Common mistakes

Speech is not written text

Accents and recording quality

Speakers interrupt each other and have accents, and the recording is noisy. Automated systems stumble on material like this, while a human translator makes out the speech and marks the inaudible parts.

Subtitles have length limits

Viewers can only read a few words per second. Subtitles have to be shortened without losing the meaning, or the text won't keep up with the picture.

I'm gonna be honest with you, it's been a really tough year.

Я собираюсь быть честным с вами, это был действительно очень тяжёлый год.

Честно скажу: год был тяжёлый.

Colloquial expressions

Live speech is full of idioms, slang and unfinished sentences. They need to come across the way a native speaker would say them, not word for word.

It's raining cats and dogs.

Идёт дождь из кошек и собак.

Льёт как из ведра.

Price

How much does audio and video translation cost

Audio and video are priced by the length of the recording, not by word count. All plans

Price

$5per minute of recording

Transcription and translation in one price. For example, a 30-minute recording costs $150. Poor audio, many speakers or a tight deadline we'll discuss separately once we've listened to the file.

Audio and video translation: what you should know

How we translate audio and video

  • We listen to the recording. We assess the subject, sound quality and difficulty so we can quote an exact price and deadline.
  • We identify the speakers. Every participant is labeled, so the transcript and translation show clearly who said what.
  • We transcribe. Speech is written down with timestamps. Specialized software helps place timecodes and mark speakers.
  • We translate and check. The translator takes context and tone into account, then the text gets another review.
  • We deliver in the format you need. As text with timecodes or as a subtitle file.

Why not machine translation

Automated systems turn speech into text quickly but struggle with accents, interruptions and background noise. A human translator recognizes accents and dialects, understands idioms and colloquial speech, and when a speaker rambles, conveys their point clearly without distorting the meaning.

How we price it

We price audio translation per minute of recording, so you know the cost up front. The rate is $5 per minute, transcription included. A minute of speech contains about 120 words on average, so a 30-minute recording is roughly 3,600 words.
