What is audio transcription?

Audio transcription is the process of converting spoken content from audio recordings into written text. It’s commonly used for interviews, podcasts, meetings, focus groups, lectures and media productions.

What types of audio transcription do you offer?

We provide a range of transcription styles to suit different purposes:

  • Verbatim transcription – captures every word, pause and sound exactly as spoken, ideal for legal, research or compliance work.
  • Edited transcription – removes filler words and repetitions for smoother reading, perfect for publication or internal use.
  • Intelligent transcription – focuses on meaning and readability, often used for business or educational materials.
  • Time-coded transcription – synchronises text with timestamps, essential for subtitling and post-production.
Can you transcribe poor-quality audio?

Yes! While better audio quality always helps, our experienced team is trained to handle background noise, overlapping dialogue and varying accents.

We can also provide recommendations for improving future recordings to achieve the best possible results!

Do you offer multilingual or translated transcription?

Absolutely! VoiceBox has access to expert linguists in over 220 languages pairs.

We can transcribe directly from the original audio or translate your transcript into any target language. Ideal for international campaigns, subtitles or accessibility compliance.

How does audio transcription support accessibility?

Transcripts make spoken content accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences, and useful for people who prefer reading or use assistive technology such as screen readers.

They also help organisations meet accessibility standards and ensure their media is inclusive and compliant.
