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

FAQ

WHERE IS ITALIAN SPOKEN?

Italian is spoken in more than 30 countries around the world, along with being the official language of Italy, San Marino, Switzerland, the Vatican City and some parts of Croatia and Slovenia. There are approximately 63 million people in the world who speak Italian as their first language with around another 3 million speaking Italian as their second language.

IS THE ITALIAN ALPHABET DIFFERENT FROM THE ENGLISH ALPHABET?

The Italian Alphabet ( l’alfabeto Italiano) has 21 letters, the letters are all shared by the English alphabet, but crucially they are not pronounced the same way and the letters J, K, W, X and Y are rare in Italian.

In addition to this Italian letters use an accent system meaning that an accent on the word changes the way it sounds and indicates the pronunciation should be stressed in a different way.

Italian accents can seem complicated but our skilled native-speaking Italian transcriptionists are highly accustomed to these and are able to quickly and accurately transcribe or translate your Italian audio files.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST FOR AN ITALIAN TRANSCRIPTION SERVICE?

When you are looking for a transcription agency to transcribe or translate Italian audio it can be difficult to find a high quality yet cost-effective solution.

To help separate us from the crowd we have simplified the pricing structure for our multilingual audio transcription services – making what we can do for you clear from the very beginning.

Our Italian transcription services are charged per minute of audio recording, so you can trust Absolute Translations to provide 100% accurate transcripts that are also great value! To get a totally transparent quote with no hidden fees, complete the simple form above.

HOW TO DISTINGUISH THE BEST FROM A CROWD OF ITALIAN TRANSCRIPTION COMPANIES?

Finding trustworthy Italian transcription services, with a proven track record requires a proper screening process.

At Absolute Translations, we have worked with private individuals as well as public and government entities for more than 20 years, transcribing Italian for personal, business and travel purposes.

As a true-to-life Italian transcription service, we help you show your readers all the wonders of Italy though high-quality transcripts of recorded interviews, conference calls, face-to-face talks and much more.

Plus our four-level service structure allows you to pick the best fit for your Italian transcription needs and budget.

CAN SPEECH RECOGNITION SOFTWARE BE USED TO TRANSCRIBE ITALIAN AUDIO?

Whilst in theory, speech recognition software can be used to transcribe audio files, a computer can be limited in its capacity to express the passion, excitement, and rich charisma of the Italian language.

Italian is well known for being lively and full of emotion, which a software programme may not be able to express or understand. In addition background noise such as the sound of busy kitchens, and strong regional accents are all things that mean computers struggle to produce totally accurate and reliable transcriptions.

So, whilst it might be tempting to use speech recognition software for your Italian transcription, a human undoubtedly provides a much better service and saves you the struggle of meticulously proofreading something produced by a computer programme that cannot understand the context of your Italian media or audio files.

SHOULD ITALIAN TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES BE USED FOR BUSINESS?

The demand for Italian audio transcription has steadily increased in the past few years with many industries like media, technology, and financial services using professional transcription services to boost productivity, improve customer service and reduce costs.

In fact, transcription and interpreting services for Italian speakers are especially useful for international organisations that interact regularly with people whose mother tongue is Italian. So, if your business operates in Italy or any other Italian speaking country, an Italian transcription service can be a valuable aid.

As a professional translation company, we offer a range of business-oriented Italian transcription services done by professional, native speaking transcriptionists with excellent verbal, grammar, spelling, timing and comprehension skills.

If you are looking to turn your Italian audio files into professional, localized content, you can rely on our native-tongue Italian transcription professionals to accurately transcribe and translate your audio material in 200+ languages and dialects.

Our clients choose our Italian transcription services because of our excellent reputation for accurate transcribing, ability to process large volumes of audio or video recording, and our speedy turnaround times.
