Transcription is the process of converting audio or video recordings into written text, with or without the inclusion of timestamps. They can be:
Verbatim Transcription / Deposition Transcription
Verbatim transcription involves the accurate recording of the content by the professional, preserving all language quirks, grammatical errors, and other peculiarities, if any, without making any alterations.
To have legal validity (deposition transcription), a notary registration at a notary office is required, in which the professional will transcribe the content without modifying the original.
Adapted Transcription
An adapted transcription will adjust the original content for easier readability and comprehension, removing language quirks, grammatical errors, and other peculiarities that might hinder its understanding. The aim is to enhance clarity and accessibility of the text, while preserving its original message.
