Confirm Pricing & Timeline: Finalize the project cost and delivery date based on the audio length, quality, and complexity.
2. Initial Audio Review
Audio Quality Assessment: Listen to a brief portion of the file to evaluate audio clarity, speaker accents, and any background noise that might affect transcription.

5. Quality Assurance
Final Audio Check: Perform a final pass with the audio to confirm the transcript matches exactly and there are no unresolved sections.
Review Client Guidelines: Revisit client preferences to make sure the transcript adheres to all instructions regarding format and content.

FAQs
What types of audio files do you accept?
I accept most common audio file formats, including MP3, WAV, M4A, and AAC. If your file is in a different format, feel free to ask, and I’ll work to accommodate it.
What is the turnaround time for a transcription?
Turnaround time depends on the length and complexity of the audio. Typically, I can deliver transcripts for short files (under 30 minutes) within 24 hours. For longer files, delivery may range from 48 hours to 5 days. I also offer expedited services if you’re on a tight deadline.
Do you offer verbatim transcription?
Yes, I offer both verbatim and clean verbatim transcription. Verbatim transcription captures every word and sound, including filler words like "um" and "uh," while clean verbatim removes unnecessary fillers for a more polished transcript.
Do you transcribe multiple speakers?
Absolutely! I can differentiate and label multiple speakers in interviews, group discussions, podcasts, or meetings. Just let me know if you’d like specific speaker labels or general designations (e.g., Speaker 1, Speaker 2).
What if the audio quality is poor?
I do my best to work with audio of all qualities. However, if the audio is particularly challenging due to background noise, overlapping speech, or low volume, I may request additional time. I will flag any unclear sections for your review and clarification.
Can you add timestamps?
Yes, I can include timestamps at regular intervals (e.g., every minute) or at specific points when speakers change, as per your request. Let me know your preference when placing your order.
Do you offer confidentiality for sensitive content?
Absolutely. Your audio and the resulting transcript will remain confidential, and I am happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) upon request.
