Translation from Audio
Technology and skill
Translation from audio is often used to present evidence recorded in other languages, including interviews, phone calls, voice mail, and police surveillance. Of course, we work with covert recordings only when they have been obtained legally.
When audio is recorded in less-than-ideal conditions, we use a range of technical solutions to reduce background noise, cut out recording hum, and increase the volume and clarity of the target speech.
Our skilled translators then render the improved audio into English (or whatever languages you require).

Techniques to match your requirements
We offer two types of translation from audio.
1) A general translation: appropriate when you need a good general picture of the topics discussed on the audio, but not necessarily a word-for-word translation. This is a fast and very cost-effective technique, and can be extremely helpful in pinpointing the relevant sections of long recordings.
2) A word-for-word translation: in this technique, we transcribe all the audio word-for-word in its original language. Then we translate it into the target language. The result is highly accurate, and the pairing of the original-language transcript with its translation provides a superb audit trail.
