What Is Transcription?

Transcription is the process of converting spoken content from audio or video into written text. It is used for meetings, interviews, hearings, lectures, podcasts, research recordings and any other situation where a written record is needed.

A transcript can be verbatim (word-for-word including filler words) or clean (edited for readability). It can be produced in a single language or combined with translation into another language.

At TTC, we provide human transcription — not automated software — for clients across Ireland. Every transcript is reviewed before delivery.

Transcription vs Translation: What Is the Difference?

The two services are often used together, but they do different things.

Transcription

Converting spoken content into written text in the same language.

Focus
  • Audio and video
  • Same language in, same language out
  • Written record of what was said

Example: Transcribing an English-language meeting recording into an English written transcript.

Translation

Converting written text from one language into another.

Focus
  • Documents and text
  • Different language in, different language out
  • Meaning preserved across languages

Example: Translating an English transcript into Polish for a Polish-speaking client.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about our transcription service.

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Transcription converts spoken content into written text in the same language. Translation converts written text from one language into another. We can do both — transcribe the recording and then translate the transcript into your target language.

What audio and video formats do you accept?

We accept common formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, AVI and WMV. If your file is in a different format, send us a sample and we will confirm whether we can work with it.

How long does transcription take?

Turnaround depends on the length of the recording, audio quality and the format you need. Standard and urgent options are available. We confirm the turnaround when we quote.

How much does transcription cost?

Pricing is based on the length of the recording, audio quality, number of speakers and the format (verbatim or clean). We provide a fixed quote after reviewing the file.

Can you transcribe multiple speakers?

Yes. We label each speaker in the transcript. Tell us how many speakers are in the recording and, if possible, provide their names or roles.

Can you transcribe a recording in another language and translate it into English?

Yes. We transcribe the recording in the source language and then translate the transcript into your target language. This is a combined service.

Is my recording kept confidential?

Yes. All recordings and transcripts are handled confidentially and only shared with the transcriber and reviewer assigned to your project.

Do you provide subtitles or captions?

We can provide subtitle files in common formats such as SRT or VTT if you need captions for video content. Tell us the format you need when you request a quote.
