I have a collection of long-form MOV videos, each running well beyond the 60-minute mark, that I need converted into clean, well-structured English text. These recordings are essentially “audio within video,” so the work is pure transcription—no editing or subtitling required at this stage. What I need from you • Accurate, word-for-word transcripts in English, delivered in .docx or .txt. • Paragraph breaks that follow the speaker’s natural pauses. • Timestamps every 5 minutes (or a frequency you recommend for files of this length). • A short style key at the top of each file explaining any conventions you’ve used. Why this matters The material will be repurposed for written articles and searchable knowledge bases, so precision in spelling, punctuation, and tone is crucial. Any omissions or guesswork can ripple downstream, so I value your attention to detail. Tech & tools If you work with Express Scribe, Descript, Otter, or similar software, please mention it. Manual review is mandatory; lightly-edited automated output is fine so long as you proof every line. Timeline First file is ready now. Let me know how many minutes of finished transcription you can comfortably return per day so we can establish a realistic schedule. When you respond 1. Share a brief note on your experience with long videos or dense audio. 2. Confirm you can handle MOV format without conversion hassles. 3. Provide a sample of past work (a short excerpt is enough) or complete a 2-minute test clip I’ll send on request. I’m looking forward to collaborating with someone who enjoys the steady rhythm of deep-dive transcription and can turn these lengthy recordings into polished text we can immediately put to work.
