Verbatim and Semi-Verbatim Transcription Services

Verbatim and Semi-Verbatim Transcription Services in the USA

We specialize in delivering professional, reliable transcription services to clients across the United States. Whether your project demands a raw, unfiltered word-for-word account or a cleaned-up transcript that keeps the message intact, we have the experience and flexibility to meet your needs with accuracy and care.

Our human-generated transcription services are trusted by professionals in law, research, government agencies, media, healthcare, business and beyond. We offer both verbatim and semi-verbatim transcription – each tailored for your specific purpose.

Two Formats. One Standard: Accuracy.

Not all transcripts are created equal. Some require full depth of speech, including every filler, pause and nuance. Others demand clarity and flow, especially when being shared with a wider audience. That’s why we offer two core transcription styles:

This is the most detailed form of transcription – capturing everything exactly as it was said. That includes:

  • Filler words (“uh,” “um,” “you know”)
  • Repetitions and false starts
  • Stutters and pauses
  • Emotional cues (laughs, sighs, hesitations)

Verbatim transcription is ideal for:

  • Legal proceedings
  • Law enforcement recordings
  • Academic interviews and case studies
  • Disciplinary hearings or compliance investigations
  • Mental health or therapy sessions

When context, tone and raw detail matter, verbatim transcription is the format professional’s trust.

Clean verbatim strips away the distractions while preserving the speaker’s message. It removes the “ums,” false starts and other non-essential speech elements, making it easier to read and digest.

Perfect for:

  • Corporate meetings and reports
  • Media interviews
  • Podcasts and online content
  • Educational material
  • Market research and surveys

Clean, polished and accurate—semi-verbatim lets your content shine while maintaining integrity.

You’re working with sensitive content, tight deadlines and specific formatting requirements. We understand how important it is that your transcript is:

  • Accurate and easy to follow
  • Formatted to your standards
  • Handled with confidentiality and care
  • Managed by a responsive, professional team

Our transcriptionists are US-based and trained to handle complex files, difficult accents and specialized industry terminology. No matter your niche, your content is in capable hands.

No Shortcuts. No Machines. Just Real,
Human Accuracy.

While automated tools may be quick, they often lack the depth and reliability you need. At Word Tech Secretarial Service, every transcription is done manually, by people who understand the nuances of spoken English—slang, tone, interruptions and emotional weight.

That human attention to detail means:

  • Accurate representation of each speaker
  • Proper context, even in multi-speaker conversations
  • Consistent formatting and punctuation
  • Fewer errors, less editing on your end
  • Transcripts you can trust from the start

From legal firms and universities to podcast creators and corporate clients, we’re proud to be the go-to transcription partner for those who value precision over automation.
