Transcription Service

Q: How soon can I get my file transcribed?

We have a large network of transc ribers that deliver monolingual and translated or bilingual transcripts in Dari, Pashto and other emerging languages. While we can handle large volumes and quantities of audio or video content for transcription, many factors affect the amount of time it takes to create a professional transcript. For example, the clarity and volume of sound in your file can make the process faster and lack thereof will make it cumbersome and take longer.

Afghan Translation Service has over 2 decades of experience in transcribing audio and video content for clients in North America and Europe. With a vast network of Dari and Pashto transcribers, as well as resources for other emerging languages, we are able to process large volumes of speech to text transcription within short deadlines. We use state-of-the-art transcription technology powered by professional transcribers to produce accurate, complete and correct transcripts in both the speech language as well as you are target language.

Monolingual

We provide monolingual transcription services for audio and video content that requires a transcript in the same language as speech. This requires careful analysis of the source audio, such that every utterance and speech content is captured in the same language. Our Dari and Pashto transcription services makes it possible to create transcripts in these languages that are time coded, diarized (speakers identified) and describes background and other events within the conversation. Reach out today to discuss your transcription requirements.

Bilingual

Our Dari and Pashto transcription service is also available for bilingual transcripts. Assuming you have a Dari or Pashto video that you need to transcribe in English, we will assign a qualified transcriber with translation expertise to directly word-process every Dari or Pashto utterance into English text. Along with a surgically accurate tool that reads and assigns timecodes, our professional transcribers ensure we capture the meaning in the target language within the time-frame allowed, such as capturing every 5 seconds of speech. You can be assured that you will be provided a final transcript that can be readily used at the setting and language of your choice.

Professional team, great customer service, easy to understand workflow. I highly recommend ATS for your transcription work.

Jonathan ChurchContent Manager

I had a lot of interviews with my clients who spoke only Dari. Afghan Translation Service got them all documented in English quickly and at a very good price. I couldn't be happier with the service.

Patrica SmithCase Worker

I work for a law firm and we needed to understand pashto speech in our discovery content. Our friends at Afghan helped us get a full picture from the large volume of audio file.
