Why should I use a glossary?
Glossaries are a great way to boost the quality of your files for both our automatic and human reviewed services. Use glossaries to ensure words that are not found in the dictionary (e.g proper nouns, acronyms or industry/company-specific terminology) are transcribed accurately, saving you valuable review time!

Why should I use a style guide?
Style Guides are a great way to boost the quality of your automatic and human reviewed files. Use a Style Guide to define timing presets for automatic and human reviewed files, such as characters per second/line and segment gaps. Add custom requirements around grammar, speakers and notation tags, so that we can tailor our human service to your bespoke needs.
