Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions about transcription services? We have answers.

What is transcription?

Transcription is the process of converting spoken language or audio into written text. It involves the use of human transcriptionists or AI technology to convert the audio into a text transcript.
What types of transcription services are available?

There are several types of transcription services, including:

  • Verbatim Transcription: Captures every word, including fillers and non-verbal sounds.

  • Clean Transcription: Omits fillers and non-essential words for clarity and readability.

  • Summary Writing: Summarizes content, capturing the essence of the dialogue without unnecessary details.
What tools are used in transcription?

Transcriptionists often use various tools to aid in their work, such as:

  • Audio playback software with variable speed control.
  • Text editors or transcription software.
  • Headphones for clear audio listening.
  • Foot pedals to control audio playback hands-free. 
How is confidentiality maintained in Acolad's transcription services?

We understand that information security is of utmost importance for clients in various industries and design our systems and processes to put your mind at ease. Our range of measures to ensure confidentiality include:

  • Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs)
  • Secure file transfer and storage
  • Professional ethics and adherence to privacy laws
  • Secure and encrypted transcription software 
Can automated software replace human transcriptionists?

Automated transcription software can be useful for quick drafts and straightforward content, but human transcriptionists are still necessary for high accuracy, particularly for complex, technical, or sensitive material.
How do I choose the right transcription service provider?

Of course, we would say choose Acolad! But crucial things to consider are the provider’s experience and expertise in your industry area, their potential turnaround times and flexibility, pricing and value for money, confidentiality and data security arrangements, and reviews and testimonials from previous clients.
When do you need to employ transcription services for live meetings?

The majority of what is expressed verbally is forgotten within hours, but it still needs to be captured for future reference. While notes may suffice in some instances, there are others when every word needs to be captured, including:

  • Civil and criminal litigation
  • Investigative interviews
  • Focus groups
  • Depositions and hearings
Why use transcription services?

Whether your content is audio, video or live meeting, your wish is to share it to your target in a perfect way:

  • Audio and video content should to be accessible to everybody, whatever the native language is: dubbing or subtitling is the key.
  • During meetings, the majority of what is expressed verbally is forgotten within hours, but it still needs to be captured for future reference.
