Where can I set my default preferences for transcription orders?
These options are found on your Account Settings page under Order Preferences > Transcription Settings. Click the purple Edit button to modify these.
Please note: Any changes you make here will apply to all orders going forward. If you want to apply one of these settings to only some orders, those options can be selected at checkout instead. In addition, changing these settings will not apply to orders already in progress.
You can adjust the following in your transcription settings:

Transcription Format
You can also choose whether to have transcripts delivered in a paragraph or table format. See these examples below.
Explicit Language Filter
By default, we will transcribe any and all explicit language, if audibly spoken. If you prefer to have the explicit language censored using dashes, or asterisks, or for them to be removed completely, you can set that here.
