- proofreading of the resulting text which includes removal of unnecessary information, correct spelling of special terms and names, semantic correction;
- setting time code indicating the time period of a speech.
The service cost can significantly be increased if you need to transcript a complex audio or video recording that:
- contains strong noises and interferences preventing from making out speakers' speech;
- includes speeches of the participants with unclear diction, obvious speech defects, who use many fillers which should be removed after transcription;

Questions about transcreation services
Why should I order a professional translation, if today browsers provide an automatic translation option?
Machine-assisted translation built into browsers algorithms shall never ensure quality equal to that a human can deliver. Besides, such translations do not support flash or images used everywhere on the Internet. Finally, a website is your company's representative on the Internet used by many potential partners and customers to evaluate the company. Ensuring your website is as convenient for each of them as possible is an essential condition for your own comfort and benefit.
We can translate small documents within a working day. Extra urgent orders – within 1-2 hours.
A custom standard page is a conventional unit used to measure the amount of text for translations. One custom standard page contains 1,800 printed characters. The printed characters are all visible items (letters, punctuation marks, digits, etc.) and spaces between words. For example, one standard page contains 30 lines with 60 characters in each line.
Usually translation agencies apply special-purpose software to count the number of characters contained in text, for example PractiCount. But if you have only few files, you can count the amount of the text on your own. To do this, you need determine the number of characters contained in the source text, and then to calculate the number of custom standard pages. Then multiply the number of standard pages by an appropriate translation rate. To find our translation rates go to the Prices at our website. One standard page contains 1,800 text characters including spaces. You can determine the number of text characters by using Microsoft Word. If you have Word 2003 installed, go to the Service menu, then open the Statistics tab. If you have Word 2007 installed, go to Review tab, then click the ABC (123) icon.
