Speech Transcription Services

Speech transcription

Public speaking is the act of performing a presentation or giving a speech directly to a live audience in a structured manner, in order to inform, influence or entertain them. If a speech is given by a celebrity or an important political or social life figure, it can receive a lot of attention in society and media. Journalists comment, evaluate and analyze these on a regular basis. To understand these comments, it is necessary to hear the speech on your own or to have a copy of the transcription.

Speech transcription is beneficial not only for members of the media. Everybody benefits from it. Having a copy of the transcription allows one to deconstruct the speech and its structure, and to analyze the rhetorical tools used. This makes it a good method for learning how to write speeches. Sometimes the most important public speeches and their transcriptions are passed to the future generations as historical evidences. For example, “I Have a Dream” by Martin Luther King is so well-known and quoted today because its transcription is readily available.

It's the process of turning recorded audio into text. A transcriber listens to a recording or an audio track from a video and turns it into a formatted text document. The transcription is produced in the same language as the recording and stays true to the recorded speech and sound events. While stutters and false starts are omitted (except in full verbatim transcription), we do not summarize, paraphrase, or correct any grammar errors the speakers make.

We're unable to retrieve files if a website requires a password, a manual download, or other types of human interaction with the host. You can submit YouTube, Dropbox, Google Drive, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Facebook, Instagram, SoundCloud, BluCloud, Twitter, WeTransfer, Wistia, Zoom links. You can use other services as long as the URL leads to the file itself. If you're not sure if the URL leads directly to your file, all you need to do is try it out. Click the PASTE URL button, copy your link, and click ADD. If our system can't fetch your file, you'll get a notification.

Not by default. GoTranscript accepts a wide range of audio and video formats. We transcode those files to MP3 before our transcriptionists start working on them. They handle the audio portion of your material, but you can leave a note or get in touch with us if you need the video content transcribed.

The most significant influence on turnaround time is the audio quality of your recording. In most cases, challenging audio takes more time to transcribe. Things like heavy accents, lots of background noise, and highly technical content that requires lots of research usually take longer to transcribe than clear audio. Length of the recording also plays a factor here, and long files generally take more time.

The quality of your recording directly impacts the final transcript quality. For high-quality transcripts, clear audio with adequate volume and minimum background noise is a must. Here are a few simple tips you can follow to make sure your audio recording quality is top-notch!
