Questions

Spanish transcription FAQ

How much does Spanish transcription cost?
Per audio minute: $4.99 for a Spanish transcript, $6.99 for an English transcript of Spanish audio, and $10.99 for both the Spanish transcript and the English translation. Speaker tracking and timestamps are add-ons; HIPAA Safe Harbor de-identification is included.
How long does Spanish transcription take?
Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days. Rush turnaround is available at an additional charge based on project size and current capacity.
Who transcribes and translates the recordings?
Native Spanish speakers transcribe the audio, and native speakers of the target language translate it. Every transcript is proofread by a second person before delivery. Regional Spanish and dialect are respected rather than flattened.
What kinds of Spanish recordings do you handle?
Research interviews, focus groups, Zoom and Teams recordings, oral histories, and conference or lecture audio, in all common audio and video formats.
Can I get the Spanish transcript and the English translation together?
Yes. The $10.99 per audio minute option delivers both, formatted the same way so you can code in either language. Transcripts are delivered ready for NVivo, ATLAS.ti, Dedoose and MAXQDA.
Is Spanish transcription HIPAA compliant?
Yes. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, BAAs are in place with many universities, NDAs are available on request, and HIPAA Safe Harbor de-identification of all 18 identifiers is included.
Do you translate documents as well as recordings?
Yes. Consent forms, recruitment materials, interview guides and instruments are translated by native speakers and quoted by length. See the translation page for details.
