Intelligent Verbatim
Edited
This is a full and accurate script that has been formalised. Often used by lecturers or conference organisers it is edited for readability and clarity. In other words, a clear and easy to read transcript appropriate for B2B communications and publishing houses (particularly academic reports).
Verbatim
Meaning “word for word”, this includes every utterance, cough, pause, unfinished sentence, stutters and stammers. In other words, it is a 100% accurate record, where humanly possible. Clients requiring verbatim are interested in the psychology behind the audio. As a result, this service is commonly used by the Police, Courts, Forensic Accountants, and Market Researchers.This is our most expensive service.
