Verbatim Transcription Services – When Every Word Matters

A verbatim transcript preserves every single word of text from an audio file, just the same as such phrases were spoken at first. When someone applies for a verbatim copy, they are asking for a version that contains filler words, false endings, grammatical errors, and other linguistic signs that provide useful context and set the scene of the documented scenario. There is everything in a verbatim text. It refers word by word to an audio file submitted by a customer.

Sometimes, just having a transcript of a phone conversation isn't enough. Records of court and insurance, as well as other industries, require it to transcribe everything. And smiles, coughs, utterances and sighs included. For transcript consistency, these additional auditory behaviors can be very necessary. Transcription Outsourcing is pleased to provide transcript services verbatim when all is required.

There are two main transcription types: verbatim and non-verbatim. Verbatim is where a transcriptionist copies all the phrases that they say, including certain non-speech sounds, interjections or indications of active listening, redundant terms, incorrect endings, self-corrections, and pauses. This type of transcript requires a lot of extra time and consideration to detail and costs a little bit extra for that reason. On the other side, the non-verbatim text is cleaned up to remove filler words, stammers, and anything that separates what is being said from the core message. This type of transcript is the most common and should be lightly edited for readability by the transcriptionist.

You can trust professionally trained experts in transcription to understand that what is said is relevant and also interpreting the speaker's feelings and thought patterns are important. You can read the transcript with verbatim transcription services and understand the context as if he or she was there when the recording of the audio files was done. In verbatim transcription every element in the recorded audio is converted to text for a better interpretation, all those pause and filler words, Um, ah, hitchhikes, laughs, background sound is analyzed and included in the transcripts. Our professional verbatim transcription services are tailored to your needs. Just let us know what kind of words or sounds you need.

The form of transcription you choose depends according to your purpose of the document and what your personal preferences are for.

Also, certain courts allow cleaner reading or recommend it. Most scientific or research organizations use non-verbatim transcription for their specific purposes. An important thing to remember for all clients though is that a transcriptionist is not an editor of audio or documents. Their task is to transcribe what's said, taking out words if needed, if it improves readability. Though, we can't add vocabulary or alter sentences to make it sound better.
