Verbatim Transcription Services
For over 30 years, we’ve been providing professional transcription services to clients across a wide range of industries – and we’re proud that so many return to us time and again for our verbatim expertise. Our experienced UK-based team delivers both full and intelligent verbatim transcripts with absolute accuracy, capturing nuance and tone while maintaining complete confidentiality.
Whether you need every ‘um’ and ‘er’ included or prefer a cleaner, business-focused style, our skilled transcribers will deliver the precise verbatim transcription your project requires – for business, legal, or academic use.
Why choose McGowan Transcriptions for verbatim transcriptions?
We pride ourselves on accuracy, speed and security. We know that audio files that require medical transcription are considerably different to those for market research transcriptions. As a result, our approach ensures the exact delivery of your transcription the way you need it.
If each hesitation, filler word or sound is required, perhaps for a police interview transcription, we ensure it isn’t missed. If you prefer to omit the coughs, laughs or stutters in a job interview transcription, our team guarantees you a fully polished document that only includes the vital information. Here’s why so many people return to McGowan Transcriptions for their verbatim transcriptions:
- Fully confidential, all the time. We appreciate that some verbatim transcripts, whether intelligent or full verbatim, require the highest levels of confidentiality. Therefore, all of our team members sign NDAs and, coupled with our secure internal policies and procedures, all files are handled with the highest level of care. With both in-house and online data security at the forefront of what we do, your important documents are always protected.
- Always in-house– Too often, transcription companies overpromise, underdeliver and outsource your work. The result? Lower accuracy and weaker data security. We handle every project in-house to guarantee the precision, confidentiality and speed your transcription deserves.
- Skilled human and not AI transcription specialists. We only use native English-speaking and experienced transcription experts for your intelligent and full verbatim transcriptions. We cut out the inconsistencies of AI to deliver transcriptions exactly as they are meant to be. Where AI can’t yet detect tone, industry jargon or multiple speakers, each one of our experts can. They will deliver the exact transcript you require, every time.
- Accuracy is never compromised. Each type of transcription requires a different level of accuracy. Some need every filler word or sound, whereas others benefit from a cleaner, crisper word flow. Our team appreciates this, and that is why we deliver high levels of accuracy every time. Whether you need every word and sound or prefer to omit the hesitations and chatter, McGowan Transcriptions has you covered.
- Fast turnaround. We understand that many transcriptions are time-sensitive. Important information often requires rapid distribution and consumption. At McGowan Transcriptions, our efficient processes, dedicated team and vast experience mean we can deliver upon our promises, all the time.
- Experienced and committed. With more than 30 years of providing verbatim transcription services, we like to think we are doing something right. With a team of 40 professional transcribers conducting in excess of 600 hours of transcription work per week, we deliver excellence as standard.
Decoding the difference between intelligent verbatim and full verbatim transcription
Before we show why McGowan Transcriptions is the UK leader in fully human (not AI) transcription, here’s what sets intelligent and full verbatim apart, helping you choose the right fit.
- Intelligent verbatim transcription: Intelligent verbatim transcription, often known as a clean transcription, is the stripped-back, cleaner version of your content. It omits all the pauses, stutters, filler words and repetition to provide you with just the essential information. You’ll still have all the exact words spoken by the speaker without the elements that could cause readers to lose their flow or misunderstand some aspects of the content.
- Full verbatim transcription: A full verbatim transcription, often referred to as true verbatim, on the other hand, covers everything – each stutter, each filler word, every sound. Where a full transcription of absolutely everything said is needed, full verbatim provides it.
Verbatim transcription services: where are they needed?
The type of audio or visual file that requires transcribing will often determine which type of verbatim transcription service you need. Where detail is essential or required for full compliance, a full verbatim transcription is best. If your content won’t be compromised or fall foul of any law by removing the stutters, background chatter or filler words, intelligent verbatim is often best. Below, you’ll find a few examples of where each type is often best utilised.
