I will transcribe your audio or video accurately with timestamps

I will transcribe your audio or video accurately into clean, readable text with precise timestamps, delivered in the format you need and ready to use.

Whether you have a single interview, a stack of podcast episodes, a recorded webinar, or hours of raw footage, I turn spoken audio into accurate written transcripts you can actually work with. Every file is transcribed by ear, reviewed line by line, and time-coded so you can jump straight to any moment. No raw machine output, no guesswork left in the gaps.

What you get

• A complete, accurate transcript of your audio or video, typed and proofread by a human ear rather than dumped from an unedited auto-tool
• Timestamps inserted at clear, consistent intervals (or at every speaker change, your choice) so you can navigate back to any spoken moment quickly
• Speaker labels (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, or real names if you provide them) so conversations, interviews, and panels stay easy to follow
• Clean formatting with proper paragraphs, sentence casing, and punctuation, so the text reads naturally instead of one endless block
• Your choice of delivery format: plain TXT, Microsoft Word (DOCX), or a subtitle file (SRT/VTT) when you need time-coded captions
• Sensible handling of filler words: I can keep a clean "intelligent verbatim" version (removing ums, false starts, and stutters) or a strict full-verbatim version that captures every sound, depending on what you select
• Inaudible or unclear sections clearly tagged with a timestamp (for example, [inaudible 00:12:43]) instead of being silently invented or skipped
• A consistent style throughout the whole file, even across long recordings and multiple speakers
• One round of corrections after delivery so anything that needs adjusting gets fixed

How it works

1. You place your order and send me the audio or video file (or a private, downloadable link). Tell me the format you want, your timestamp preference, whether you need clean or full verbatim, and any names, technical terms, or spellings I should get right.
2. I listen through the recording once to gauge audio quality, accents, number of speakers, and any tricky sections, then confirm scope or timing with you if anything is unclear.
3. I transcribe the file by ear, typing out the spoken content, labeling speakers, and inserting timestamps as we agreed.
4. I run a dedicated proofreading pass against the audio, checking punctuation, names, numbers, and any sections I flagged, and tightening the formatting so it reads cleanly.
5. I export your transcript in the chosen format and deliver it to you, with any inaudible spots clearly marked by timestamp.
6. You review it and request any corrections. I apply your revisions and send the final version back to you.

Why choose this

Automated transcription is fast, but it stumbles on accents, crosstalk, background noise, names, jargon, and homophones, and it rarely formats anything in a way you'd want to publish. I work the other way around: a careful human ear first, with accuracy and readability as the goal, not just a rough draft you still have to fix yourself.

You get a real person who listens to the whole recording, asks questions when the audio is genuinely unclear instead of guessing, and flags uncertain moments honestly rather than burying mistakes in confident-sounding text. The result is a transcript you can quote, caption, subtitle, repurpose, or hand to a colleague without embarrassment. Clear communication, on-time delivery, and consistent formatting across the entire file are the standard here, not the upsell.

Who it's for / use cases

• Podcasters and YouTubers who want show notes, blog posts, or accurate captions built from their episodes
• Journalists and researchers transcribing interviews, focus groups, and field recordings for quotes and analysis
• Students and academics turning recorded lectures, oral histories, or qualitative interviews into searchable text
• Businesses documenting meetings, webinars, training sessions, and customer calls
• Content creators and marketers repurposing video and audio into articles, social clips, and subtitles
• Legal, medical, and other professionals who need a careful written record of recorded conversations (general transcription, not certified court reporting)
• Anyone who needs an accessible, time-coded text version of spoken content

FAQ

Q: What languages do you transcribe? I transcribe clear English-language audio, including a range of accents. If you're unsure whether your recording is a good fit, send me a short sample first and I'll let you know honestly before you order.

Q: What audio and video formats can you work with? Common formats like MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, and similar all work fine. If you have something unusual, message me first and we'll sort out the best way to share it.

Q: How accurate is the transcript? For clear audio with distinct speakers, the transcript is highly accurate because it's done and proofread by ear. Heavy background noise, strong crosstalk, or muffled recordings naturally lower accuracy, and in those cases I mark uncertain spots with a timestamp rather than inventing words.

Q: Can you include timestamps and speaker labels? Yes. Timestamps can be placed at regular intervals or at each speaker change, and speakers are labeled generically or with real names if you provide them. Just tell me your preference when you order.

Q: Do you offer clean (edited) or full verbatim transcription? Both. Clean verbatim removes ums, false starts, and filler for readability, while full verbatim captures everything spoken, including stutters and non-verbal cues. Pick whichever fits your purpose.

Q: What if part of the audio is unclear or inaudible? I tag those moments with a timestamp and a clear marker like [inaudible] or [unclear] so you know exactly where to listen yourself. I never fabricate content to fill a gap.

Q: How is my file kept private? Your recordings and transcripts are treated as confidential and used only to complete your order. I'm happy to delete files after delivery on request.

Q: What format will I receive the transcript in? Depending on your plan, you'll get TXT, DOCX, or a subtitle file (SRT/VTT). Let me know your intended use and I'll recommend the format that works best.
