Can I get a rough draft of my transcript while I wait for the final copy?

We know what deadlines are like, and we know how important it is to have your transcript back as soon as possible. In some cases, our Rough Draft option may be all you need, but other times you might still need a polished transcript but would like to begin working with a rough version of the text while you wait for the final copy.

When you add Instant First Draft at checkout, you can receive a rough first draft of your transcript while our transcriptionists work on the final, polished version. Instant first drafts are generated by our industry-leading speech recognition technology. 

The rough draft will be delivered moments after your order is placed, and your polished human transcript will be delivered afterward, as soon as it's ready.

You can receive an instant first draft for an additional $0.10 per audio minute. To order a draft, select the checkbox next to Instant First Draft after your file uploads at checkout.

Note: The instant first draft option must be selected at checkout, before the order is placed. If you would like a rough draft for an order that's already in progress, please place a new order for a Rough Draft only.
