CARR'S ADMIN & TRANSCRIPTION SERVICE

Transcription and Prices

As we know, businesses are initially judged by their clients and customers on the legibility, neatness and clear understanding of what is provided to them, whether it be in the form of a letter, quotation, report etc.  Therefore, providing documentation that is carefully and accurately produced reflects your business in the way you want to portray it.

I provide an accurate transcription service for letters, reports, schedules etc., together with copy typing of text or handwritten notes, all of which can be produced in either MS Word or Excel.

"Transcription" - the art of transcribing dictated speech"

Please see the Admin Support tab for details on services designed to simplify your tasks and improve workflow efficiency

If you have your own preferred layout, template or transcription format, these can be adopted to ensure that you receive the service required.  Please contact me to discuss which layout best suits your individual business.

Different types of transcription

Transcription can be produced in MS Word or Excel, using any of these formats:

• Edited - removes all unnecessary filler words/sounds, resulting in cleaner and clearer text.  This is the most commonly requested format by most of my clients and may be used for general, professional transcription in letters, reports, etc.  For example: Bob doesn't want to visit David as he feels he lives too far away.

• Intelligent Verbatim - word for word but removing unnecessary filler words/sounds and making a cleaner and more understandable text without losing context which may be used for interviews etc.  For example: "But I don't wanna go and see David 'cos he lives too far away"

• Verbatim - word for word and including filler words/sounds captured on the audio track (i.e. umm, err, coughing, pauses, doors opening etc.) when everything needs to be recorded and sets the tone of the discussion.  This format may be used for legal interviews, statements etc.  For example: "Erm, but I don't wanna go and see...(crying)...David...(sniff)...'cos he lives too far away (door slams)."

More than one speaker?

I also offer transcription of two or more speakers, i.e. for research groups, interviews etc.   If required, these can be time-stamped for ease of finding specific points in conversation.

For example:  CW: I don't wanna go and see David 'cos he lives too far away. [00:03:14]
