At Word Works, we are convinced that accurate transcription can improve the accessibility of your content, enabling more people to understand it, and can also improve efficiency in finding specific information in the audio or video file.

What is audio and video transcription?

Our service is aimed at those who need to document information that has been spoken in a conversation, interview, meeting or conference.

The audio files transcription is ideal for recording interviews, speeches, podcasts and phone calls as it focuses exclusively on the spoken content.

The video files transcription, on the other hand, is suitable for lectures, master classes, marketing videos and any other video content because it also includes the description of what is happening in the video content, such as subtitles or action indications.

The transcription process involves listening to or watching the audio or video file several times and writing down what is said in a text document. Accurate and high quality transcription requires special skills, such as excellent listening comprehension and language, writing and editing skills.

Types of audio and video files that can be transcribed
