At McGowan Transcriptions, we offer a reliable, accurate and affordable video transcription service for those working and studying in environments where accuracy and time management are critical.
With a team of qualified and experienced professional transcribers, we ensure audio from video files is carefully converted into written form, capturing the exact tone and pace of what was said without compromising quality and accuracy.
Proud of our standards, quality and reputation, choose transcription services from an industry leader today.
We have extensive experience in providing video transcript services. Since our inception in 1993, we’ve gone from strength to strength, building a strong team of talented and experienced transcribers, all adept at providing the best video transcription services possible.
We treat every video file we receive with complete confidentiality and manage the entire process with compliance and your requirements in mind. What’s more, we do it with a rapid turnaround and remain fully transparent with pricing, meaning you won’t be caught out by any surprise charges or hidden costs.
They aren’t the only reasons you should choose our video transcript service above anyone else’s though. Further down the page, you’ll see what our customers think, but before we get to that, let’s show you why else transcription services for video are best completed by the team at McGowan.
Fully human transcriptions. We know that AI is everywhere, but in the world of video transcript services, it’s proving to be a hindrance rather than a help. AI lacks the ability to detect tone, accents, technical language, and grasp the contextual relevance of a conversation. This means accuracy can be compromised. At McGowan, we only use experienced human transcribers who notice nuances, pauses, industry-specific jargon and more. This delivers you an accurate transcription where quality is never below exceptional. Delivering 99.7% accuracy, we eclipse the results of AI transcribers.
Completely confidential and secure. We know that some video files require complete confidentiality, and our strict procedures always ensure this. Whether your video files are for medical research transcriptions, HR meetings, police interviews or simply an entertaining podcast, we’ll treat them with the highest levels of confidentiality, so your information is always protected. All our staff also sign NDAs where required, go through rigorous security checks upon recruitment and sign our specific confidentiality agreements. Additionally, we are GDPR and ISO compliant. This means that all our data management practices have been thoroughly inspected by a third party.
Vastly experienced. We know all there is to know about transcribing. We’ve been doing it for over 30 years! However, we are always improving to ensure any video transcription you require is completed to the best possible standard. As of now, we employ more than 40 professional transcribers, complete over 600 weekly hours of transcriptions and have delivered fully accurate transcriptions to more than 23,000 customers across the globe.
Flexible, but fast. We know that many video transcription services offer specific turnarounds, but these don’t always align with what you need. At McGowan, we aim to deliver your transcript within 24 hours, sometimes even on the same day! However, should you have a set date in mind, we’ll complete it by that deadline. Guaranteed.
No subcontracting. All our work is done in-house by our team. This means you won’t need to worry about a lack of consistency, and you’ll get the same high standards, fast turnaround and high levels of security every time you require video transcription services.
Full verbatim video transcript service. We don’t scrimp on quality. We know that every sound, pause and word could play an important role in how your transcript resonates with the reader or informs them of something important. With such attention to detail, essential transcripts for legal, medical, employment or government videos are an accurate representation of what was said on tape. If you don’t require full verbatim transcription, let us know, and we’ll provide transcription video services that pick up what was said without the ums and errs.
Video transcription services play an essential role in providing an accurate written account of what was said in a filmed piece of media. Sometimes, accents, complex jargon or simply the speed things are spoken can confuse those watching the video.
This can be especially problematic in educational or training videos where important information is being relayed throughout.
For the video content of a less serious nature, a transcript allows a reader to notice the jokes they may have missed or the entertaining story that had multiple speakers all talking at once.
A video transcription service is needed for much more than that though.
Improved online presence. With text transcripts to accompany a video, your video instantly becomes more searchable online. Search engines can read your transcript, but they cannot watch a video. This means that often, your high-quality content fails to perform as it should. With Google Bot and other search engine tools reading your video transcript, they can then rank the content accordingly and put it in front of the people searching for it.
Accessibility. Whether your video content is for use in the workplace, for learning purposes or just for entertainment, content should be made widely accessible. Having transcription services for video like ours ensures everyone benefits from consuming what you’ve created. Those with hearing difficulties, for example, can now read the transcript and take just as much from the video as someone watching it.
Quick reference. A video can be long, and it may be that there are only specific parts of it you need to access. With full verbatim transcription from a professional video transcription company, you can quickly search for exactly what you need without having to trawl through hours of film to find the 2-minute segment you require.
Whether you have scientific studies that require a transcription to help students, an HR meeting that helps with employee compliance or simply have a podcast you want to expand the reach of, full video transcription services from McGowan give you what you need.
How much do our video transcription services cost?
It’s a question we are asked often and one where we feel complete honesty is only right. Where some video transcript services charge a low per-minute cost. We don’t. However, where many of these companies charge low per-minute rates, they don’t include any extra fees. This additional expense could stem from requiring someone else to listen to the video file after it’s been transcribed, or passing it through additional quality control.
It’s only after you receive the invoice that you see all these added extras and soon realise the per-minute cost equates to significantly more than what it was with us! To avoid this confusion, we have four price levels that simply reflect the type of video transcript you require. With no hidden fees or additional charges, it is an affordable way to get the exact type of transcript you need.
