What it is

Four related but different products live on this page, and we price and describe each separately so you know exactly what you’re paying for: clean transcription (readable text, filler words removed), verbatim transcription (every "um," false start, and repetition included — used for legal and compliance records), captions (same-language text synced to video), and subtitles (translated text synced to video).

Who it's for

  • Legal and compliance teams needing verbatim records of recorded proceedings or interviews.
  • Businesses producing video that needs foreign-language subtitles for a new market.

  • Depositions & legal recordings

How it works for this service

Most files under 60 minutes are ready within 2 business days. Longer files, or recordings with lower audio quality, are scheduled after a quick review — we’ll tell you the delivery date before you order.

What you’re actually paying for

  • The clean/verbatim and captions/subtitles distinctions made explicit up front.
  • Timecode-synced delivery, checked before delivery, not assumed correct.
  • Two separate, transparent price ledgers instead of one blended rate.

Questions about Transcription & Subtitling

What’s the difference between clean and verbatim transcription?
Clean removes filler words ("um," false starts) for readability. Verbatim keeps everything, word for word — used when a record needs to be exact, like a legal deposition. Tell us which you need; if you’re not sure, clean is the right default for most business use.
What’s the difference between captions and subtitles?
Captions are same-language text (English audio → English captions). Subtitles are translated text (English audio → Spanish subtitles, for example). Price is by video minute for both.
How accurate is the timing?
Captions and subtitles are synced to your video’s timecode and reviewed for timing accuracy before delivery, not just for text accuracy.
Do you handle poor audio quality?
We’ll review the file before confirming a price and delivery date — low audio quality can affect turnaround and, in some cases, price. We’ll tell you honestly rather than guess.
Can you deliver subtitles as a separate file (SRT/VTT) instead of burned into the video?
Yes — SRT/VTT files are the default; tell us if you need them burned in or in another format.
