Why choose The Language Factory for your transcription solutions 

Our professional linguists produce the ideal product for your requirement.

Our transcription team are hand-picked for their experience of transcribing within your industry. Their expertise and knowledge of terminology, idioms and industry jargon ensure each and every audio file we transcribe is clear, unambiguous and carries the meaning of the original speech. 

For example, market research transcription often requires some cleaning up of the interview. This includes removing extra words, completing or deleting unfinished sentences, dealing with interjections and all the ‘ers’ and ‘uhms’. All the way, emphasis is given to readability – so vocabulary and grammar can be altered to give the smoothest possible rendering of the source.

However, for transcripts of legal interviews the exact audio file, word-for-word, is likely to need to be transcribed.

Source material formats

Whether you need a transcriber experienced in market research or who understands technical jargon, we can efficiently transcribe audio recordings across multiple 140 languages and in all common formats, including .wav, .mp3, .m4a, .wma and .mov.

And if you need both transcription and translation, our audio translation service can offer that too.
