Frequently asked questions

Upload your WAV file and choose human transcription for the highest accuracy or AI for speed and budget. Human projects are edited end-to-end for up to 99.4% accuracy, while our AI suits clear audio with quick turnaround. Editors see the full file for quality control, and transcribers work on segmented audio to protect privacy. Start with the secure uploader at order human transcription.

Yes, we produce SDH captions from WAV audio that include speaker IDs and relevant sound cues for accessibility and broadcast compliance. You can request formats like SRT, VTT, and SCC and add frame-accurate timestamps for e-learning and OTT delivery. To begin, upload your audio and select captioning at order SDH captions.

Turnaround depends on length, audio quality, and whether you choose human or AI service. AI returns files quickly for clear audio, while human transcription includes multi-step editing for accuracy and can include rush options on request. For the fastest self-serve option, try order AI transcription.

Pricing depends on audio length and add-ons like timestamps, SDH cues, and verbatim level. Human transcription is priced per audio minute with optional rush, while AI is lower cost for clear audio and fast needs. See current human rates at human transcription pricing.

Yes, the Transcription API accepts WAV and supports authentication, project scoping, and webhook callbacks for status and delivery. You can automate uploads, receive job events, and control who can access results across teams and environments. Explore endpoints and examples at the Transcription API documentation.

Enterprise customers can enable SSO, role-based access, NDAs, and project-level permissions to manage PHI/PII and multi-team workflows. Dedicated account management and custom onboarding are available for broadcast, education, and legal use cases. See what’s included on Enterprise transcription solutions.

When AI struggles with accents, crosstalk, or technical terms, use human proofreading to repair the file or switch to fully human transcription for best results. A trained editor corrects terminology, adds speaker labels, and fixes timestamps to raise quality significantly. Upload your draft at order AI transcription proofreading.

Yes, we transcribe the WAV, then translate for subtitles or captions in languages such as Spanish, Arabic, French, and more. You can request subtitle formats (SRT, VTT) with character-per-line limits for e-learning and broadcast QC. For teams planning global rollouts, see enterprise translation solutions.

Contact Sales when you need a custom quote, a security questionnaire, SSO setup, bulk procurement, or a formal SOW. This is common for broadcasters, universities, and healthcare groups integrating SDH workflows or PHI handling. If you’re ready to self-serve, you can still start a standard order online.
