Transcription Success Stories
See how we've helped organizations with their transcription needs
Philipp Winterberg
The Challenge
The author needed to translate a series of children's books into over 70 languages while maintaining the emotional impact and cultural relevance of the original stories.
Our Solution
We assembled a team of native-speaking literary translators with expertise in children's literature. Each translation was adapted for cultural context while preserving the author's voice and the educational value of the content.
“Day Translations understood the importance of preserving the heart of my stories while making them accessible to children around the world.”
Common Questions About Transcription Services
Quick answers to help you understand professional transcription services
How much does transcription cost?
Professional transcription costs $1.50-$3.00 per audio minute depending on turnaround time, audio quality, and complexity. Standard turnaround (3-5 business days) averages $1.50-$2.00 per minute. Rush transcription (24-48 hours) costs $2.50-$3.00 per minute.Medical and legal transcription with specialized formatting ranges from $2.00-$3.50 per minute. Verbatim transcription with speaker identification and timestamps costs 20-30% more than clean-read transcription. Most providers have a 10-minute minimum charge.
How long does transcription take?
Standard transcription turnaround is 3-5 business days for recordings up to 2 hours. Rush transcription delivers within 24-48 hours. Same-day transcription available for files under 30 minutes with premium pricing. Professional transcriptionists work at a ratio of 4:1 (4 hours to transcribe 1 hour of audio) for clear audio, or 6:1 for poor quality or technical content. Automated AI transcription with human review can deliver results in 2-4 hours for standard audio quality.
What is the difference between verbatim and clean-read transcription?
Verbatim transcription captures every word including filler words (um, uh), false starts, repetitions, and non-verbal sounds (laughter, pauses). Used for legal depositions, academic research, and detailed analysis. Clean-read transcription removes filler words and verbal tics while maintaining the complete meaning, creating a more readable document. Ideal for business meetings, interviews, and presentations. Verbatim costs 20-30% more and takes longer to produce. Most business clients prefer clean-read for better readability.
What file formats do you accept for transcription?
We accept all audio formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, WMA, and OGG. Video formats accepted include MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, and MKV. Files can be uploaded directly, shared via Dropbox/Google Drive, or recorded through phone/video conferencing platforms. Maximum file size is 2GB per upload. Larger files can be split or transferred via secure FTP. We deliver transcripts in DOC, DOCX, PDF, TXT, or SRT formats.
Why choose professional transcription over automated software?
Professional human transcription delivers 99%+ accuracy compared to 60-80% for automated software alone. Human transcriptionists correctly identify speakers, understand context and specialized terminology, handle poor audio quality and accents, and properly format complex documents. Critical for legal depositions, medical records, academic research, and business documentation where accuracy is essential. Our hybrid approach combines AI transcription with expert human review, delivering professional quality at competitive pricing.
