We review, refine, and format auto-generated transcripts to ensure clarity, readability, and accuracy. Effective transcript editing results in a polished, professional document that is easy to read, accurately represents the original spoken content, and suitable for its intended audience and purpose.

Turning words into formatted text

Our key steps in transcript editing:

  • Accuracy Check: Ensure the transcript accurately reflects the spoken words. This includes correcting any misheard words or phrases.

  • Punctuation and Grammar: Add appropriate punctuation and correct grammatical errors to make the transcript easy to read.

  • Speaker Identification: Identify and label different speakers, especially in interviews or multi-speaker settings.

  • Removing Fillers: Eliminate unnecessary filler words such as "um," "uh," "you know," and "like" unless they are crucial for conveying the speaker's tone or meaning.

  • Clarifying Incoherent Speech: Rephrase or clarify any parts of the transcript that are unclear or difficult to understand while staying true to the original meaning.

  • Consistency: Ensure formatting, spelling, and terminology consistency throughout the transcript.

  • Annotations: Add any necessary annotations or notes to provide context or explain unclear references.

  • Standardizing formatting: Ensuring consistent formatting, such as capitalization and punctuation.

  • Proofreading: Conduct a final review to catch any remaining errors or inconsistencies before finalizing the transcript.

Transcript editing is essential for:

  • Accessibility: Making audio and video content accessible to people with hearing impairments or language barriers.

  • Research: Analyzing and extracting information from spoken language for research purposes.

  • Legal and business: Creating accurate, ready-to-distribute records of meetings, depositions, or other important conversations.

  • Content creation: Editing transcripts for blogs, articles, or other written content.
