JHTS Services
Process and turnaround
• Process - Recordings are transcribed and proofread (including look-ups) by an
experienced transcriptionist. Any inaudible or unclear sections are timecoded and
denoted by ...[unclear 30:52] to facilitate checking by client. Proofreading and
checking by a member of our QA team is available where required, at a small premium.
• Turnaround -We aim to return transcripts within 3 working days of receipt (subject
to schedule). Same day, overnight, 24-hour, 48-hour services also available (subject
to schedule). Larger projects will be returned on an as-completed basis, within
agreed deadlines.
Standard or verbatim
... we like to keep things simple
• Standard transcription - accurately records the conversation excluding ums, uhs,
stutters, excessive superfluous use of ‘you know’ etc, (though these are always included
if pertinent to the conversation) giving an accurate, easy to read record of the
conversation.
• Verbatim transcription - everything recorded word for word, including ums, uhs,
stutters, etc, and with descriptive notations where appropriate and time-coding where
required.
‘Challenging’ recordings
... poor recording or strong accents
• Strong accents -We all have our own view on ‘difficult’ accents, maybe where
English is not the first language, and what’s difficult for one person may not be
for another.
• Poor recording -The recording environment can make a huge difference to the sound
quality of a recording, which in turn may affect the quality of the transcript.
All recordings are assessed on receipt and, if found to be ‘challenging’, are only
transcribed once a price has been agreed.
