VITAC – FINAL / AS BROADCAST TRANSCRIPTIONS
***Please note that below rates are only applicable to US Productions.
Take1 Transcriptions has been rebranded as VITAC.
Final or As Broadcast transcriptions are a required deliverable for all WBD Networks programs. Please note, WBD no longer requires video descriptions in our final transcriptions. This has helped us negotiate lower rates for our Producers.
VITAC Transcriptions offers WBD’s production company partners a discounted rate of $2.72/min, 64% lower than the average competitors’ rates! VITAC charges for actual run-time (typically 21 min for a 30-min program, 42 min for a 60-min program).
VITAC provides standard and specialized services. For any specialized requests like footnotes, expedited services or annotated scripts, please contact VITAC directly for the most up to date turnaround time and pricing:

When completing a new booking form, please select ‘Discovery Deliverable’ under the script options section.
For any repeat bookings, whether phoning or emailing, mention that you are delivering to Warner Bros Discovery, and VITAC will do the rest.
Please see attached documents for more details.
Please note: WBD will cap Final / As Broadcast Transcription costs at $2.72/min across all US networks. While you are not required to use WBD’s preferred vendors, WBD will only honor these preferred vendors’ rates when approving production budgets. Any transcription costs above WBD’s approved preferred vendor rates will be the responsibility of the production company.
VITAC is WBD’s preferred vendor for Final/As Broadcast Transcriptions only. For Field Transcriptions please visit the FIELD TRANSCRIPTIONS preferred vendor page on the producer’s portal.
