Transcription delivery time
GoTranscript Transcription 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 transcripts are delivered earlier than the stated TAT, especially for shorter or simpler files.
1. Turnaround Time Options
- 6–12 hours
- Fastest turnaround for urgent projects
- Ideal when you have a strict deadline

- Perfect for files that don’t require immediate attention
Tip: You may receive your transcripts sooner than these estimates, depending on file complexity and current workload.
2. Factors That May Affect Turnaround Time
- File Duration: Longer files naturally take more time to transcribe.
- Audio/Video Quality: Clearer audio often results in faster completion.
- Complexity & Number of Speakers: Multiple speakers or specialized terminology may require extra review steps.
- Additional Services: Timestamps, verbatim style, or multi-language needs can slightly extend delivery time.
