With a clear recording and transcript provided, your captions can be ready in minutes in over 100 different formats. If you need a transcript you can choose from four business day turnaround (this is our economy option for education plans – compare this to other vendors, where four day turnaround is “standard”), two/three business day (this is our standard service, and is usually completed in two business days; compare this to the “expedited” service of other vendors) , one business day, or 8 hour turnaround times.
