Full transcription (verbatim)
A verbatim transcription is, as the name suggests, a transcription that aims to reproduce the entire audio or video recording in writing. Every word is taken into account, and the transcriber also makes annotations, in brackets, relating to ambient sounds and the tone of the speech (hesitations, laughter, applause, protests, etc.). Errors, slips of the tongue and repetitions are corrected only at the client's request.
-

Answers to your questions about professional English transcription
The price of an English transcription varies greatly and depends primarily on the length of the audio or video recording. But the cost can also be affected by the type of content (the price will not be the same for a medical transcription as for a general transcription) as well as by the client's specific requests (correction of errors and repetitions, urgent transcriptions, or translations of transcriptions etc.).
For a good quality English transcription, use a professional and experienced transcriber. The transcriber should be from the country in which the transcription is to take place (UK, USA, etc.). There are many linguistic differences from one English-speaking country to another, in terms of grammar, spelling, vocabulary, etc.
If you want to have a free English transcription, you will have to transcribe it manually yourself. Although this method is free, it is very time-consuming and tedious. It takes about 6 hours of work for one hour of recording.
