Translation service is not restricted to text on paper; materials used with the modern media such as video or audiotapes are often required.  This is usually done in two stages. First, the oral or visual medium is transcribed into written text in the original language. The translation is then made from this transcript.  The customer will receive both the transcript and translation.

However, if only a general summary of the content of the tape is required, Insight Translating and Interpreting Services (or Insight for short) will be happy to provide a more cost effective answer.  This may involve listening to the tape, taking notes or transcribing relevant sections of the tape, then making a summary or translating just the required section or the entire tape.
