LC, a language service provider and a transcription company in India with its head office in Gurgaon and branch offices in Boston(USA), Berlin(Germany), Paris(France), and Yangon(Myanmar) provides transcription services in more than 150 languages. Transcription is converting live or recorded spoken word into a written or electronic text form. Some transcription service providers send their transcribers/ human resources to events, seminars who then convert the spoken content into text. Some transcription services also accept recorded speech such as in CDs, cassettes, VHS, or any other sound file. Transcription Service providers, organizations or individuals, have different ways of charging or pricing their services. Pricing may be per word, per line, per minute, or per hour. Transcription may be done in the same language or in a different target language depending on the client’s requirement.

Providing transcription of an audio/video in a different language has two key stages:  
STAGE1: Native-speaking linguist watches or listens to the recording and converts the words contained in the source file into written form.
STAGE2: As per the client’s project requirement, the text can then be translated into the target language by one of our professional native translators.

Verbatim transcription and translation service by LC

An expert linguist from LC doing verbatim foreign language transcription captures all of the spoken words including fillers, “ah”, “uh” and “umm”, throat clearing, and incomplete sentences. It also includes pauses, laughter, and other sounds, which are expected parts of spoken language. A linguist usually takes more time to transcribe this type of text. However, it is valuable time for job interviews, police investigations, and court cases where the behavior and reactions of the person being questioned are equally important as the spoken words and translation.
