Not all audio is equal. Understanding what makes a file hard helps you record better and budget accurately.

Insurance Transcription
Recorded statements and investigation interviews become part of the claim file. They need to arrive in the form your system and your adjusters expect.

What experience changes
Insurance recordings rarely arrive in ideal conditions. A claimant may be calling from a hospital room, a vehicle, or a busy home. An adjuster may be working through a long chronology over a telephone connection. An SIU interview can involve emotion, interruptions, background noise, and details that will be checked against other evidence later. Our team has more than fifteen years of transcription experience with difficult audio, and we know that a useful claims transcript must make the statement readable without making it sound cleaner, calmer, or more certain than the recording supports.
We ask for the claim format, expected speakers, claim or policy references, and the deadline before we begin. Those details help us organise the finished document and keep speaker labels stable. They are also checked carefully because a transposed date, policy number, or street name can send a reader in the wrong direction. We work from your template where one is supplied, whether that means a recorded statement, an EUO format, an investigation interview, or an internal note. We do not evaluate coverage, decide credibility, or turn an unclear answer into a conclusion.
Our reviewers return to the audio for the details that are easy to lose in a first draft: the sequence of events, names, times, vehicle information, numbers, and changes in who is speaking. We preserve relevant pauses and interruptions when they affect the sense of the statement. Where the audio is genuinely unclear, we use a timestamped flag so the adjuster or investigator knows exactly where to review. The completed transcript fits the claim file, respects the source recording, and gives your team a reliable document to work from under real time pressure.
For repeat clients, we apply the agreed labels and file structure consistently, reducing the time an adjuster spends reorienting themselves before they can focus on the substance of the claim.

What makes this audio hard
Why this audio is difficult
Statements are taken over phone lines, from vehicles and from hospital rooms. Claimants are distressed, distracted, or speaking a second language, and the detail that decides the claim is often said once and quietly.
How we handle it
Our approach
Insurance audio is drafted, then human-reviewed against the recording with attention to dates, policy and claim numbers, and the sequence of events. Unclear passages are timestamped for your adjuster rather than smoothed over.
Transcripts are delivered in your claim-file format, and your audio is never used to train any model.
