Transcription Services

Do you have a videotaped session and need a transcript?

Would you like the ability to phone in dictation while away from your office?

Is your secretary so busy helping you in the office that she really doesn't have time for transcription?

So many questions. Where do you go for answers?

If you can talk faster than you can type, then having someone transcribe your documents from digital audio files would be the ideal solution for you. Small business owners who can’t invest in another employee, plus equipment for that employee, should consider hiring a Virtual Assistant (VA) experienced in transcription. You simply dictate your documents to a handheld digital audio recorder or digital dictation software installed on your computer, and send the digital files via secure Internet transfer to your VA. The VA then transcribes the files and sends the typed documents back to you. Your VA is only compensated for the time he or she actually works, and you are not required to setup an office for a new employee.

Virtual Assistants (VA's) providing transcription services can help you manage your deadlines and stay within your budget. Many subscribe to Industry Production Standards, much like mechanics and plumbers use, that calculate the amount of time required to provide a finished project.

For instance, one full hour of excellent sound, one voice, non-technical work takes four hours to finalize. At rates of $25 per hour to $60 per hour, you'll find it will cost anywhere from $100 to $240 to transcribe an hour of excellent sound. Your VA will help you categorize your sound and establish your costs.
