I received excellent service from this company. Their prices were by far the best for doing a transcription with translation.

Great Service, Quick Turnaround, Positive Experience

Great, responsive communication from Melis at Absolute Translations. As I'm on a v. limited budget, I chose to translate the document in question myself (being fluent in both languages). Absolute were happy to proof and certify my translation, no quibbles, allowing me to remain solvent! I am very grateful for the service that was provided; quick turnaround and I was able to collect in person at their London offices. Now, let's hope HM Gov accept!

FAQ

WHY IS CHINESE TRANSCRIPTION USEFUL FOR BUSINESS?

Steadfastly answer the requirements of business law around the globe. Record and file minutes, tribunals, and interviews using 200+ combinations of language. From everyday documentation of spoken transactions to extraordinary general meetings, trust our business-expert Chinese transcription services to help you file on time, no matter if you’re overseeing a merger or moving your business into new territory.

At Absolute Translations, we can handle your full range of audio-visual transcription projects. Whatever you need transcribing we are here to help so whether you are recording meeting minutes, or filing interviews and copy, you can rely on us to ensure your words are written down correctly.  Our work is trusted by some of the largest international companies including the Bank of China, UNESCO, Unilever and China Telecom.

HOW CAN I GET SPECIALIST SUBJECT CHINESE TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES?

You can rest easy knowing all our translators are native speakers familiar with regional variations, vocabularies and dialects. They’re often also specialists in a particular field, so if for example, you need speeches from a business conference transcribed in Mandarin Chinese, we would match you with a specialist translator who is not only a language expert but is also used to the vocabulary and requirements of your specific field of business.

We have also worked with international broadcasters and filmmakers such as the BBC, Discovery Channel and Sky, so when it comes to Chinese transcriptions for media we have you covered too.


HOW FAST CAN YOU TRANSCRIBE CHINESE FOR NEWS AND BROADCASTING?

When time is of the essence you need a transcription service you can rely on. Our offering of flexible and expedited turnaround times including same-day transcription for urgent and time-sensitive projects ensures an accurate and prompt service every time

Choose from a range of transcription options including transcription only, transcription and translation, and transcription directly into the target language.

WHY IS TRANSCRIBING CHINESE SO COMPLEX?

As Chinese is a tonal language, almost all words have several meanings depending on the tone used when spoken. The person transcribing Chinese audio must have an absolute understanding of the context of the audio to be able to record the words correctly.

In addition to this, there are many Chinese dialects, the difference between Cantonese and Mandarin, for example, can be massive. Both these dialects use the same characters but are hugely different when spoken aloud.

Transcribers need to be fast and accurate, and they need to know and understand the language they are working on, which is why we only employ native-speaking Chinese translators and transcribers.

HOW ENSURE THE MOST ACCURATE CHINESE TRANSCRIPTIONS?

From China to London we ensure your company documents are legible in any language. Our transcriptionists and Chinese translators are backed up by editors, proof readers and typesetters familiar with setting traditional, simplified, and alternative Chinese characters. 

What’s more, we offer a direct-to-target transcription service for clients that don’t need transcriptions in the source language. Whichever service you choose, we guarantee a fast, reliable service and the best prices in the business. A fact borne out by our two ISO certifications – including ISO 17100:2015, which is given only to a very few translation companies, working at the top of the language industry.
