How We Ensure 99% Accuracy on Good Audio

Accuracy is the foundation of our 100% human transcription services, and it’s achieved through a multi-layered quality control process designed for professional transcription services.

  • Rigorous Hiring & Training

    Every transcriptionist at GMR Transcription goes through a strict hiring, testing, and training process before handling client work. This ensures our team meets high standards for accurate transcription, contextual understanding, and industry-specific transcription services, capabilities that automated transcription tools cannot match. Typists are bound by a confidentiality and a nondisclosure agreement to ensure that client information and data are kept confidential.

  • Expert Assignment by Audio Type

    Based on audio quality, subject matter, and industry requirements, your files are assigned to our most suitable U.S.-based transcriptionist with relevant experience. This targeted approach improves comprehension, terminology accuracy, and overall transcript quality for each project.

  • Built-In Human Quality Review

    Once the transcription is complete, the transcriptionist conducts a thorough self-review, checking for accuracy, clarity, formatting consistency, and adherence to your custom transcription guidelines.

  • Independent Proofreading

    Each transcript then goes through a separate, qualified, human proofreader, who performs a final quality check to ensure it meets our 99% accuracy guarantee for good-quality audio and aligns with professional transcription standards and formatting.

  • Accuracy Guarantee

    If a transcript produced from good audio does not meet our 99% accuracy standard, we will revise and correct it at no additional cost. This guarantee reflects our confidence in our human transcription process and quality controls. However, this does not apply to difficult audio files. We do not guarantee an accuracy level on difficult audio files.

What Our Clients Say

Janet Bang

Janet Bang

Postdoctoral Fellow, Stanford University
I am a researcher in Psychology and we used GMR to help us transcribe audio recordings of caregiver-child interactions in natural and everyday settings by Spanish- and English-speaking families. GMR was very attentive and responsive, providing us with accurate transcriptions of sometimes very messy situations. They were also very accommodating to our requests for special formatting and spelling requirements. They were extremely prompt and stayed true to their turnaround time. We spoke with a few other services and none were as willing to help us with the requirements that we needed. Having GMR complete the initial transcription greatly facilitated our ability to work with the data.

The customer service that Beth and GMR give you is something that cannot be matched. They're a people company. I've recommended GMR several times to some of our other companies and it's been nothing but successful.

GMR Transcription does a great job of transcribing my weekly podcast into text so I can put it on my website. My audience gets the benefit of reading the show if they are short on time and adding all the text helps my pages get found by Google :)

How Can Our Audio and Video to Text Transcription Services Help You?

  • Stay Organized with Searchable Transcripts

    Managing audio or video recordings can get messy fast. Our audio and video-to-text transcription services convert your recordings into clear, searchable digital documents you can access anytime, on any device. Whether you’re handling interviews, meetings, lectures, or research recordings, human transcription services make it easier to retrieve, review, and reference information when you need it most.

    This level of organization is especially valuable for academic transcription services, research transcription, and professional documentation, where accuracy and clarity matter.

  • Save Time with Accurate Human Transcription

    Searching for specific information in audio files often means replaying recordings again and again, still only to miss essential details. With professionally transcribed text files, you can instantly search for keywords, phrases, or topics, saving hours of effort.

    Our U.S.-based human transcriptionists deliver 99%+ accuracy on good-quality audio, ensuring you get reliable transcripts without the errors common in automated or AI transcription tools.

  • Make Your Online Content More Effective

    Search engines can’t analyze audio or video files directly. By using audio-to-text and video-to-text transcription services, your spoken content becomes readable and indexable by search engines like Google.

    This improves visibility, boosts SEO performance, and helps your content reach the right audience, making professional transcription services a wise investment for businesses, educators, media teams, and marketers.

  • Create Secure Backups and Reach a Wider Audience

    Transcripts serve as a dependable backup for your audio and video content, protecting your information if files are lost or corrupted. Our secure and confidential transcription services ensure sensitive content is handled responsibly.

    Text transcripts also make it easier to translate your content into other languages. Translators can work directly from accurate transcripts, reducing turnaround time and minimizing errors, helping you expand your reach globally.

  • Support Legal and Official Use

    A professionally prepared transcript provides an unbiased, third-party written record of an audio or video file. Our legal transcription services and certified transcription options support documentation needs where accuracy, neutrality, and accountability are essential.

  • Repurpose Your Content Effortlessly

    With a transcript in hand, your audio or video content becomes reusable. Turn recordings into articles, reports, quotes, blogs, or training materials, without re-listening or re-recording. Human transcription services make content repurposing faster and more reliable.

  • Get Started with Trusted Human Transcription Services

    Why wait? Upload your files today and let GMR Transcription Services, Inc. deliver accurate, secure, and 100% human transcription services, trusted since 2004 by organizations across legal, academic, business, and media sectors.
