What raises the range, in the department's experience. Specialists guide every step at no cost to you.
-
Estimate the hours and name the languages and accents involved.
-
Consent posture matters: recorded-line notices or participant consent raise the range.
-
Keep originals; transcoded copies lose value.
Questions sellers ask
Do we need transcripts?
No. Transcripts raise the range but untranscribed audio licenses; transcription can happen in preparation.
Our calls contain customer details.
Preparation handles redaction to a documented standard before any buyer listens.
Is music sellable?
Our focus is speech and real-world audio. Ask us about music catalogs case by case.
