Transcription

Transcription Services

Turn recorded conversations into written content your team can review, share, and translate. NWI Global provides transcription services for audio and video, including same-language transcripts and multilingual transcription with translation.

Whether you have one interview or a collection of recordings, we help you choose the transcript style, language versions, and delivery format that fit your project.

Same-Language & Multilingual Transcription

Start with the recording you have and the written information you need. We help determine whether your project requires transcription alone or coordinated transcription and translation.

Same-Language Transcription

Create a written version of recorded speech in the language used by the speakers. For example, an English-language interview can become an English transcript for review, reference, or further production.

Tell us how the transcript will be used so we can discuss the level of detail, formatting, and review your project needs.

Multilingual Transcription & Translation

Make recorded information available to readers who use another language. Our multilingual transcription services bring together transcription and translation within one coordinated project.

For example, a Spanish-language interview can be transcribed in Spanish and translated into English. We confirm the required language versions and coordinate the work with our Translation & Localization Services.

Audio & Video Transcription for Your Content

Different recordings serve different purposes. We work with your team to understand the content, identify the required deliverables, and plan the transcription around how the information will be used.

  • Interviews & Focus Groups

    Keep a written record of research interviews, participant feedback, and group discussions. Our interview transcription services support projects involving individual speakers or multiple participants, with language and speaker-labeling requirements discussed before work begins.

  • Legal & Insurance Recordings

    Prepare written versions of recorded interviews, statements, and case-related conversations. Share any court-specific formatting, certification, or other specialized requirements at the outset so we can review whether the assignment fits the available service scope.

  • Calls, Meetings & Presentations

    Our audio transcription services support recorded calls, business discussions, lectures, and presentations. Turn spoken information into written material your team can reference, share internally, or prepare for translation into additional languages.

  • Videos, Webinars & Training

    Our video transcription services create written versions of speech from recorded webinars, training videos, and other media. The transcript can also provide a starting point for translated scripts, captions, subtitles, or other production work.

Clear Requirements, Careful Review

A useful transcript starts with a clear understanding of what needs to be captured. We discuss your expectations before work begins and coordinate the language work around the agreed requirements.

NWI Global coordinates transcription through qualified language professionals. The recording’s languages, subject matter, and intended use help determine the resources and review needed.

Speaker names, terminology lists, and background materials are helpful, too. Providing this context supports consistent wording and helps clarify unfamiliar names, acronyms, and technical terms.

A verbatim transcript retains fillers and false starts. A clean-read version removes selected fillers and repetitions for easier reading. Before work begins, we confirm the approach and agree on what to retain or remove.

Also identify any requirements for speaker labels, timestamps, bilingual layouts, or a specific document template. These details help establish what the finished transcript should include.

Recordings may contain personal, confidential, or restricted information. Describe any handling requirements before sending files so we can discuss an appropriate transfer method and review access and delivery arrangements.

For sensitive projects, also identify restrictions on processing tools, file retention, and sharing the finished transcript.

How Our Transcription Process Works

Each project begins with a review of the recording and your requirements. Once the scope is agreed, we coordinate the transcription and any additional language work.

  • 1. Share the Project Details

    Tell us the approximate recording length, languages spoken, number of speakers, subject matter, and requested deadline. Explain how the transcript will be used and whether translation or other production services are needed.

    Include any available reference materials or formatting instructions.

  • 2. Confirm the Scope & Estimate

    Next, we review the available recordings and clarify the transcript style, language versions, review requirements, and delivery format.

    We also discuss audio-quality concerns and any specialized instructions. These details form the basis of your estimate and delivery schedule.

  • 3. Transcribe, Review & Deliver

    Once the project is approved, we coordinate transcription and the agreed review steps. When translation is included, we also coordinate the additional language versions.

    Finally, we prepare the deliverables in the agreed format and address any questions identified during the project.

Transcription Services for Your Industry

Your recordings reflect the work your organization does. For government agencies, transcripts turn recorded interviews, meetings, and presentations into written material for review. Similarly, legal teams can use transcripts of recorded statements and case-related conversations, with any requirements for formal use confirmed before work begins.

In education, transcription provides written versions of recorded lectures, webinars, and interviews. For businesses, it helps teams reference presentations, focus groups, and training content. Whether the transcript supports internal review or a broader content project, you can request a same-language version or add translation for readers who use another language.

What Affects Transcription Cost & Turnaround?

Recording length is only part of the scope. Audio quality, the number of speakers, languages, subject matter, transcript detail, and requested deadline also affect the work involved.

In addition, translation, specialized formatting, and review requirements can influence the estimate. We review these factors before confirming pricing and delivery.

For a series of interviews or an ongoing program, share the anticipated volume and schedule so we can consider the requirements together.
