How We Turn Chinese Recordings into Clear, Accurate Transcripts

Recently updated on November 22nd, 2025 at 06:15 pm

Do you want to transcribe Chinese recordings in different Chinese dialects? Finding a trustworthy Chinese transcription service provider that can manage the challenges of transcribing the entire range of Chinese dialects may not be simple.

And once you add multiple speakers, technical terms, or accents that drift from region to region, transcribing Chinese speech to text becomes a real challenge.

Why Choose Chinese Copywriter as Your Chinese Transcription Services Provider?

# Native Chinese Transcribers

When it comes to Chinese, you truly need a native speaker. Every region has a unique sound and set of customs, and in our experience, non-native transcribers often overlook these little details.

💡 In our agency, we notice this all the time. Our team is made up of native Chinese transcribers who also understand different subjects, so they’re not just typing what they hear, they actually know what it means.

# Proficient with Various Chinese Dialects

Our transcription team is made up of seasoned transcribers from all over China. That’s why we can handle recordings in a wide range of Chinese dialects and accents accurately.

Here’re some of the Chinese dialects we work with:

• Mandarin (Putonghua)
• Cantonese (Yue)
• Shanghainese (Wu)
• Hokkien (Min Nan)
• Hakka
• Hunanese (Xiang)

💡💡💡 No Dialect Left Behind – We Transcribe Them All

# Rigorous Quality Check

Once the transcription is done, we don’t just stop there. Your transcript gets a careful second review by a seasoned language specialist and a subject expert in your field, making sure it’s accurate and top quality.

# Competitive Prices

💡 Our prices are simple and easy to understand, and there are no hidden fees.

# Quick Turnarounds

Chinese Copywriter’s Chinese-English Transcription Style Guide

• For true verbatim transcription, include words like uhs, ums, filler words, repeated words, stutters, false starts, etc.
• For intelligent verbatim transcription, exclude words like uhs, ums, filler words, repeated words, stutters, false starts, etc.
• Use speaker identifications if there are more than two speakers. Use the speakers’ names if they’re provided, otherwise use the following tokens to identify speakers: “Interviewer”, “Interviewee”, “Man 1”, “Man 2”, “Woman 1”, “Woman 2”, “Facilitator”, “Moderator”, “Male Speaker”, “Female Speaker”, etc.
• Use [inaudible hh:mm:ss] to indicate words or phrases that are too hard to hear.
• For words and phrases that you’re not sure about but you’re making a reasonable guess, [put them in square brackets].
• Use [place] and [name] to indicate places and names that might not be spelled correctly.
• Use double quotes ” when quoting. Example: She said, “Well, I like that.”
• Numbers one through ten should be spelled out. Numbers higher than ten should be typed as numerals, i.e., 11, 12, 13, etc.
• Use spelling and grammar check tools like Grammarly.
