Multilingual transcription is the process of converting spoken communication in two or more languages into written form. Multilingual transcription can be used for audio recordings, video recordings, or live audio.
There are many contexts where multilingual transcription might be used, including language learning, research, subtitling, legal proceedings, and more. As well as being an aid for understanding spoken content in another language, transcriptions can provide insight into linguistic patterns, help with subtitling or captioning, and provide reliable records of meetings and other gatherings.
A transcriber will be proficient in all of the languages being spoken or in the recording to ensure they can quickly and accurately create a transcription. Given that the audio to be transcribed may have multiple people speaking at once or in quick succession, accurate language identification is another crucial part of the process.
Multilingual transcription projects often involve translation, too, whereby the transcript is translated into one or more other languages. This allows for other people to have a copy, whether they be participants in the original conversation, stakeholders, or anyone else.
The cost of a multilingual transcription project will vary depending on the nature and scale of the project. Factors like length of the recording, number of speakers, number of languages being spoken, and the type of transcription may contribute to the cost, so the best thing to do is to get in touch with our team for a bespoke quote.
In terms of transcription types, below are two options:
As with the cost question, there is no one-size-fits-all answer here. Depending on the complexity of the audio, the context, the number of speakers and various other factors the required time can vary.
Again, letting us know about your project and requesting a bespoke quote is the best way to get an idea of how long things might take. Our expert transcribers will review the project and your quote will be based around their estimates.
Several pieces of software exist that can transcribe audio, but it’s often the case that recordings with multiple voices are harder for the software to process. The output of these programs also often requires proofreading and the addressing of issues such as:
The recent advent of AI is heralding some interesting developments in audio transcription, so the answer to this question may evolve in coming years!
