Your recording.
Carefully checked.
Ready to read.
Reviewed audio transcription, with uncertainty made clear.
Turn a clear English interview, meeting or recorded conversation into a readable transcript. David checks the transcript against the recording, confirms supplied names and flags anything that cannot be established.
What the offer covers
Useful words.
Clear boundaries.
Choose a useful format
One readable transcript in DOCX and TXT, with generic Speaker 1 / Speaker 2 labels where distinguishable and timestamps approximately every minute. This is clean verbatim: filler sounds and repeated false starts may be removed without deliberately changing meaning.
Check against the audio
David reviews the transcript against the supplied recording before delivery. Supply a short spelling list for names, places and specialist terms. Any AI assistance is disclosed and requires agreement on suitable processing before files are accepted; no unapproved external AI upload.
Flag rather than guess
Unclear words are marked [unclear 00:00] or [inaudible 00:00]. Overlapping speech, uncertain speaker attribution and unconfirmed spellings are flagged. No 100% accuracy guarantee: the recording may not contain enough information to establish every word.
Resolve what can be confirmed
One consolidated correction round, requested within 14 days of delivery, covers the agreed recording. New audio, translations, rewritten summaries, extra formats and further rounds need a separate quote. You confirm identities, factual claims and specialist wording.
Agree handling first
Start with an enquiry, without audio attachments. Agree a private transfer route, access and deletion date before sharing recordings. Default deletion is within 30 days of final delivery unless another period is agreed in writing. Do not send sensitive material until suitability and handling have been confirmed.
£3 per recorded minute.
£45 minimum.
A 15-minute recording is £45, 30 minutes is £90 and 60 minutes is £180 at the standard rate. Shorter recordings have the same £45 minimum. The sample review confirms suitability and the fixed quote before booking.

Before you send a recording.
Can you make it 100% accurate?
No honest transcription service can guarantee every word of every recording. We include a listen-back review, supplied-name checks and a correction round. Unclear speech is marked with a timestamp rather than invented. Critical wording must be confirmed from an authoritative source.
Is this certified, legal or medical transcription?
No. Court-certified transcripts, sworn translations, clinical records, regulated advice and evidential certification are excluded. This general transcription offer is not suitable where a certified or specialist transcript is required.
Are captions, translation or summaries included?
No. Subtitle timing/SRT files, translation, summaries, meeting minutes, audio restoration, identity verification and publication are separate. This price covers a transcript of the agreed supplied recording.
What about noisy audio or more than two speakers?
A sample review comes first. Heavy accents, overlapping speech, poor sound, more speakers or specialist terminology may need a separate quote or may be declined. We do not promise to recover speech that cannot be heard.
When will it be ready?
Availability and a delivery date are confirmed after the sample and brief are reviewed. This is not an instant automated upload service or an emergency-turnaround promise.
Can I upload the recording here?
No. Use the enquiry form to describe the job only. Confirm that you have permission to share and transcribe all recorded speech. David agrees a suitable private transfer route and handling arrangements before accepting files.
