Transcription

What is transcription?

Transcription is the process of putting the content of an audio or video file into text. This service is used for a variety of purposes, such as to create subtitles or to have a written copy of a recording of a meeting or interview. Professional transcribers carefully listen to the audio or video file and transcribe it into a readable text format, which can be used in different contexts, such as in the business sector, in academia, or in the entertainment industry.

Accuracy is key in transcription, so advanced tools and techniques are used to ensure the accuracy of each transcript. Transcription services are becoming increasingly popular due to the growing demand for multimedia content and the need to create transcripts for use in different contexts.
