Answers to your questions about Portuguese transcription services
How much does a Portuguese transcription cost?
The price of a Portuguese transcription depends on criteria such as the length of the original recording, the type of content (technical, legal, medical, etc.) and any other requirements you may have, such as an urgent request. To find out the exact cost of your Portuguese transcription, please send us a free online quotation request.
What format should I choose to send the file for my Portuguese transcription request?
We can process a wide range of video and audio formats: MPEG; AVI; WAV; AIFF; MP3; AAC; MP4; AVI; MOV, etc. Simply choose which format you want to send your file in. We do ask you to check the quality of the audio though as it is essential that the exchanges are clear and intelligible.
How can I get a free Portuguese transcription?
To obtain a free transcription in Portuguese, you will need to do it manually. However, it takes an average of 6 hours of work for 1 hour of audio and is therefore a long and tedious task. For a low-cost Portuguese transcription, you can also use automatic online transcription software, but the end result is rarely reliable and very often contains errors and can be quite crude.
