Word Processing
Let us help you with your word-processing tasks, typing, formatting, and editing for accuracy.

We work from any hand-written or typed material, which may be faxed, emailed, snail-mailed or sent
by courier. 
(Click here for Contact Information).


Hand-written material if hard-to-read may require a phone call to confirm the text. Normally this is not a problem and will not cost extra, as long as the majority of the document is legible.  It is always a good idea to proof the written text, however, before sending as that can save both time and money.

New Clients: Before sending your transcription, please first email us or call  816-377-1763 so we'll know to expect your incoming work.
 
If you would like a Price Quote on a Word Processing or Transcription task, please call or contact us using the FORM Below.




Transcription Bids:  There are many variables when it comes to transcribing audio dictation, i.e. age and quality of recording, # of speakers, background noise, heavy accents, etc.  We work hard to ensure your transcribed material is accurate, even if it means listening to the recording several times through to understand indistinct or vague areas. 

Obviously, the more time we must spend due to the above mentioned factors, the higher the cost.  To save you

money and get your transcriptions returned as quickly as possible, we have put together some Dictation Do's & Don'ts to help ensure a clearer recording.  

Transcription Pricing One-speaker audio that is clear and understandable starts at 13⊄ per line, based on an 80 character line.

Such factors as poor quality, heavy accents, speech impediments, or background noise could increase the cost per line. 
Multiple-speaker audio that is clear and understandable is 15⊄/line based on an 80 character line. Very difficult audio may be billed extra at RUSH Prices.

What do we mean by "verbatim" transcription? 
There are 4 types of transcription when it comes to transcribing meetings, focus groups, conferences/seminars, etc.
Strict or Straight Verbatim:  Used in depositions and research. We type every utterance that comes from the dictator's mouth, including all the um's and ah's, stutters, coarse language & swear words, slang expressions like "you know." 
Smooth Verbatim:  Used when only important content is desired, i.e. business meetings and conferences.  We will take out the slang and the swearing, the emotion & the verbal tics.
Edit for Content:  Used to summarize a meeting. Personal comments, individual interruptions, etc., left out.
First/Rough Draft:  Exactly as it sounds, a first draft. One-time-through the transcription.  No editing on our part (except for our typos), because client expects to edit the content themselves.  Used often when dictating book & e-book manuscripts.
 
Payment of Services:  If an account has been set up for you, your transcription jobs will be billed to your credit card two to four times a month.  If you have not set up an account, payment is expected at the time of invoicing, which will be within 24 hours of delivery.  We accept most types of payment.  You can pay by check if you like (see below for mailing address).

Credit or debit cards are paid through PayPal.  A deposit is required before the job is initiated.  We will email an invoice letting you know the bid price, the amount of the deposit, and the balance due upon completion. 

If the task is extensive or may extend over a period of time, such as with a book manuscript or a seminar, the completed transcription may be returned to you in installments, with payment expected after each.  We find that this is not only convenient for us, but also for you, as it will smooth your progress in reading through the transcribed material and checking for errors.
