Foreign Language Transcription and Translation

World Translation Center can transcribe any audio file in any language as a text file or translate directly from the audio file into the requested language.

Transcription and translation involves our professional translators watching or listening to your recording and writing down the speech involved. The script is then translated into the target language. In the alternative, we can translate directly from the audio file without first writing down the original text. Time codes can be added for subtitling use or added to appear every time a new person is speaking, or at the start of each page.

All current media formats accepted including: DVD video, CD audio, cassette tapes, and VHS tapes. We also encourage customers to upload to our FTP site using current digital file formats, including MP3, WMA, WAV, AIFF, AAC, and more.
