Legal-Secretary has various avenues of receiving data via e-mail, or post if necessary, for transcription but we would be able to facilitate most systems, within reason, required to carry out the transcription process.

A 10 hour service is available on request (subject to availability), please call for further information. Please also note there is a minimum charge of £27.00 for short audio files.  Invoices will be sent with completed work and payment is required within 14 days, and in some cases a deposit would be required.

All work is transcribed in intelligent verbatim (with or without slang) unless otherwise agreed.  Different types of transcription can of course be accommodated, although there could be additional charges applied if necessary.  Proofreading is available of the transcription with an added charge of £1.50 per audio minute.

Types of Transcription include :

• Intelligent verbatim transcription
  The transcript reads easily and clearly with all relevant information but false starts/repeated words may be omitted.
• Verbatim transcription
  As above but including errs, umms, repetitions, laughter, words typed as said e.g. “cos” gonna” wanna” – please add £1.10 per audio minute.
• Discourse analysis
  Verbatim transcriptions showing all repetitions, stuttering, pauses, coughs, laughter, tone of voice.  Pauses will be shown as short (,), medium (..), long pause (…), (cough)(laughter) etc. please add £1.10 per audio minute.

Confidentiality is of primary importance and essential to all work within our Company and we are very aware of how important this is with transcription work with regard to Interviews, or Disciplinary Proceedings.
