accessibility services
We hire transcriptionists with at least two years experience both within their chosen sector and within transcription services, and where we provide foreign transcription services, we use native speakers. All of our typists are highly educated and possess very fast typing speeds, allowing them to work accurately and to tight deadlines.
All transcription work is proofread by the typist taking on the work, prior delivery to our clients. For an extra fee, we are happy to provide a second proofread by a second suitably qualified proofreader. We take pride in our ability to work to client requirements and are happy to accept client templates, guidelines, house styles and uncommon format specifications within our transcription services.
Our preferred method of audio or video file transfer is via our secure DropBox FTP account. We are however, happy to accommodate our client’s preferences concerning upload of files. We can work with other file transfer protocols including WeTransfer and YouSendIt, and also can work with direct website or social media links (such as for podcasts, social media or video sharing sites). For smaller audio files, we will accept email attachments (though this method is not recommended) and we can even work to traditional methods of transferring files via post or courier. We can work with virtually any audio or video format and also provide services to convert audio and video for our clients into more universally compatible formats.
Prices for transcription start from as low as £1.00 per audio or video minute, though rates vary depending on video quality, number of speakers, turnaround time and formatting requirements. Turnaround times can vary depending on the length of your audio or video, sound quality, number of speakers, area of specialism or template required (for example, Jefferson notation vs a standard intelligent verbatim transcript).
