The work
Transcribing interviews, podcasts, meetings and video to text
Captions and subtitles with accurate timecodes, in SRT or VTT
Verbatim or clean-read, speaker labels, and multilingual transcription
Timecoding, quality-checking and proofreading existing transcripts
Vetting for this role
General vetting isn't enough. These are the checks specific to this role, on top of the skill tests every applicant takes.
A real test file, not a résumé
We send a short, messy clip and read the transcript back against the audio. Accuracy and timing are what count.
Timecodes that line up
We play their captions on the video. Subtitles that drift out of sync don't make the shortlist.
The right style for the job
Verbatim, clean-read, legal, medical — different jobs need different rules. We shortlist people who have worked in yours.
Typical engagements
A few days per batch
A set of recordings transcribed or captioned to a deadline, priced per audio minute or per file.
Ongoing, weekly
A steady stream of podcasts, videos or interviews, with the same person who learns your names and style.
Monthly, part-time
Someone to caption new videos and quality-check transcripts as they come, without a full-time hire.
Typical ranges, not quotes. Your brief decides the scope and the timeline.
Transcription & captioning: questions
Verbatim keeps every um, pause and false start; clean-read removes them for readability. Tell us the use — subtitles, research, legal — and we'll shortlist people who work that way.
Yes. Tell us the format and the platform, and whether you need burned-in captions or a separate subtitle file. Timecoding is part of the job.
Yes. Many people in the pool transcribe or subtitle in two or more languages, including translated subtitles. Put the languages in your brief.
