All Round Audio Typing

Audio typing is typing directly from audio - dictation, meetings and notes - into the document format you need. The work goes to typists who do this particular job every day, not to a general pool, and each file is checked against the source by a second reviewer before it is sent. This site is built around audio, video and document material in almost any format, including legacy media.

Dictated instructions such as "new paragraph" are applied rather than typed out. None of that is left to chance on the day: it is confirmed at quoting stage. Anything on physical media is digitised first, logged, and then worked from the digital copy.

In the format your workflow already uses, with real styles and structure instead of flat text, so the file drops into your records without reformatting. The format for audio typing is agreed at order stage, so the first delivery is the one you can file, send on or publish.

Upload the material, approve the written quote and deadline, and work begins - no deposit, no account to set up. Say what the material is stored on, because an older format changes what has to happen before anyone starts work. Say what the audio typing is for when you send it, because a filing, a publication and an internal record are formatted differently. Anything ambiguous is queried with you before work starts.

Your letter or report template is used so documents come back ready to use. Nothing there is an upgrade, and work that falls outside the agreed audio typing brief is priced separately and only once you have agreed to it. A digital master of the source can be returned alongside the finished file where the original is fragile.

Yes, in 100+ languages, each handled by a native speaker and not by someone working from a dictionary. What audio typing involves does not change with the language, and the same independent check happens before delivery. Older recordings often mix languages, and each one is kept as it was spoken instead of flattened into one.

Typing is quoted per page, with volume pricing once a project passes an agreed size. The quote for audio typing is worked out from the page count, how legible the source is and how much formatting the finished file needs. Audio typing is quoted per job rather than on a published unit rate, because the cost follows what you need done. The source format makes no difference to the rate; digitising legacy media appears as its own line in the quote. Send the material and the figure comes back within minutes.

The delivery date is agreed before work starts, and rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours covers anything urgent. Material sent at the end of your working day is in progress overnight. Audio typing is scheduled against the people who actually do this work, not against a general pool. Legacy media such as tape, MiniDV, DAT or optical disc adds a digitising step, and that is quoted and scheduled up front.

Work is done by human typists and compared with the original before it is sent, which is how the 99+% accuracy standard is met. What gets checked on audio typing is the detail a reader would otherwise have to verify themselves: names, figures, terms and anything the source left ambiguous. Degraded tape and low-bitrate audio go to people used to that loss, not to software that fills the gaps with guesses. One person working alone would not catch a transposed figure or a heading that quietly breaks the document structure.

Access is the control that matters, so it is kept to the assigned pair and nobody else. Audio typing often involves material people would not want circulated, so the file is closed to everyone except the pair working on it. Archive material is often the only copy in existence, so originals are logged, restricted and returned. Transfer is encrypted, every person involved is under NDA, and files are deleted on request once you no longer need them held.
