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