• We offer three levels of transcription: Verbatim, Intelligent Verbatim, and Paraphrased/Edited.
• The most commonly used format is Clean Verbatim as it omits uhs, ums, false starts, and stutters without changing meaning. It allows for an easy-to-read clean transcript.
• Verbatim transcription incurs an upcharge as it takes more time to perform. The transcriptionist captures all spoken words and sounds, including fillers like “um” and “uh,” pauses, laughter, and throat-clearing. It is a valuable tool for forensic psychiatrists or market researchers where the behavior and reactions of the person being questioned is equally important as the spoken words.
• Paraphrased/edited is mostly used for summary meeting minutes or published/academic documents that required editing for professional presentation.
