LECTURES / SPEECHES / KEYNOTE SPEAKER
TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES

We are pleased to provide transcription services for lectures, speeches and keynote speaker presentations from any academic environment or conference. The fascinating range of subject matter dealt with in speeches and lectures makes them enjoyable to transcribe. Given a professional audio recording set-up, they can also be one of the clearest forms of recording which makes the transcriber's job that much easier.

Whatever the type of speech, whether it be an academic lecture, a conference keynote speaker, motivational and after dinner speeches, business or celebrity speakers, we can provide a first class transcription service. We are committed to meeting any post-conference deadlines for a prompt turnaround of high quality transcripts to ensure that you are able to produce any delegate packs within a reasonable timeframe. We can also include any Q&A sessions or audience participation where required - please view our conference transcription page for further details. We pride ourselves on our project management experience for large scale projects and our flexibility to meet your deadlines. Our Testimonials contain comments from a long line of satisfied customers.

Our prices per audio minute below are for digital or mini disc recordings. Our audio tape transcription service is based on an hourly rate and we are also equipped to convert both minidiscs and videos for subsequent transcription. If your speech was transmitted as a podcast or webcast, we provide transcription for those too.

Please view our Guidelines and Equipment pages which we hope will answer any specific queries you may have about setting up your recordings and facilitating the event. Having spent time and money on detailed planning, it's vital to ensure that the recording is of a high standard in order to capture the lecture or speech. Most professional venues have their own in-house equipment, or are happy to advise on recommendations for audio visual companies who can take care of this for you. If you have a choice, we strongly recommend choosing a digital recording method. This results in high quality recordings which in turn reduces transcription costs and turnaround times.

ALL RECORDINGS are listened to a second time, Internet research is carried out to identify names or terminology, and all transcripts are proofread by the Director, Irene Boston, before being sent to clients. There is no extra charge for this service. Not all transcription companies do this, some don't even proofread, so make sure you ask the right questions before choosing a service.

If you have digital files, you can Upload them securely via this website to ensure prompt delivery to our transcription team. We can also download your audio sound files directly from your website if you prefer, or you can post CDs. Should the speech have been recorded on standard audio tapes or minidiscs, we can still provide an audio transcription service. We always convert any minidisc or analogue recordings into digital format where possible, which cuts out on repeated stops and starts and increased wear on precious original recordings. Subsequently, we can also provide you with that digital re-recording free of charge, provided the originals are clearly audible.

Our default transcript style is Intelligent Verbatim which is the most cost effective method of transcription. Please read our definitions of the types of transcript we offer to choose which format is most suitable for your needs. We use a standard format and layout for all transcripts but should you wish something different, please let us know. As with all our transcriptions, we provide a transcript code for each document to signify areas which are inaudible or unclear.

We would recommend giving as much advance notice of your speech and lecture transcription requirements as possible, preferably contacting us before the event. This will allow us to reserve space in our schedule. Most professional transcription companies have a long list of regular customers so book your transcription company in advance, the same way you would the event venue.

We hope this provides you with a thorough overview of our specialist lecture, keynote speaker and speech transcription services. Please email or contact us on 01485 543746 for further information and turnaround times based on our current schedule, or browse our Overview or FAQ pages.
