Audio transcription
Audio transcription is the process of converting spoken words from an audio recording into written text. It is a meticulous process that requires a great deal of skill and expertise. Unlike audio typing, which involves the production of written text in real-time as someone is speaking, audio transcription involves listening to an existing recording and accurately transcribing the content into written form.
Accurate transcription
Accurate transcription is critical for a wide range of industries, including legal, medical, and academic fields. Inaccurate transcriptions can have serious consequences, such as miscommunication, errors, and even legal issues. This is why it is crucial to use professional audio transcription service providers, who have the necessary expertise, knowledge, and equipment to deliver precise and reliable transcriptions.
Professional transcription
Professional transcription service providers, such as McGowan Transcriptions, have a team of skilled and experienced transcriptionists who are trained in the latest transcription techniques, technologies, and quality assurance protocols. They use specialised software and tools to ensure that transcriptions are accurate and consistent, even for complex recordings with multiple speakers, technical jargon, and difficult accents.

How long will it take to transcribe my project?
We will ensure we transcribe your recordings and reach your end deadline in time.
In over 30 years we have never missed a client deadline.
Do you have the capacity to transcribe my project?
Yes. We transcribe approximately 80 hours of recorded audio per day and have never yet had to turn a project down due to its size.
What are your transcription turnaround times?
Our standard turnaround times for transcription are 2-3 days for a project that is not scheduled in, but we can achieve 24 hour and same day turnarounds whenever required.
Do you charge extra for a 24 HR turnaround?
If we have space on the schedule we always aim for a 24 hour turnaround, regardless of whether the transcription project is booked in advance or not. If the project is not scheduled in, and we have to pull a graveyard shift to achieve the deadline, then our 24 hour deadline charge comes in to play.
Which formats can you transcribe?
We transcribe all digital recordings, the most common being: MP3, WAV, WMV, DSS.
We also transcribe these digital formats: ACT, AIFF, AMR, APE, AU, DCT, DS2, DSP, DVF, DVS, FLAC, M4A, MP2, MPC, MSV, OGG, QCP, SPX, VOC, VOX.
We also transcribe from these digital video formats: 3G2, 3GP, ASF, AVI, DivX, DV, FLV, M4V, MKV, MOV, MP4, MPEG, VOB.
We also transcribe from DVD/CD.
Can you sign my specific confidentiality agreement?
Yes. Each transcriber has already signed a comprehensive confidentiality agreement, but we are happy for every transcriber working on a project, and the Quality Control Team, to sign confidentiality agreements and NDAs wherever required.
How do I get the recordings to you?
Global lounge is our secure, bespoke, uploading facility which is faster than FTP and enables you to upload multiple files in one batch. You can login direct from our website; you do not need any login details to send your project securely. If you have not worked with us before we will contact you for your address/project details.
How do you deliver the transcriptions?
We deliver the vast majority of transcripts back via email. If you prefer a higher level of security you are able to download direct from our system after login. Also, if you have a different system in place that you would prefer us to deliver the transcripts to, that is not a problem at all.
Are you secure?
Very! Please see our security and confidentiality page for the full specification.
How will the project be charged?
We charge per recorded minute…we only charge for what is transcribed, not how long it takes us to transcribe.
What if my questions are not here?
If you have any other questions please call us for free on 0800 158 3747 or fill out our contact form. We’ll get back to you asap!
