Whether it's for marketing material, company reports, website content, training manuals or other business documentation, it is important that information circulated by your business to both employees and to clients reads well and is accurate, and, sometimes, it takes a fresh pair of eyes to spot any mistakes that may have slipped through the net.

Please note: Poor quality recordings and other factors can cause the transcription process to take significantly longer (for example, background noise, poor telephone connection, particularly strong accents), in which case an additional rate, ranging from 0.20 to 0.40 per recorded minute, may be added. We will of course always advise our clients if we anticipate a higher rate being required before starting a transcript.

We can also create typing and transcript templates specific to client requirements or use a client's in-house style, as well as produce transcripts suitable for NVivo analysis software. Below are some examples of our transcript templates, but please do contact us to discuss your project requirements.
