What is video transcription and who does it?
Video transcription is the conversion of video recordings such as movies, music videos, home videos, TV shows, etc, into written text, for instance in the form of subtitles. The conversion is done by skilled and qualified transcribers who watch the video recordings and then create text documents from them or adds text in screen.
How do you make sure the transcriptions accurate?
It is our norm to guarantee that all our transcriptions are 99%+ accurate.
