Why use a professional transcriber for transcription in French?
Professional transcription is the most reliable and secure method available. There are many automatic transcription programs, but the quality is rarely good. You can also do the transcription manually, yourself, but this is extremely time-consuming and tedious. Using a professional transcriber will ensure that the transcription is smooth and that the entire speech is rendered reliably and accurately.
