    FAQs

    How do I find a good quality, digital transcription company?

    • 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:

    “‘The service I have received from Transcribe It is exceptional. The whole process is extremely smooth and easy, and the quality of transcripts is great! Transcripts are always delivered on time and the team, especially Nicki, are always so helpful and extremely quick to respond, on hand to help, if needed! Would not go anywhere else!” Research Analyst, National Healthcare Professional Organisation

    "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

    How can I have my audio or video transcribed into text?

    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.

    How do I choose between human transcription or AI transcription?

    • 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.

    How do I ensure my data is secure when using transcription services?

    • If you're looking for secure transcription for confidential or sensitive recordings, the best digital transcription should come from a UK based transcription company, and utilise robust security measures. They should have a transparent Data Protection Policy, detailing how data is collected, stored, used and protected.
