Marathi transcription services

Clean read suits corporate video, interviews for publication and anything heading for translation: filler words and false starts come out, meaning stays. Verbatim is what legal proceedings, compliance material and research interviews need, because every utterance and pause is on the record. Either way, noun gender is checked against agreeing verbs and adjectives before delivery. Your project manager confirms the format against your end use.

Because it is not decorative. Marathi has three genders, and the gender of a noun sets the ending of the verb and adjective that agree with it in the same sentence. Get the noun's gender wrong and the surrounding words are wrong too, which reads as a grammar mistake rather than a stylistic choice, in a document you are paying to be accurate.

For people and animals it usually follows sex, but for most other nouns there is no reliable rule: a peer-reviewed study of Marathi morphology describes gender assignment for inanimate nouns as arbitrary, unconnected to sound or meaning. It has to be known rather than derived. That is why we assign a native transcriber familiar with the subject vocabulary, not just the audio.

Not reliably. A speech tool hears sounds, not the identity of a noun, so it has no way to know which of three genders an unfamiliar word carries and therefore how the verb or adjective attached to it should end. A native Marathi transcriber recognises the word and applies the agreement a fluent reader expects, and a second linguist checks it through the file.

There is no flat rate, because no two files take the same work. Runtime, recording quality, how many people are talking, your deadline and whether you also need an English version all move the figure. So does how much unfamiliar or technical vocabulary the audio carries, since that is what needs checking rather than guessing. Every quote carries our Price Match Promise.

Upload is encrypted, the file goes to one named Marathi transcriber who has signed an NDA, and nothing is put through public speech-to-text services at any point. If you have your own confidentiality agreement we sign it, if you have retention rules we work to them, and if your policy says the audio goes once the transcript is approved, we delete it.

It is normal work. Phone audio, site noise, focus groups and meetings where three people speak at once all get transcribed. What difficult audio changes is time, and occasionally certainty about a name or a term. We listen to a sample first and tell you straight what we expect to be able to capture, rather than handing you a file peppered with inaudible tags.

In whatever the next step needs: plain text, Word, PDF, SRT, VTT or your own template, with timecodes and speaker labels set the way you want them. Marathi script is delivered in Unicode so it displays correctly wherever it lands. Tell us what happens to the transcript after we send it and we format it for that, not for us.
