Audio Transcription and Translation to High Quality Standards

When translating dialogue from audio recordings into another language, Translation Arena first enlists linguists who are native speakers of the source language from which the transcription is to be translated, to turn it into a text that can be translated. After that, a second team of native speakers of the target language is used to translate the text into the target language. The two-stage transcription/translation process helps ensure results of significantly higher quality compared to consecutive translation / simultaneous transcription, which skips the stage of transcribing and converting into text in the source language. This two-stage approach is particularly important for legal materials such as court and police recordings, as it guarantees a higher level of quality.

Why Do You Need an Audio Transcription Service?

Audio transcription services are often a necessary element in producing any multilingual audio or visual content. “Audio transcription” services basically involve converting the audio clip into text. This text can be used directly to assist the hard of hearing or those who do not understand the audio version of the source language, or those who prefer to see the dialogue in the source language written out. These written materials can also be used as a basis for subsequent linguistic translation into different languages.

Assisting the Hard of Hearing

Providing a written text to help the hard of hearing follow the audio content.

For Non-Speakers of the Source Language

For those who do not understand the audio version of the source language, so they read the written text.

Following the Dialogue in the Source Language

For those who prefer to see the dialogue in the source language written out in front of them.

A Basis for Subsequent Translation

Using the text as a basis for subsequent linguistic translation into different languages.
