The Website and the Services

Transcript HK offers and maintains the Website to provide transcription, video captioning, translation and other related document services.

User Content Transmitted Through the Service

Transcript HK acknowledges that because of its relationship with Client, it may have access to certain information and materials contained in Source Materials in relation to the Client’s business, products, services, clients and marketing strategies that are confidential and of substantial value to the Client (“Confidential Information”). Transcript HK undertakes not to use in any way for its own account nor for the account of any third party, nor disclose to any third party such Confidential Information revealed to it by Client unless and until required as a matter of law or by court order or other legal process to do so or such information passes into the public domain.

You acknowledge and agree that any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback or other information about the Service (“Submissions”), provided by you to Transcript HK are non-confidential and Transcript HK will be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of these Submissions for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you.

Transcript HK will not, without your prior consent, disclose to any third party your Confidential Information, other than furnishing such Confidential Information to our directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, contractors, representatives or affiliated entities (collectively, “Associated Persons”) who need to have access to such Confidential Information in connection with the Permitted Purpose.
As we value confidentiality very much, the transcribers at Transcript HK must sign a non-disclosure agreement so that our clients could be sure of the safety of their documents. Additionally, if there is a need, the transcriptionists sign additional NDAs when working with specific documents or content if this is required by the customers. If you need an additional NDA, simply contact us and let us know.

We take a lot of steps to ensure the best security of our customers’ files. For example, we keep the files only on our own servers, meaning that they cannot be acquired by outsiders. Your information is a bit like keeping it in a locked safe.

We encrypt the files while sending them over the Internet using 2048-bit encryption.
How secure is 2048 bit SSL encryption?
2048-bit encryption is a data/file encryption technique that uses a 2048-bit key to encrypt and decrypt data or files. It is one of the most secure encryption methods after 128- and 192-bit encryption, and is used in most modern encryption algorithms, protocols and technologies including AES and SSL.

Fees and Payment

By engaging Transcript HK, Client agrees to pay for any and all language services performed by Transcript HK (the “Work”) on Client’s behalf associated with audio material submitted by Client (“Source Material”).

Client is fully aware and agrees that it is responsible for an accurate and truthful description of the content of its Source Material.
Regardless of Client’s description of the Source Material and in the event its description is inaccurate, the appropriate classification below will apply for all purposes hereunder, including rates.
If Transcript HK determines that its classification of any Source Material is different than the Client’s, it will notify the Client before proceeding with the Work.

For transcription, Client agrees and understands that pricing is based on the number of speakers in an audio file or source. Client also agrees and understands that audio variables may increase the price. Client also agrees and understands that the level of turnaround time may or may not impact the cost.

For translation, Client agrees and understands that pricing is based on the number of words in the Source Material. Client also agrees and understands that variables may increase the price. Transcript HK will notify Client of any increased costs as it relates to price, time, or completion of a project.
Client acknowledges and understands that no transcript or translation is ever “perfect.” Judgment calls must be made on punctuation, spellings, grammar, etc. Furthermore, often the spoken word consists of run-on sentences and other grammatically incorrect language.

Accuracy Guarantee

Transcript HK guarantees a 99% accuracy rate or higher for properly recorded audio. Any Source Material should be clearly recorded in a controlled environment (preferably professionally) with one person either talking or interviewing one subject with minimal background noise interference and no media noise or defects. The format must be recorded digitally.
Client understands that poor duplication procedures can lead to degradation of the original Source Material and could result in a higher price, depending on the degree of degradation. While Transcript HK does its best to create the most accurate transcript possible regardless of the quality of audio, client should be aware that any audio that does not meet the previous criteria may impact the quality of the transcript and cause it to drop below the 99% accuracy rate. If for some reason, the client is not satisfied with his/her/its transcript and thinks it falls below the 99% accuracy rate and it was properly recorded audio, client has one full month to notify Transcript HK so that it can examine the discrepancy.
