Frequently asked questions

Verbatim transcription captures every word, filler, false start, and meaningful sound for precise context in captions and SDH. It’s best for documentaries, interviews, user research, and compliance-led e-learning where tone and pauses matter. SDH-ready outputs include non-speech elements like [laughter] and [music] cues.

GoTranscript’s human-made verbatim transcripts target 99.4% accuracy for clear audio, suitable for captions and localization workflows. Independent reviews reinforce this: Wirecutter (Sept 2025) called it “the best service for people who need the most accurate transcripts,” and PCMag (Apr 22, 2025) rated it 4.5/5 as excellent for accurate, affordable human transcriptions.

Yes, we generate SDH captions with speaker labels and non-speech cues from your verbatim transcript. Deliverables can match platform specs for e-learning LMS and broadcasters. Start with a verbatim transcript, then order SDH captions for video distribution.

GoTranscript aligns workflows for HIPAA-sensitive projects and supports GDPR-ready processing, with PII protection, NDAs, and access controls. Editors see the full file for QA while transcribers work on segmented audio to limit exposure. See security controls and data handling on the dedicated page: GoTranscript security and compliance.

Turnaround depends on length, audio quality, and options; most projects complete in 1–3 days, with rush available for shorter files. Larger multi-hour series can be scheduled in parallel across vetted linguists to meet production calendars without real-time claims.

Pricing is per audio minute, with add-ons for accents, timestamps, or strict verbatim, and separate rates for caption files. You can estimate costs and compare human vs automated options here: transcription pricing by audio minute.

If AI output misses jargon, names, or accents, order human proofreading of your AI transcript for higher accuracy. Upload the AI text and audio to align, correct, and timestamp for captions: order AI transcription proofreading.

Yes, enterprise accounts can enable SSO and granular access controls to separate projects by department or show. Legal and security reviews, NDAs, and custom onboarding are available for broadcast and education programs. For tailored setup, contact Sales via the enterprise page: enterprise transcription solutions.

Yes, the Transcription API supports job submission, status polling, and webhook callbacks for completion events. It integrates with MAM/LMS or custom pipelines for ingest-to-caption automation without real-time promises. See endpoints and auth details here: Transcription API documentation.

You can upload audio or video directly from your computer or cloud storage and choose verbatim with timestamps as needed. Most common formats are supported, including MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, and MOV. Begin here: upload files for human transcription.

Yes, trained linguists handle diverse accents, crosstalk, and multi-speaker diarization for interviews, panels, and field research. Verbatim plus speaker labels prepares content for subtitles and dubbing workflows without losing context.

Contact Sales for SOWs, security questionnaires, HIPAA addenda, bulk SLAs, or multi-language localization at scale. Enterprise requests may include SSO, audit requirements, SDH style guides, and API-based ordering across departments.
