Overview
GoTranscript packages human-led speech-to-text services and related media accessibility work into a single vendor aimed at organizations that need publish-ready transcripts, captions and translations. The core proposition is 100% human-made transcription across 140+ languages with a stated 99.4% accuracy, supplemented by professional captioning (including FCC/SDH broadcast-ready captions), subtitling and translation by specialist practitioners. For teams that need faster iterations, GoTranscript also surfaces an automated AI transcription option for instant drafts and quicker turnaround. Outputs and exports are designed for production workflows: the platform supports speaker IDs, timestamps down to word level, sentiment tags, and JSON exports to slot into downstream systems. There’s an emphasis on compliance and security — the service advertises HIPAA and NDA compliance — and on enterprise credibility, noting trust from top universities and Fortune 500 customers. Operationally the service offers both a web-driven ordering experience (instant estimate by minutes and add-ons) and a REST API intended to let teams “go live in days,” enabling tighter integration with existing content pipelines.
Typical use cases range from academic research transcripts and corporate meeting records to broadcast captioning, streaming workflows and translation/localization projects where human quality is required. Benefits for buyers include reduced cleanup work compared with raw automated output, professional formatting and speaker labelling, broadcast-compliant captions, and the option to receive machine drafts when speed is the priority. The product is positioned toward buyers who prioritize accuracy, regulatory compliance, and production-ready deliverables rather than purely commodity automated transcription.
Workflow advantages include clearly defined deliverables (publish-ready transcripts, captions and subtitles), export formats suited to integration (JSON and word-level timestamps), and professional add-ons such as proofreading, descriptive audio and full/clean verbatim options. Pricing is presented as a per-minute model with add-ons and volume discounts available; customers can get an instant estimate before ordering. Platform availability is oriented around web-based ordering and a REST API for integration into content and publishing toolchains.

We needed FCC/SDH captions for a streaming series. The captions arrived formatted for broadcast and saved us time in delivery. Wish turnaround was a bit faster for last‑minute edits, but overall solid.

Good mix of human work and an automated draft option when we needed speed. Transcripts were publish‑ready, though we had to request minor formatting tweaks for one large batch.
