Transcription of audio and video
A transcription is a written document (digital or printed) where spoken content that is in audio or video format is reproduced word-for-word..
Transcribing is a complex task that requires specific abilities, since the spoken language is a unique communication pathway where, apart from existing possible mistakes, idiomatic expressions, filler words and repetitions, there are gestures, variations in tone and even silences. Thereby, Palabras del Plata has a team of language professionals, who are able to interpret those language nuances correctly and, therefore, produce transcriptions with the same faithfulness that the material sent by the client has, properly using all the forms and usages of the language in which the message is transmitted.
Palabras del Plata offers, not only to individuals and university students but also to companies and international organizations, an excellent service of transcription of different types of texts, such as lectures, conferences, meetings, congresses, seminars, speeches, discussion groups, motion pictures, documentaries, TV series, interviews, trials, police questionings and oral questionnaires.
We have all the necessary equipment to work with audio and video material in almost any digital format (CD-ROM, DVD, mp2, mp3, wma, wav, vox, mpg, avi, divx, mov, etcetera), and also in analog format (VHS o cassettes). The final product can be delivered in digital format (Word document, pdf file, etcetera), in CD-ROM or DVD or in a printed document, and it can be sent by e-mail, other servers or postal mail.
We transcribe mainly English and Spanish material, but do not hesitate to enquire about other languages, since we work with an important network of colleagues who specialize in other languages.
