BridgeLink provides transcription services in Hong Kong for meetings, seminars, conferences and court hearings, in Cantonese, Mandarin, English and other languages, with optional translation of the transcript.

We transcribe from audio and video recordings, format the output for official use, and accept most common recording formats. Where an exact transcript is required, we provide verbatim transcription, which captures speech precisely as delivered, including hesitations and filler words.

Transcription and translation may be combined in a single project. One team transcribes the recording of any languages and then delivers the transcript in the required language. In Hong Kong meetings, speakers often switch between Cantonese, English and Mandarin, sometimes within the same sentence. Speech-to-text tools frequently misinterpret these shifts, whereas our transcriptionists, who are fluent in the transcribed languages, follow each change and record every word accurately.

Our portfolio includes multi-year engagements with M+ Museum, covering video or audio transcription, translation and captioning for keynote lectures and talk series, as well as verbatim reporting for the Board of Review in single or mixed languages.
