Fast, accurate transcription at surprisingly low cost I had five videos on our firm's website, and wanted to get transcriptions for them so that the search engines would index their content. I found Speechpad, uploaded the videos and the next day I had all five transcripts in my account. All that for less than $24 (even with the extra charge for faster processing). Accuracy was surprisingly good; I only needed to add a comma here and there to make it read better.

The Best Transcription Value for Price Having looked through several competing transcription services, Speechpad came in at the lowest price and of course, one often hears that and thinks 'but don't you get what you pay for?' Happily, the folks on the phone and over email at Speechpad were gracious and attentive, and their work came in punctually and consistently. It wasn't perfect, few things are - some transcriptions had typos and misunderstandings (different formatting of transcriptions from time to time) but when those are the worst things you can say about a service, you're in a good place. If you have an infinite amount of money, then you can probably find a service which does better work for far more pay. But I would recommend Speechpad to any projects on tight budgets seeking transcription services - theirs is the best value for the price, and I expect to return to them in the future.

Usually great transcripts I used speechpad for about 8 interviews and for the most part they did a great job however the format was always different and it was very frustrating. Each transcript I got back had a different style and included different details in it so there was no consistency.

Unbelievably good service - fast and flexible We conducted 10+ hours of interviews with business stakeholders and asked SpeechPad to transcribe them. We got the majority back within 48 hours and the quality was superb. The sheer level of customer service also came as a surprise with consistent one-to-one contact throughout and a willingness to be flexible. They even refunded me when an audio file was uploaded twice by mistake. Good honest service.

Good job Speechpad! Quick efficient and nearly always accurate. If the transcriber is unfamiliar with certain accents this could prove problematic.
