A Note about SMPTE Time coded Transcripts.

If a client requests for a time code, for the transcription project assigned, arrangements can be made to insert a visible time code at the beginning of the answer and roughly every 30 seconds thereafter, if the footage consists of interviews.

It must be mentioned that time coding for normal transcriptions is accurate to +/- 2 to 3 seconds, only full continuities offer frame accurate time code, and if the footage is unstructured, just as it is in reality TV shows, then a time code will be inserted every 30 seconds, since no obvious place will be available to mark the beginning and end of an audio response.

For time code transcriptions, the content should be submitted on DVD, MP4 digital files or VHS with a visible time code burn, VHS tapes should be recorded in SP mode with HIFI sound and clients should make sure ELP or SLP recording modes are not selected when making the dubs. Our preferred medium of transcription will be a DVD than a VHS. We also offer time coding from audio cassettes and digital audio files such as MP3 or WAV that have audible time code.

Time stamps can also be provided in lieu of Time code when content is submitted without any Visible or Audible Time code. Time stamping only references the head of the counter and the master tapes submitted, time stamping starts from 0: 00: 00.

About Feature Film & Television shows Continuities.

A special mention needs to be made, of transcription that applies to broadcast delivery versions of motion pictures, television shows or documentaries.

The term "Full Continuity" transcript means a precise detailed cut-by-cut transcription that has the entire dialog, music, cues, credits, on screen graphics, scene descriptions, time code and feet or frame as applicable, a time code spotting is carried out on a cut-by-cut basis or for each line of dialog as desired.

A Cut-by-Cut spotting will have a time code mark at the beginning and end of the edit.
Dialog spotting is very pronounced and indicates that each line of dialog is marked with time code at the beginning and end of each shot.

Accurate text transcripts of reality television footage with B-Roll.

This kind of transcription applies to documentary and television projects where the raw footage is completely unstructured and the audio data needs to be transcribed.

Every attempt is made to identify each person speaking, and includes a brief description of what is happening, the descriptions could be general in nature. We do not provide "B-Roll Logging" services. Audio that is relevant will only be transcribed, and chatter between the production crew that is not relevant to the footage is not transcribed.

If the content submitted for transcription has a mix of "Reality" footage and "on-the-fly" interviews and you want the whole thing transcribed, that tape will be billed at the Reality tv footage rates.
