Speech Transcription

Speech Transcription

A speech is written to be heard once. A transcript is what makes it quotable, searchable, and useful to everyone who was not in the room.

We transcribe lectures, keynotes, presentations, and political speeches into documents you can publish, excerpt, or file. The audience gets the full text rather than their own partial notes. Press and researchers get something they can quote exactly. You get a record of what was actually said, which matters most precisely when it is contested.

Speech audio is usually one voice, which is the easy part, and a large room, which is not. Echo, a distant microphone, an audience, and a question session where the questions are inaudible. Every transcript is edited and checked by real people, including a pass where an editor listens to the recording while reading the words. Specialist vocabulary, cited works, and the names of people and organizations are researched rather than guessed at.

Choose the level of attention the occasion deserves: three services, from clear audio on a flexible timeline through to material that has to be right and has to be quick. The same work covers podcast transcription, sermon transcription, and business transcription.
