Verbatim transcription FAQs

What is verbatim transcription?

Verbatim transcription is the process of capturing every single word and sound exactly as spoken in an audio or video recording.

This includes pauses, hesitations, false starts, repetitions and filler words such as “um” and “you know.”

It’s the most detailed form of transcription, ideal for research, interviews and legal or compliance-related work.

When should I choose verbatim transcription?

You should choose verbatim transcription when every word and nuance matters.

It’s often requested for qualitative research, focus groups, interviews, legal proceedings and academic studies where tone, emotion or language patterns provide valuable insight.

What’s the difference between verbatim and intelligent transcription?

In verbatim transcription, nothing is edited or omitted.

Intelligent transcription, on the other hand, removes filler words and corrects grammar for readability while keeping the speaker’s intended meaning.

Can TauRho handle confidential or sensitive recordings?

TauRho operates within a fully GDPR-compliant framework.

All uploads and deliveries take place through our secure client portal, which includes encrypted file transfer and auditable workflows to ensure complete data security.
