Frequently asked questions

Documentary transcription converts your interviews, narration, and natural sound into a searchable, timecoded text that supports SDH captions and compliance-ready deliverables. You can order human-made transcripts with speaker labels, timestamps, and SDH-ready notes, then export caption files for platforms like YouTube or broadcast playout. Start with SDH-ready captioning via order captions for documentaries.

Human-made documentary transcripts target 99.4% accuracy, suitable for broadcast and e-learning QC.

Yes, we create SDH captions and multilingual subtitles from your transcript, delivered as SRT, VTT, or other common formats. We include speaker IDs, sound cues, and timing to meet streaming and broadcast specs. For budget planning, see captioning rates for SDH and closed captions.

We align with HIPAA for PHI handling and follow GDPR principles, with PII protection, NDAs, and access controls. Editors can review full files while transcribers see segmented audio, reducing exposure. Learn more in the GoTranscript security overview.

We handle transcription, captions, and subtitles across many languages, with localized formatting and RTL support where needed. Deliverables include SRT, VTT, STL, and TTML, with style options for broadcasters and e-learning platforms. For large multilingual programs, explore enterprise translation and subtitling solutions.

Standard turnaround is set at checkout, with faster rush options for short and long-form content. You choose service level and deadlines based on file length and complexity, and we confirm delivery windows before work begins.

Pricing depends on audio length, service type, and add-ons like timestamps or SDH formatting. AI is faster and lower cost; human transcription is best for accuracy, cross-talk, accents, and domain terms. Compare options at human transcription pricing and options.

Common outputs include clean read or verbatim transcripts, speaker labels, regular or strict timestamps, and caption files (SRT, VTT). You can also request glossary adherence and editorial notes for fact-checking. Files are suitable for NLE workflows, e-learning LMS, and broadcaster ingestion.

Yes, the transcription API supports programmatic uploads, status polling, and webhook callbacks for job completion to streamline pipelines. It works with both AI and human services, letting teams trigger caption packaging automatically. Review options at the GoTranscript transcription API.

Enterprise plans can include SSO, role-based access, and project-level permissions for distributed teams. We can align on NDAs and security reviews for procurement.

“I've got one document translation using the API and it worked fine. One suggestion is that it would be better if the translation service can maintain the format of original document like text alignment and font styles. Thanks.”

“I used the human translation service and must admit, was sceptical at first as the cost seemed so low especially for a same day service. I was pleasantly surprised when within 10 hours the transcript was delivered, a perfect translation, only two minor typos which considering the size of the document, was impressive. I am in the UK and there were a couple of US spellings of British words, but that is not an error or criticism, but worth noting to British users. The document has time stamps and where audio was not legible, clearly shows this with timestamps. I have no hesitation of given 5 stars for this service and will not hesitate to recommend it.”
