transcription

Transcription is the creation of a written copy; transcription is also defined as the making of an exact verbatim copy of dictated or recorded information in longhand or on a machine, as on a typewriter or computer. A condensed transcription is the paraphrasing or summarizing in writing of spoken communication.

transcription servicesALS International is a “one stop shop” for all your transcription needs. Please remember that transcription is distinct from translation in that it is a rendering from one medium to another of the original recorded language.

ALS can record your proceedings, transcribe them in more than 150 languages and dialects (including of course American English) and then, if needed, provide a certified translation.

Our transcribers and translators are professionals chosen for their linguistic skills and areas of expertise. Among the subject areas in which ALS has extensive transcription experience are:

conference and technical presentations
ALS records and transcribes a range of proceedings including client presentations, financial discussions, focus groups and press conferences. ALS provides transcriptions and translations of videos and advertising spots with normal or expedited delivery.

cd & dvd duplication and replication

ALS also provides the opportunity for you to purchase your own equipment for duplication through our affiliate, AudioLink. Prices for this service are highly competitive. Options include silk screen printing, translation of labels, graphic design and offset printing of inserts and packaging. SEE DETAILS

notable transcription projects

TRANSCRIPTION

A major retail clothing chain wanted to produce voice overs in Spanish and Japanese for an international stock offering.

We transcribed, translated, edited and adapted the English language videos for Spanish and Japanese audiences. ALS also advised the client on the choice of appropriate voice talent. The client heeded our advice and the campaign was well-received.

A US government agency was mandated by the courts to deliver accurate certified transcriptions and translations of largely-inaudible wiretaps in order to proceed with an arraignment and trial.

ALS proceeded in stages to identify what turned out to be exotic dialects on the tapes, transcribe the tapes, proof the transcriptions, translate the transcriptions and certify our work. Working around the clock, we met what sometimes seemed to be an impossible deadline. We delivered the work on time and the prosecution went forward.
