Professional Studio Recording It takes us five minutes to walk to our friendly neighborhood recording studio. It is equipped with soundproof recording booths for everything from short publicity takes to release-quality CD material with musical accompaniment. We can always provide a male and female voice--and many other voices too. Austin is the Live Music Capital of the World. Here, we network with microphone-savvy Brazilian musicians and singers from all regions.
Networking Online samples in English and Portuguese give an idea of our capabilities. For quick response, cost savings and technical competence in transferring and handling sound files--much larger than text--we are hard to beat. For talent beyond what we have to offer, we will refer you to other members of our trusted network of professional linguists.
Audio Transcription A federal court interpreter with standard cassette transcription equipment is good. We also go one better by adding dictation software for audio file transcription with foot pedal controls. The sound editing software we use for recording handles enhancement (time stretch, volume and clipping adjustment and filters) to extract meaning from imperfect recordings on CD or computer files.
Audiobook recording A chapter from "Prohibition and the Crash," by J Henry Phillips
