Transcription and translation of meetings, interviews, voice notes, phone calls, video and hearings. Human transcribers write down what is said, with speaker labels and timestamps, and our translators turn the transcript into Arabic or English, certified when a court, arbitration or authority needs it.

Before You Send the File
Tell us the purpose of the transcript and we set it up accordingly. A board meeting summary and a recording filed in a dispute need very different documents.
Full verbatim keeps every word, repetition, false start and filler. Clean verbatim removes ums, stutters and repeated words but keeps the meaning and wording. Disputes and investigations usually need full verbatim; meetings, interviews and research usually read better in clean verbatim.
We label each turn and add timestamps at every change of speaker or at fixed intervals. We cannot identify voices ourselves: speakers are Speaker A and Speaker B unless you tell us who is who, and the transcript records that the names came from you.
We first transcribe in the language spoken, then translate the transcript line by line, keeping the labels and timestamps. You can have the transcript alone, the translation alone, or both side by side in two columns.
What We Transcribe
Arabic, including Gulf, Egyptian and Levantine speech, English, and other languages through translators in that language.
Recorded meetings, AGMs and calls turned into a clean transcript, with a translated version for shareholders or head office.
HR interviews, investigations, academic and market research interviews, focus groups and podcasts.
WhatsApp voice notes and recorded calls, often in mixed languages, transcribed in full and translated into Arabic or English.
Verbatim transcript plus certified Arabic translation for filing, once your lawyer has decided the recording will be used.
Recordings of hearings, witness statements and arbitration sessions supplied by you or your counsel.
Corporate video, webinars and courses transcribed and translated, with on-screen text noted. Subtitling is available on request through our localization service.
How It Works
Send the recording in its original format, untrimmed and unconverted, with the languages spoken, the speakers' names if known and the purpose.
We check length, sound quality, number of speakers and languages, agree the format (verbatim or clean, timestamps, layout) and quote before we start.
A transcriber writes the text in the source language and marks unclear passages. A translator then translates it line by line and checks it against the audio.
You receive Word and PDF files, a two-column bilingual layout if you want one, and a stamped certified translation where required.
Who Uses Transcripts
Transparent Pricing
Certification confirms that the translation matches the transcript. It does not prove that a recording is genuine or lawful, which is for the court and your lawyer. We confirm your price on WhatsApp before you commit.
FAQ
A human transcript in the language spoken, with speaker labels, timestamps and notes on unclear passages, then a translation of that transcript into Arabic, English or another language. You choose the transcript, the translation or both, and whether the translation is certified.
Full verbatim records everything: fillers, repetitions, false starts, laughter and interruptions. Clean verbatim removes fillers and stutters but does not paraphrase or summarise. For evidence and investigations choose full verbatim; for meetings and interviews clean verbatim is easier to read.
Yes. UAE courts work in Arabic, so a recording in another language normally needs a transcript in the original language and a certified Arabic translation of it. Whether the recording may be used is for your lawyer to decide first. Our article on audio evidence transcription for UAE courts covers that side. The court may also appoint its own expert or translator.
We mark them with a timestamp, for example [inaudible 00:04:51] or [crosstalk], instead of guessing. Where a word is probable but not certain, we flag it as such. Background noise, overlapping speech and low volume all increase the number of these notes.
Common formats such as MP3, M4A, WAV, OPUS and OGG voice notes, MP4 and MOV video, and recordings exported from Zoom or Teams. Send the original file rather than a re-recording from a speaker or a compressed copy, because quality affects accuracy.
Yes, on request. Tell us every language and dialect you hear and we confirm whether we can take the file before quoting.
It is quoted on request after we hear the file, because the length, sound quality, number of speakers and languages drive the effort. We confirm the price and format on WhatsApp before any work starts.
Automatic transcripts drop and invent words, especially with accents, dialect and background noise, so we do not deliver them as a transcript. Every transcript we deliver is produced and checked by a person listening to the audio. Every certified translation is produced and checked by a licensed human translator.
No. This page is about turning speech in audio or video into text. If you need your university transcript (grade sheet) translated for equivalency or admission, see our academic transcript translation page.
Tell us when a recording contains unpublished or sensitive information, and we will discuss your confidentiality requirements, including any NDA you need, before you send it. Every certified translation is produced and checked by a licensed human translator.
