What Type of Transcription Do I Need?

Deciding which type of transcription to use depends wholly on the intended use of the content. Hopefully the explanations below will help you decide which type of transcription will be best for your project.

​Intelligent Verbatim

Intelligent verbatim transcription omits all “umms”, “ahhs”, laughter and pauses throughout the conversation.  OutSec transcriptionists take a common sense approach eliminating words not relevant to the subject matter.  As a result, an “intelligent “transcript is provided.  For example, a speaker repeats herself for emphasis or uses colloquialisms like ‘you see’ for illustration.  In this case this is not necessary to the transcript and will be omitted.  This is the least expensive and most commonly requested transcript.

​Edited

Edited transcription is a full and accurate script that has been formalised.  Often used by lecturers or conference organisers it is edited for readability and clarity.  In other words a concise and easy to read transcript appropriate for B2B communications, publishing houses (particular academic reports).

Verbatim

Verbatim, as you probably already know, means “word for word”.  Behavior and reactions are equally as important as the spoken words. Because of this the transcript will include repetition such as umms, ahhs, etc.  In other words it is a 100% accurate record.  Clients requiring verbatim are interested in the psychology behind the audio.  As a result this service is commonly used by the Police, Courts, Forensic Accountants and Market Researchers.

This is our most expensive service.
