About Transcription Services

Transcription Services

In many cases, audio files of native speakers can be difficult to understand for non-speakers, even if they know the language. The difficulty lies in the unique pronunciation, rules, and features that each language possesses. Therefore, at TRANSTEC, we offer Transcription services, where we transcribe the audio files into written text to make it easier for the listener to understand the dialogue or content. By transcribing the text into a separate file, the recipient can read what the speaker is saying and fully comprehend the audio content. Our Transcription services include recorded audio clips from conferences, meetings, conversations, research studies, and commercial or marketing purposes.

Voiceover Services

We offer voiceover services that cater to any of the following purposes:

Advertising purposes
Commercial purposes
Research purposes
Academic purposes

Our qualified and experienced voiceover specialists provide a verbal rendition of the written material that complements the visual content, creating a beautiful audiovisual experience and achieving the intended purpose of the work. The importance of voiceover lies in the ability to provide sound effects that give meaning to the visual content, making it easier to understand and achieve the desired impact. This differs from simply writing phrases in terms of the visual content, as the voiceover can have a much greater impact on the listener’s ear, convincing and influencing them and making the purpose much closer than just putting words on images or audio clips. At TRANSTEC, we provide voiceover services based on the intended purpose of the recorded video and written text to achieve the artistic goal.
