About transcription
Professional transcription for legal, medical, business, and media
Accurate, confidential transcription in Malaysia and Singapore. Expert-reviewed for quality.
Transcription services at Translife convert speech to text for legal proceedings, medical consultations, business meetings, academic research, and media. We work in English and Bahasa Malaysia with human-reviewed drafts for high accuracy. Speaker identification and timestamps are included at no extra cost. We offer flexible turnaround from standard (21 days) to express (48h, 24h, 12h) and treat all recordings as confidential—NDA and password-protected delivery available.
Our legal transcription supports court hearings, depositions, and law firm dictations; medical transcription for consultations and clinical notes; and business and academic transcription for meetings and research. We serve Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and the region. Need translation after transcription? We translate into 100+ languages. Request a quote with your audio length and deadline.
Verbatim vs intelligent verbatim
Transcription styles: verbatim, intelligent verbatim, and summary
Choose the right style for legal, medical, business, or academic use.
Verbatim transcription captures every word, including fillers (um, uh), false starts, and repetitions, exactly as spoken. It is typically required for legal transcription (court hearings, depositions, police interviews) where the exact wording may be material to the case. We produce verbatim transcripts with speaker identification and timestamps so that counsel can cite to specific moments in the recording.
Intelligent verbatim (also called clean read or non-verbatim) removes fillers, false starts, and obvious repetitions to produce a readable transcript that still reflects what was said. This style is common for business transcription (meetings, interviews, webinars), medical transcription (consultation notes, dictation), and academic transcription (research interviews, focus groups) where the focus is on content rather than every hesitation. We can also produce summaries or minutes from the same recording if you need both a full transcript and a shorter summary for distribution.
When you request a quote, tell us the type of recording (legal, medical, business, academic, media), the required style (verbatim or intelligent verbatim), the language(s), and the turnaround. We will recommend the right option and quote accordingly. All our transcription services include speaker ID and timestamps at no extra cost.
Formats and delivery
File formats, delivery, and confidentiality
How we receive your audio and how we deliver your transcript.
We accept common audio and video formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, and other standard files. You can upload via our quote form or contact us for large files or sensitive recordings (we can use secure links or encrypted transfer). For long recordings (e.g. multi-day hearings or many hours of interviews), we can split the work across our team and still deliver a single, consistent transcript with one set of speaker labels and timestamps.
We deliver transcripts in Word (.docx), PDF, or other formats you specify. For court or legal use, we can match the required layout (e.g. line numbers, specific heading styles). All projects are treated as confidential; we sign NDAs when required and can deliver via password-protected links or secure portals. Our transcribers and reviewers are bound by confidentiality agreements so that sensitive legal, medical, or business content is never disclosed.
Transcription pricing is typically per minute of audio. Our rates vary by turnaround (standard 21 days, 14 days, 7 days, or express 48h, 24h, 12h) and by type (e.g. legal verbatim may be priced differently from business intelligent verbatim). We quote based on your file length, language, and deadline so you get an accurate price before we start. From RM3.50 per minute for standard turnaround; request a quote with your details.
