Who we transcribe Italian for
Teams in Italy, Switzerland and international organisations rely on human Italian transcription when the record has to be complete.
Legal and corporate
Hearings, interviews and board meetings in Italian, transcribed in full with every speaker identified for your files.
Universities and research
Theses, oral history projects and qualitative interviews in Italian, delivered in a consistent format ready for analysis.
Media and podcasts
Interviews, podcasts and video content in Italian, with timestamps so editors can find and check every quote.
Transcribed by native Italian speakers
Every file is handled by a native Italian-speaking transcriber who has passed our language and style tests. Speakers from all over Italy and from Italian-speaking Switzerland are transcribed faithfully in standard written Italian.
Regional accents and expressions are common in Italian recordings. Share a glossary and we keep names, places and technical terms consistent across your files.
Proofread Italian transcripts, 99% accurate
Each transcript is written and checked against the audio by a professional, including accents, apostrophes and elisions, proper names and technical terms. Every speaker is labelled and timestamps are added throughout.
Choose clean read for reports and articles, or verbatim when every word and hesitation must appear in the transcript.
Italian transcripts back in 48 hours
Standard turnaround for Italian is 48 hours for recordings up to one hour. Longer recordings take proportionally longer, for example about 72 hours for a 90-minute file.
For larger projects, such as a series of interviews or a court archive, we agree volumes and delivery dates with you upfront.
Confidential handling for sensitive Italian recordings
HappyScribe is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. Your Italian files are encrypted in transit and at rest, and everyone who works on them is bound by a confidentiality agreement (NDA).
Your recordings stay in your private workspace, where you control who can view, edit and share each transcript.
