Transcription Services and Translation Services Understanding Your Options
When using a transcription services company for translations, you have two options and these are either direct translation (from source audio or video to translated text) or transcription then translation (from source audio or video to source text – then translating the text). If you aren’t sure which suits you, here are some advantages and disadvantages to each option to help you decide.
Direct Audio or Video Transcription/Translation Services (Advantages)
Translating directly from source audio to target language can be useful if you are on a budget as it can work out a cheaper option.
Translating directly from source to target language is generally faster than transcription and then translation.
Direct Audio or Video Transcription/Translation Services (Disadvantages)
Translating directly from source to target language can produce a translated text that is less polished and more clunky than a translated document.
Translating directions from source to target language is unsuitable for subtitling or captioning as the timings need to be precise and the text needs to be edited and proofread for optimum readability.
