Purchase transcription services in English or Swedish through a national framework agreement, and not the University’s own framework agreement. How to order depends on which language is being transcribed and if you are also ordering another service simultaneously. This page presents how to go forward.
Information to add to your order
When ordering transcription, please provide the following information to the supplier:
- number of speakers;
- type of transcription (for instance, verbatim, non-verbatim, edited, intelligent or phonetic transcription);
- length of the material in minutes; and
- any other relevant information.
Swedish transcription together with proofreading
If you need Swedish transcription at the same time as you order proofreading of Swedish text, you can purchase both services according to ranking from the national framework agreement "Language services – Swedish". This could be transcription of handwritten and/or scanned documents being transcribed and proof-read. The price depends on the format such as for instance handwritten, scanned or video/audio. Prices are available in the suppliers' list of prices.

Swedish transcription as a separate service
If you order a transcription in Swedish separately, without simultaneously ordering proofreading of Swedish text, this counts as an add-on service that must be purchased through reopening competition from the national framework agreement "Language services – Swedish". Fill out the form Order a procurement, and a procurement officer will contact you to go forward. The form is available in English by changing language at the top right.
English transcription as a separate service
English transcription as a separate service is an add-on service that must be purchased through reopening competition from the national framework agreement "Translation English". Fill out the form Order a procurement, and a procurement officer will contact you to go forward. The form is available in English by changing language at the top right.
Transcription of other languages than Swedish or English
Umeå University has no framework agreement for the purchase of language services to and from other languages than the combination Swedish and English, and a national framework agreement has been postponed. Read more on avropa.se (the National Procurement Services) before purchasing such services.
If no framework agreement is in place, you may conduct a direct award of contract.
