Interview transcription is one of our specialties, and here at McGowan Transcriptions, we have been delivering high quality, cost-effective interview transcription since 1993.
Over 26 years in the business has allowed us to work with a range of clients transcribing interviews across many varied sectors and industries, providing them with the highest standard of transcription of audio and video recordings.
Using our standard transcription templates, we provide strict verbatim and intelligent verbatim transcription, as well as edited interview transcripts. We transcribe from all digital audio files including MP3, WAV, WMV and DSS; as well as MP4, MPEG and DVD files.

Interview Transcription FAQs
What is a transcription of an interview?
It is the process of documenting (writing down) a conversation between two or more people. It sounds easy, but in actual fact requires immense concentration and without training most people find it very difficult to do so adequately. Interview transcriptions can be done in real time from an audio or video recording.
How long does it take to transcribe an interview?
The industry standard time is about 4 hours to transcribe one hour of clear audio, or about one hour for every 15 minutes. An interview 45-minutes long should take about 3 hours. This is an approximate number. Depending on the circumstances (how clear the audio is, if jargon terms are used) the process may be quicker or longer.
How fast do transcribers type?
Our professional transcribers can work on time-sensitive projects to the speed of up to 75 wpm (words per minute). The actual speed can change depending on the nature of what is being transcribed. There is no official typing speed in the transcribing profession, though most transcriptionists can type at a speed of at least 50 wpm.
