Video Transcription Services
Transcripts and timestamped text for video, ready for captioning, subtitling, or search.
Who this is for
Marketing teams, training departments, media producers, and anyone publishing video who needs accurate text alongside it.
What you get back
The transcript and the fields, side by side
Every extracted value carries a confidence score and the quote it came from, so a reviewer can see why a value was read that way - and which ones need a second look.
- 08:11Researcher: How did your team decide which measure to use for the second round?
- 08:20Participant: We went with the shorter instrument, mainly for completion rates.
- 08:44Participant: The attrition between rounds was about eighteen percent, which surprised us.
- 09:02Researcher: Was that consistent across the two sites?
- 09:07Participant: I would have to check the site-level numbers before saying.

How video transcription works
Video transcription serves two purposes that pull in different directions: a readable transcript for people, and timestamped text for machines that generate captions. We produce both from the same file rather than making you order twice.
Timestamps are priced at $0.25 per minute, the same as audio, which is what makes the output usable for caption files and for linking a viewer to a specific moment. Without them you have a transcript; with them you have something a player can use.
Accurate captions also do practical work beyond accessibility - they make video content searchable and indexable, which is usually the reason a marketing team asks for them in the first place.

Video Transcription questions
How much does video transcription cost?
$2.00 per minute on 4-day standard turnaround, $2.85 for 48-hour rush, and $4.00 for 24-hour same day. Timestamps add $0.25 per minute. Minimum fees are $30 for standard, $45 for rush, and $60 for same day. Video is priced above audio because it goes through an extraction step before transcription.
Do you provide timestamps for captions and subtitles?
Yes, at $0.25 per minute. Timestamps are what turn a transcript into something a video player or captioning tool can use, so if captions are the goal, include them in the order.
What video formats do you accept?
MP4, MOV, and WebM. We transcribe the audio track, so a screen recording with clear narration works as well as a filmed interview.
