Frequently asked questions

General transcription converts spoken audio or video into accurate text for search, captions, and archives. Video teams, e-learning managers, broadcasters, and localization leads use it to make content accessible, searchable, and reusable across platforms, learning systems, and regions, including adding SDH captions and transcripts that support compliance and better comprehension.

GoTranscript’s human-made transcripts target 99.4% accuracy on clear audio with native-language editors ensuring context and speaker IDs. Independent reviewers back this: Wirecutter (Sept 2025) wrote, “GoTranscript is the best service for people who need the most accurate transcripts.” Read Wirecutter’s detailed review.

Yes, we create SDH captions with speaker labels and non-speech elements to meet accessibility needs. Teams can upload media and choose SDH formatting for streaming platforms, LMS courses, and broadcast distribution. Start a captions order and include SDH instructions in the notes. Upload captions-ready files.

GoTranscript aligns processes for PHI handling and supports GDPR readiness with controlled access, NDAs, and optional EU data routing. Editors see the full file for quality; transcribers receive segmented audio to reduce exposure. Learn about encryption, access controls, and secure workflows. Review our security practices.

Typical turnaround ranges from 24 to 48 hours for standard projects, with same-day rush available on select files depending on length, audio quality, and language. Larger volumes and multi-language projects can be scheduled in batches to meet release calendars for e-learning courses and broadcast timelines.

Pricing is per audio minute and varies by service type, turnaround time, and options like timestamps or SDH. Human services cost more but deliver higher accuracy; automated is faster and lower cost for clean audio. See transparent rates and options. View human transcription pricing.

Yes, independent reviewers highlight value and usability. PCMag rated GoTranscript 4.5/5 (Apr 22, 2025), calling it “Excellent … best online transcription service for accurate and affordable human-made transcriptions … straightforward web interface.” See PCMag’s review.

Yes, the API supports programmatic ordering, status retrieval, and webhooks to notify your systems when jobs complete. Organizations can manage users and access, and integrate directly into MAM/LMS pipelines. Review endpoints, auth, and event payloads. See the transcription API documentation.

Use GoTranscript’s human transcription or send the draft for expert proofreading to correct names, terminology, and SDH cues. Proofreaders apply style guides and research context for better accuracy while saving time. Order AI transcription proofreading.

We apply encryption in transit and at rest, strict access controls, and NDAs. Editors review the full file for quality; transcribers work from segmented audio to limit exposure. Optional restricted teams and private projects are available for healthcare, legal, and enterprise workflows. Learn about our security controls.

You can start immediately by uploading files for human transcription, captions, or subtitles. For custom SLAs, SSO, security questionnaires, or a formal SOW, the enterprise team can scope requirements and pricing. Contact enterprise transcription solutions.

Yes, our human linguists create and QC subtitles for major languages, with style guides and reading-speed rules suitable for streaming and e-learning. Time-coded files can be delivered in SRT, VTT, or custom formats to match your platform. See subtitling rates and options.

I provided three stars for customer support, because I did not need customer support so I wanted to make it neutral. I believe your price is reasonable, but it is inline with industry standards.
