Languages R Us, Inc. provides transcription for academic, legal, business, investigative, conference, or verbatim transcripts. Transcription services involve the conversion of an audio feed to a text format. Languages R Us, Inc., provides service in many major languages transcribing from a number of formats including Audio Tapes, CDs, Audio Cassettes, Video Cassettes, Micro Cassettes, MP3, MP4, etc. Languages R Us has provided transcriptions for media, television, digital audio and video interviews, recorded investigative interviews, speeches, conference calls, seminars, multi-person interviews, and legal depositions.
When clients request audio recordings to be translated, LRU assigns a transcriptionist to transcribe the text into the original source language, and then a target language linguist to translate the text. This two-phase transcription/translation process is more time consuming and costly than using one translator for the entire process, however, it ensures a significantly higher-quality output than direct translation / transcription to the target language, which skips the transcription step of the original language, and is especially important for legal materials such as investigative confessions and interviews by law enforcement. LRU provides clients with a dedicated professional transcribing and translation team to convert files from audio to text format in any language.
