Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the turnaround of the professional transcription service?
Our transcribers are located in different time zones, so there is always someone a few hours away from your file. If your file is less than an hour-long, it will be ready within 24 hours. If it's longer, it will depend on the transcribers' volume of work and availability, as well as the length and complexity of your file. You will always receive an email once your file is completed.
-
What is the difference between automatic transcription software and professional transcription service?
The main difference between these two services relies on the accuracy of the transcription. Our professional transcription service has an accuracy of 99%, and your files will be proofread by an expert transcriber. When using our automatic transcription software, your files will be transcribed automatically, so you will need to proofread them in the end to make them 99% accurate.
-
What are the professional transcription rates?
The price of the service depends on the language and length of your files. The price for professional English transcription starts at $1.95 per minute of audio.

Really unique service and definitely fills a need. I do a lot of audio/video interviews and then need to write articles from those interviews. Happy Scribe will save me a lot of time (and pain) in turning the audio to text. Accuracy was about 95% which is excellent!

Excellent transcription software. Highlights anything it feels it might have got wrong but corrections are easily made as the audio is available to play along with the transcript without having to hook up drives etc. Very impressed.

I found it very simple to understand and follow. It generated exactly what I wanted and what I expected. The results were very close to near perfect, word for word.

Happy Scribe saves me so much time. As a journalist, my dream was to have an intern to transcribe my interviews to me - but Happy Scribe answered my prayers instead! And for a reasonable price too. Super happy with it.
