Answers to your questions about Dutch transcription services

The price of a professional Dutch transcription will be determined by the length of the audio or video sent, the subject of the exchange (legal, medical, scientific, technical, etc.) and the type of transcription (verbatim transcription, transcription of an interview between two or more people, etc.).

On average, it takes between 6 and 7 hours of work per hour of recording to produce a complete word-for-word transcription. During the transcription process the audio is replayed several times and it demands a great deal of concentration and attention to detail to transcribe the content faithfully and without omissions.

There are many automatic transcription tools available on the market today, at attractive rates. However, it is important to bear in mind that most of these programs produce a very shaky result that is often not faithful to the original audio. The transcribed document can contain numerous language errors and crude syntactical and lexical mistakes.

You can consider manual transcription, but this method is particularly time-consuming: each hour of recording requires almost 6 hours of work. Given these limitations, if you want a fast, high-quality, error-free transcription, you should use a professional transcriber.
