What are academic translation services?
Academic translation services convert scholarly and research-related documents from one language into another while preserving their meaning, terminology, structure and academic tone. These services support researchers and institutions that need to communicate findings, methodologies and educational materials across language barriers.
Academic translation may be required for journal submissions, university research projects, dissertations, surveys, research proposals and international collaborations.
What Are Academic Transcription Services?
Academic transcription services convert recorded academic and research content, including interviews, focus groups, lectures, seminars, and discussions, into accurate written transcripts.
Researchers use transcripts to review participant responses, code qualitative data, perform thematic analysis, prepare research reports, and support academic publications.
myTranscriptionPlace provides human-reviewed academic transcription for researchers, universities and students in the UK, with options for speaker identification, timestamps, verbatim transcription and customised formatting.
