Verbatim transcription Services
Isabel's Typing Services offer two types of transcription service, Unabridged Verbatim and Refined Verbatim. The most common style used for interview transcription services and focus group transcription services is refined verbatim. However, we can accommodate for any variations of these two styles as per your request.
REFINED VERBATIM TRANSCRIPTION
Refined verbatim ensures a full, accurate transcript, but omits all the 'ums', 'ahs', repetitions, pauses and verbal habits such as excessive use of 'you know what I mean' and 'kind of', unless this is obviously relevant to the content. In effect we take out the clutter that has no relevance and adds nothing to the context of the transcript.
We can even clean up the transcript further by excluding unfinished sentences, contractions and even correcting incorrect grammar. We leave the rest exactly as spoken, which still retains the overall style of the person speaking as well as the context of the conversation.
UNABRIDGED VERBATIM TRANSCRIPTION
The unabridged transcribing service offers a transcript of absolutely everything said on a recording. Perfect for interviews for legal purposes or for university qualitative analysis. Unabridged Verbatim includes every repetition, 'ums', 'ahs', 'uh-huh' and instances where people drift off in mid comment with no obvious end to the sentence. We will also include all expressions of emotion such as laughter, crying, outbursts, etc.
The different speakers speech styles, dialects and accent patterns will also be transcribed where possible. Added emphasis, such as a shout, cough, or banging on the desk, as well as examples of speakers over stressing a word will also be included in the transcription. This provides the reader with as much information as possible and relates in words what was being said as well as the conversational style of the recording.
We aim to provide a fast, friendly and affordable transcription service where the needs of our customers come first and are always met. If you have any questions about or verbatim transcription or have a special request, then please do not hesitate to contact us.
