or other hosted content. Then choose your product, add verbatim service or other upgrades if desired, get your pricing, pay and we'll get to transcribing!
