Which option fits your project?

A quick guide to choosing a style and adding timestamps.

Clean verbatim removes filler words, stutters, and unnecessary repetitions. Full verbatim retains them. Both represent the conversation, but clean verbatim prioritizes readability, while full verbatim preserves more detail about how the words were spoken.

For example:

Full verbatim: "Um, we-we finished the project on Friday."

Clean verbatim: "We finished the project on Friday."

No. GoTranscript's clean verbatim transcription does not paraphrase speech or correct the speaker's grammar. It removes unnecessary speech clutter while retaining meaningful wording. Repetitions used for emphasis and words that affect meaning should remain.

A timestamped transcript includes timecodes showing where passages occur in the recording. For example, [00:01:30] refers to one minute and thirty seconds into the file. The sample on this page demonstrates timestamps at 30-second intervals.

Yes. GoTranscript lets you select transcript style and timestamping separately when ordering. Choose clean verbatim or full verbatim, then select the timestamping option you need. Adding timestamps does not change your chosen transcription style.

GoTranscript distinguishes speakers with consistent labels, such as Interviewer, Participant 1, or Speaker 2. Names are used when identified in the recording or supplied information. When a speaker's identity is uncertain, the label is marked accordingly rather than presented as confirmed.

GoTranscript uses [inaudible 00:01:24] when speech cannot be heard because of noise or recording quality, and [unintelligible 00:01:24] when speech is audible but cannot be understood. The timestamp identifies the passage so you can review it in the recording.

Choose clean verbatim when your priority is a readable record of the interview's content. Choose full verbatim when fillers, repetitions, and false starts matter to your work. Compare the examples above to see which level of detail fits your project.

Select "Order transcription," upload your audio or video, and choose clean verbatim or full verbatim. Add timestamping as needed, select your language and delivery option, and review the displayed price before checkout. These settings let you request the format demonstrated in the samples.
