    Your trusted partner for transcription

    Need an audio or video file transcribed and not sure where to go? We offer professional transcription at fair prices, built around what you actually need rather than a fixed package. Get in touch and we will work it out together.

    Interviews, conferences, press events, presentations, legal proceedings, online courses. Our transcribers work across a range of technologies, languages and audio and video formats, and produce a result that matches what you are going to do with it — a verbatim record reads very differently from a clean transcript meant for publication, or from subtitles timed to the video, and each is useful in the right place.

    Automatic transcription has become genuinely good at clean, single-speaker audio in a major language. It remains poor at crosstalk, accents, background noise, technical vocabulary and knowing who is speaking. We will tell you honestly which of those describes your recording, and price accordingly.

    Happy to be of service,

    Gabriel Brunner, Founder

    • A great experience

      Working with GB Translation is always a pleasure in every way. Response time is immediate, excellent quality, and they offer a wide range of services, in any language. They understand exactly what we need. Having GB by our side allowed us to take an exponential leap in our growth — they function as our translation department.

    • More than satisfying

      The collaboration with GB is always very good and more than satisfying. We regularly use their translation services. Our company has its own staff, but when we are out of capacity we ask GB for help — so we have a good understanding of translation quality. I especially appreciate the flexibility and the fast but thorough work.

    Frequently asked questions

    Tap any question to see the answer!
    What audio and video formats do you accept?
    All the common ones — MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, WMA and more. If your file is very large, send us a link to it rather than an attachment.
    How is transcription priced?
    By the length of the recording, adjusted for how difficult it is to work with: number of speakers, audio quality, accents and technical vocabulary all matter. Send us the file and you will have a fixed price with no obligation.
    Can you transcribe a recording with several speakers?
    Yes, with speaker labels throughout. Tell us how many people are in the recording and, if you know them, their names — it makes the transcript far more useful.
    Can you transcribe poor-quality audio?
    Usually. Send it to us and we will listen before quoting. If parts genuinely cannot be made out, we mark them as inaudible with a timecode rather than guessing — which is the correct practice, and matters a great deal in legal use.
    Do you provide timecodes?
    Yes, at whatever interval you need, or per speaker change. For subtitles we deliver properly timed SRT or VTT files ready to upload.
    Can you translate the transcript as well?
    Yes. We transcribe in the original language first, then translate, and deliver both versions so you have a record of what was actually said alongside the translation.
