How we work
How a project runs, step by step.
- 01Assessing the file
We listen before we promise: audio quality, speakers, overlapping dialogue. If something cannot be rendered reliably, you know before you commission.
- 02Binding quote
Within one working day, based on duration and your requirements: speakers, timestamps, deadline.
- 03Transcription
Faithful rendering of speech, with clear speaker attribution and explicit marking of passages that cannot be heard clearly. Never filled in by guesswork.
- 04Check
The text is checked against the recording before delivery, because a transcript that cannot withstand comparison cannot be used as evidence.
- 05Delivery and what follows
Word or PDF, in the format your use needs. If the material also needs translating, the same team continues without a second commission.

Capabilities
Why EL-Translations.
Accuracy that stands up to scrutiny
Faithful rendering of speech with clear speaker attribution: text that can serve as record, source or evidence.
Transcription + translation, one flow
When your material also needs translating, the same team continues, no second procurement, no loss of context.
Contents
Transcription for business and legal use
Board minutes, general meetings, depositions and professional meetings call for text that stands up to scrutiny: faithful rendering, clear speaker attribution, and a clean distinction between what was said and what cannot be heard clearly.
The same holds for journalistic interviews and qualitative research (focus groups, academic studies), where the credibility of the analysis depends on the credibility of the transcript.
What determines cost and time
Three things: the length of the recording, its quality, and what the deliverable must include. A clean file with two speakers goes much faster than a general meeting with ten overlapping voices. Timestamps and detailed speaker labelling add working time, and enter the quote only if you need them.
That is why we do not price blindly from minutes of audio: we assess your own file, and the quote you receive is binding. What was agreed is what applies.
The most sensitive material an organisation holds
A recording of minutes or a deposition contains the least protected things an organisation has: voices, names, decisions before they become announcements. Handling is correspondingly strict: an NDA before every engagement, access only for those working on the project, storage on EU infrastructure and automatic deletion within the periods set by our Privacy Policy.
Infrastructure & Reliability
Three ISO standards, audited by TÜV Hellas.
Enterprise-grade translation needs know-how, infrastructure and accountability. We have already built them, so you do not have to.
Next milestones: ISO 9001 (quality) & ISO 27001 (information security), certification in progress.
