Captioning turnaround time
GoTranscript Captioning Services offer multiple turnaround time (TAT) options—from just a few hours to several days—so you can select what best fits your needs. Although these times provide a general guideline, many caption orders are delivered earlier than the stated TAT, especially for shorter or simpler projects.
1. Turnaround Time Options
- 6–12 Hours
- Fastest turnaround for urgent projects
- Ideal when you have a strict deadline

Tip: You may receive your captions sooner than these estimates, depending on project complexity and current workload.
2. Factors That May Affect Turnaround Time
- File Duration: Longer videos naturally take more time to caption.
- Audio/Video Quality: Clearer audio often means faster completion.
- Complexity & Number of Speakers: Multiple speakers or specialized terminology may require extra review.
- Additional Services: Timestamps, verbatim style, or multi-language captions can slightly extend delivery time.
