Cantonese Around the World and in the U.S.
Cantonese is one of the major Chinese languages, spoken by over 80 million people globally. It is the primary language in Hong Kong and Macau and is widely spoken in southern China, particularly Guangdong Province. In the United States, Cantonese is commonly used in cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Boston, where large Chinese communities maintain the language in homes, businesses, and community centers. As a result, there is a growing demand for Cantonese audio and video transcription services in both public and private sectors.
Types of Cantonese Transcription Projects We Handle
AML-Global provides transcription services for a wide range of content types. Legal transcriptions include depositions, recorded testimonies, court proceedings, and law enforcement audio—all delivered with strict confidentiality and verbatim accuracy. In the medical field, we transcribe consultations, research interviews, and case studies, while ensuring HIPAA compliance. Business clients rely on us for transcriptions of conference calls, team meetings, interviews, and training sessions. We also work with academic institutions to transcribe lectures, focus groups, and oral histories. In the media and entertainment industry, we handle interviews, podcasts, documentaries, and subtitle-ready transcripts for film and video.
Verbatim and Clean Transcription Formats
We offer both verbatim and clean transcription options based on your project needs. Verbatim transcription includes every word, sound, and filler—for situations requiring detailed analysis or legal precision. Clean transcription removes non-essential elements such as pauses and repetitions, delivering a more polished and readable text ideal for business, academic, or general use. Our team will work with you to determine the best format and style for your specific goals.
Linguistic and Dialectal Complexity of Cantonese
Cantonese is a tonal language with six to nine tones, and it features unique slang, idiomatic expressions, and regional variants that differ from Mandarin. Additionally, Cantonese is typically spoken but rarely written in formal settings—when written, Traditional Chinese characters are often used. Our transcriptionists are native speakers trained to distinguish these tonal and contextual subtleties, ensuring that your audio content is transcribed with clarity and accuracy. We can also provide transcription in Cantonese or offer English translations of Cantonese recordings as needed.
Confidentiality and Certified Quality
AML-Global is ISO Certified (#9001 and #13485), and we maintain strict confidentiality and quality control processes throughout every step of the transcription project. We provide accurate timestamps upon request and deliver transcripts in your preferred file format. Every project goes through a multi-step review process that includes transcription, editing, proofreading, and formatting to ensure professional results.
