Automated Transcription Editing Service – UK based Human Transcribers
Automated transcripts generated by AI can be useful—especially for single-speaker recordings or as a prompt to help you remember a discussion. However, once you have two speakers or more, the AI often gets confused. Add project-specific terminology or strong accents and it can produce a transcript that’s hard to read and risky to rely on.
AI-generated transcripts also rarely capture pauses, tone or emotion. For oral history and qualitative research interviews, these cues matter because interviewees often communicate more than just words.
How our human editors fix AI transcripts
- Listen-through editing: Skilled transcriptionists edit the automated text while listening to your original recording to correct omissions and errors.
- Speaker accuracy: We resolve misattributions and label speakers consistently (e.g. Speaker 1, Speaker 2, or supplied names).
- Project familiarity: We review your brief, topic and terminology so sector-specific language is transcribed correctly.
- Readable formatting: We remove auto-generated timestamps and add clear 10-minute timestamps for easy reference.
- Qualitative nuance: Where helpful, we note pauses, laughter and key non-verbal cues often missed by AI.
- Security & GDPR: Files are handled confidentially with secure transfer and storage.
When to choose editing vs full transcription
Send us your transcript and the original audio. We will advise which service is best for you. If the AI output is broadly accurate, editing can be the fastest, most cost-effective route. If the audio is challenging (multiple overlaps, heavy background noise, many accents), a fresh human transcription may actually be quicker — and therefore cheaper — than repairing a poor machine draft.
