Editing service: Rarely does spoken English appear concise and clear, particularly in interviews. It can appear as rambling and repetitive and can easily become incomprehensible. We can edit the literal transcription into a easily understood text where the speaker's meaning is clear.

PLEASE NOTE - We speak much faster than we write or type. It is generally accepted that we can speak four times faster than we can type. It is a commonly held misconception that it takes one hour to transcribe one hour of recorded tape. This is incorrect. The industry standard allows ONE hour to transcribe 30 minutes of clearly recorded speech.

This can change due to the following factors:
- The quality of the recording
- The clarity of the voices on the tape
- The number of people speaking
- The speed at which they are talking
- Whether they speak in coherent sentences
- The degree of regional accents
- The amount of technical terms involved
- The position and number of microphones used

How It Works

1. Mail us a copy of your standard audio tapes, micro or mini cassettes or MP3 and WAV digital files. Once we recieve it, we log it in our system so you can track the progress of transcription.
   
   
2. If the audio files are already with you on your PC, you can easily upload them to our server. Using the secure ID and Password that we have provided to you when you register, you can upload the audio files to our website.
   
3. Once uploaded your assistant will be notified to start transcribing your project.
   If you have a FTP location, provide us with a username and password to access your audio files. Once we have downloaded the files we will log the project in our system so you can track the process of transcription.
