Non-erbatim transcription , on the other hand, corrects syntax and removes repetitions to produce a fluent, clean and ready-to-use text. It is the ideal and most cost-effective format for professional management/executive committee meetings minutes, for films or videos.

Your questions about audio and video transcriptions

How do you calculate the price for an audio or video transcription?Artup-Admin2026-09-28T15:10:07+00:00

How do you calculate the price for an audio or video transcription?

Unlike translation, which is charged per word, the price for audiovisual transcription is calculated per minute of audio or video recording. This fixed cost means you can work out your exact budget in advance. This total price depends solely on three criteria: the sound quality of the file (background noise, voices which overlap), the number or speakers, and the type of transcription chosen , either word for word (verbatim) or clean syntax (non-verbatim).
