Confidentiality

All work is strictly confidential and we will have signed NDA’s from anybody on our team who works on the audio.

Quality Control and Accuracy

  1. After all audio files have been transcribed they are individually proofread by the transcriber and once audios have been sent to the transcription manager, our manager proceeds to proofread the document a second time in order to ensure all the client’s specifications and expectations.
  2. Thereafter all the transcripts are sent to the client for their approval.
  3. Our transcribers are all highly experienced.
  4. As we often work with court transcriptions and legal interviews, we have an extremely high accuracy rating for our transcripts as not one word can be missed when dealing with such matters.
  5. Our transcribers have all been tested extensively before becoming preferred providers.
  6. Our transcribers and project manager maintain regular contact to ensure the brief is delivered timeously and accurately.
