I can correct in Word or I can mark up print-outs by hand, whichever you prefer. Rate: Technical article with second language English, eight pounds fifty per 1000 words.

I know how important it is to capture pauses, 'um's and interruptions etc. in the transcript as well as the content itself. Rate: 50p per minute of audio. One hour of audio will take about 2 days to transcribe. Research Online research to answer a specific question or on a certain area of interest and provision of a final report in Word with citations. I also undertake research into companies, providing a spreadsheet summarising contact details or other requested information for as many companies as I can find in the time allotted.
