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.

Different types of transcription

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

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

  • Intelligent Verbatim - word for word but removes unnecessary filler words/sounds, making cleaner text.      For example: "But I don't wanna go and see David 'cos he lives too far away."

  • Edited - removes all unnecessary filler words/sounds, resulting in cleaner and clearer text.  This may be used for general, professional transcription in letters, reports, etc.                                                                                                  For example: Bob doesn't want to go to see David as he feels he lives too far away.

More than one speaker?

I also offer transcription of two or more speakers, ie. 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]     

If you have your own preferred layout 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.
