Will TranscribeCheap sign a non-disclosure agreement?



Of course. We keep all client information confidential, all the time. Where a NDA is specifically needed, we're happy to sign yours.



What format will I receive completed transcriptions in?



All transcriptions are delivered as Microsoft Word documents. (Certified transcriptions are delivered as .pdf documents, to ensure the accuracy of the certification.)



What if my audio is really difficult?



We'll do our best to capture what's audible. We can also work to modulate audio files where what’s spoken is otherwise inaudible. Pricing is from $25 per audio file, please enquire for more info.



What if I need to present the transcription in court?



We're members of AAERT, the professional transcription organization, and can certify the transcription for you.



What if I need a super highly polished transcription?



We'd encourage you to order the 'professional editing' as an addition to the transcription, to have an extra set of ears review and revise the transcription.



Oops, I uploaded the wrong file... can you refund me?



Per our terms, we're only able to refund work that isn't yet completed. IF you need us to stop, let us know ASAP, and we'll be happy to refund whatever wasn't transcribed.



What if my audio file is just two minutes long?



We have a 15 minute minimum order. This generally doesn’t apply in orders where there are multiple files totaling more than 15 minutes. Please enquire for more info.



Terms, conditions...?



You betcha! Terms and Conditions
