Transcription Services - Reality TV

Reality TV/Documentary Transcript is a verbatim record of all spoken dialogue created from raw footage and unedited field tapes. Reality TV/Documentary Transcript is often used by production companies to aid in editing their field tapes into final Reality TV or Documentary projects. This type of transcription only applies to documentary and television projects where the raw footage is completely unstructured but you want the audio that can be heard transcribed.

  • Scene information in a script format

    • Reality TV Interview Includes:
