We are currently planning a series of upcoming multilingual transcription & VO Recording projects and are assessing linguistic availability, capacity, and expertise across a wide range of languages.
We are looking to collaborate with professional transcriptionists, reviewers, or language partners who can support projects at scale.
Project Overview
Service: Audio Transcription + Senior Linguist Review (Proofreading & Cultural Validation)
Volume: Approx. 25 audio hours per language
Engagement: Project-based / ongoing collaboration
Deliverables: High-quality, dialect-accurate transcriptions
Information Required
Please indicate the following for the languages you can support:
Manageability – Level of comfort/expertise
(Easy / Moderate / Difficult / Extremely Difficult)
Ramp-up Time – Time required to onboard and brief resources
Capacity – Ability to handle ~25 audio hours within standard TAT
Pricing – Hourly rate (USD) for senior-level review (proofreading & cultural validation)
Dialect Handling
In many cases, the exact dialect may not be known in advance. We are seeking partners who can:
Proactively identify regional dialects
Ensure transcription accuracy aligned with local linguistic context
Flag dialect-specific content and assign appropriate native specialists
QA & Workflow Clarifications
Please also confirm:
Do you have a process to flag regional dialects (e.g., Swiss German, Canadian French)?
Does every transcript undergo second-level QA/review?
Is time-stamping and speaker identification included or charged separately?
Are you open to completing a trial transcription for quality calibration?
