Academic Transcription

• A professional transcription service should prioritise accuracy and reliability in terms of meeting deadlines, speed and security.  But whilst speed is important, it should not come at the expense of accuracy. At Transcribe It we strike the right balance between delivering digital audio transcriptions on time, without ever compromising on quality.
• Security of your data should be paramount. Transcribe It prioritises the privacy of your data and employs robust security measures, adhering to the National Centre for Cyber Security’s 14 Cloud Security Principles. Here is a small sample of Transcribe It’s testimonials:

“I was delighted with the service I received from Transcribe It. The company processed a lengthy conversation involving Swahili words and phrases efficiently and accurately. Your communication was clear and timely, and the staff I dealt with – friendly and professional. I will definitely use Transcribe It again, and I will be recommending the company to friends and colleagues.” Professor, University

You now have three clear choices when deciding how to have your audio or video transcribed into text:

• Human transcription: Human transcription services are a great choice for producing clearly presented transcripts from the most simple to complex recordings. Completed by a professional transcriber, this method is suitable for a wide range of audio and video files.
• AI transcription: Voice recognition software and AI transcription uses advanced technology to convert audio or video files into text format.
• AI/human transcription hybrid: A professional human transcriber checks and corrects AI generated text, fixing errors, improving grammar, and structuring sentences so they make sense and are factually correct.

• We specialise in human and hybrid transcription. While we don’t offer standalone AI transcription, our hybrid service combines AI speed with human accuracy checking, ideal for large volume projects where pure AI output isn’t accurate enough.

• Human transcription: The human ear is our most significant advantage, enabling Transcribe It’s team of professional transcribers to produce an accurate reflection of a discussion, capturing language nuances, accents, and the context of conversation.

Human transcribers turn audio into text by offering an extra layer of quality control, they proofread transcripts, ensuring that the final transcript is free from errors, inconsistencies or misinterpretations. Human transcription is particularly vital in specialised fields such as police interview transcription, academic research transcription, HR and tribunal transcription, medical transcription and legal transcription.

Human professional transcription services offer a higher level of data security and confidentiality than AI can. This is crucial for sensitive content such as HR investigation interviews, research interview transcription, pharmaceutical research, public health research, where data breaches can have severe consequences.

Transcribe It LISTENs to a discussion, we don’t just HEAR it.  We have vast experience in transcribing recordings, from the most simple dictation to the most complex of recordings, turning any audio or video interview, meeting or tribunal into a clearly presented, accurate transcript.

• AI transcription: AI offers speed, it’s cheap and it’s scalable, and can process really large volume projects quickly, that would not be affordable to have transcribed by a human.

Automated systems do however struggle with accuracy, in terms of nuance, jargon and understanding accents. The transcript layout is often jumbled, sentences and paragraphs run into each other and speakers are misidentified. They can even miss out large chunks of text all together.

• Hybrid AI transcription/human check and correction: Human transcriptionists identify and address errors related to accents, slang, technical terms, ambiguous language, and other nuances that AI might miss. They also ensure accuracy, clarity, readability and proper formatting according to specific client needs

Transcribe It is leveraging its years of human transcription expertise to enhance the accessibility of AI-generated content. By combining the human touch with the speed and efficiency of AI, we ensure transcripts that are not only fast but also accurate, clear, and reliable.
