Accurate Arabic transcription service for universities
As an academic, if you are not accustomed to transcribing, we know how time-consuming it can be. Without sounding boastful, we are bound to be faster and more accurate than you could be. It is, after all, what our experienced team of Arabic transcriptionists do every day. They have the equipment, fast typing speeds and a perfectionist’s desire to capture every last word.
Working from audio or video material, our transcriptionists, audio typists and copy typists can produce verbatim transcripts where every word is recorded, or intelligent verbatim transcripts where any unnecessary utterances are excluded.
We have native-speaking teams covering over 200 languages.
Our amazing Arabic team can also prepare material for discourse analysis. Discourse analysis is a time-consuming exercise for a university researcher. While we can use special software to prepare a transcript for discourse analysis, including the speaker turns etc, we can also provide a budget-friendly and therefore student-friendly solution. By providing a straightforward verbatim transcript in Word, we can save you valuable time. You can simply edit the transcript and add any necessary elements yourself if this suits you best. Speaker labels can be included as can time codes, depending on your requirement.
Our university clients trust us as their language-support partner to produce excellent quality multilanguage transcripts on time and within budget.
Who are our Arabic transcriptionists?
They are all human for a start! Unless absolutely specified by a client as part of the scope of a particular project, all of our transcriptions are carried out by humans rather than by machine. Our transcriptionists are native speakers. They pay attention to detail and will always do the research to try and establish any unusual spellings, brand names, places or people. Any extra information, glossary or lists of participants you can supply when you commission the work with us, is always very welcome.
On average our Arabic transcriptionists can type at a speed of 50 words per minute and will follow any required formatting instructions.
We assign a project manager to every assignment to ensure the project runs smoothly and is delivered on time and within budget.

Some of its inscriptions date back to the first century. Different variants of Arabic language exist and depend on geographical locations.
