Intelligent Verbatim: Avoids confusion and conveys complex information efficiently. It is clear, understandable, and free from jargon. It focuses on essential elements to ensure readers easily understand key points. Accepted format in court.
Strict Verbatim: refers to the transcription of all filler words and repetitions that naturally occur in speech. This type of transcription is typically only used in specific research projects. It includes “ums,” “ahs,” and “ers.”

If recordings are not great, your project may take slightly longer and cost more, but we will mark unclear parts with a timestamp for easy review. Contact us with any questions or concerns.

Sometimes, we may come across speakers who speak faster or have an accent that might be tricky to catch. In such cases, it would be great if we could try to slow down a bit and type a little slower to ensure we understand them correctly. We just need to bear in mind that this may take a little extra time.

We use a format to show the time in hours, minutes, and seconds like this: [01:23:15]. You can put it at the beginning of each answer if you’re doing an interview, or every minute if you’re talking alone or with others. You can also upload templates that we’ll check for you.
