Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What file types do you accept?
A: For audio/video: MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, AAC, and common formats. For handwritten text: JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PDF scans, or clear phone photos. If you have a different format, contact us for alternatives.
Q: How do you handle poor audio quality or background noise?
A: We use experienced transcribers and noise-reduction tools to improve intelligibility. If audio is severely degraded, we provide a partial transcription and mark unintelligible segments with time-stamps (e.g., [inaudible 00:03:15]). We’ll recommend options such as audio cleanup or a lower cost for partial readability.
Q: Can you identify multiple speakers?
A: Yes. We provide speaker labeling (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, or named speakers if you provide names). For accuracy on speaker attribution, supplying a participant list or a short audio clip of each voice is helpful.
Q: What turnaround times do you offer?
A: Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days. Expedited delivery (24–48 hours) and rush/same-day options are available for qualifying short projects or at an additional cost. Large projects may require phased delivery.
Q: How accurate are your transcriptions?
A: For clear audio and legible handwriting, accuracy typically exceeds 98%. Accuracy depends on factors like audio clarity, speaker overlap, accents, and handwriting legibility. We note areas of uncertainty and mark them for review.
Q: Do you include time-stamps?
A: Yes. Time-stamping is available at regular intervals (every 30 seconds or 1 minute) or at speaker turns. Specify your preference during intake.
Q: Do you offer verbatim vs. clean-read options?
A: Yes. Verbatim includes every pause & filler word.
