Financial Transcription

What is Financial Transcription?

Finance is a global sector, so the use of accurate financial transcription services is essential to the industry’s smooth running. On the surface, financial transcription is simply transcribing spoken words within the finance sector and translating the resulting document into another language, so businesses can easily get accurate information. In practice, this is one of the most complex and difficult areas of translation, and it should only be carried out by experienced professionals.

Transcription differs from interpretation services, as the finished translation is offered in a document, as opposed to interpreted aurally in real time. The document can then be translated into a number of different languages, depending on a business’ needs.

Since it’s a global industry with a huge impact on the world economy, having expert transcription services in the financial sector is crucial. Using the wrong terminology, or not having a solid understanding of the industry, can result in drastic changes to businesses, and even on the economy as a whole. One misplaced comma or misheard figure changes the nature of an entire document, which is why we pride ourselves on the quality of our work.

Our trained financial transcribers understand how the industry works, and have the experience and knowledge required to ensure there are no mistakes in the end translation, whether we’re working with accountants and auditors, or global financiers and banks. We accept sound files in most formats, including CD/DVD, MP3, WAV, WMA, DSS, DS2, M4a, BigHand, and Winscribe, making it easier for you to send your files to us.

Financial transcription is crucial for a number of different finance professionals, including accountants and auditors, global financiers, and high street advisors. It is useful on many occasions, including after business meetings and surveys, client correspondence, calls/webcasts, analytical reviews, financial reports, and even seminars and training programs. For example, financial transcription services could be used following financial seminars, in order to compile all the vital points into one document, which can then be translated if required.

The Global Voices financial transcription team are experts in the field, with background knowledge in the financial industry, and are experienced in deciphering various accents to accurately transcribe audio files. This high attention to detail is pivotal when working with transcribing financial conferences, which may have multiple nationalities talking over each other. Ensuring that every word is accurately transcribed minimises any miscommunication, which can drastically impact businesses in the financial sector.

Global Voices’ expert financial transcribers can also quickly transcribe handwritten notes, reports, and correspondence, and can apply your business’ unique house style to the finished document, ready for you to use within your company. We also offer document conversion services, so if you have a PDF document you need reformatting and converted to another file, simply send the document to us, and we can transcribe and reformat it for you.
