I am interested in the project but I would like to know if I can do it via internet form Argentina.
I'm an English teacher and translator and I believe I could be of help.
Thanks for your time and attention,

A. F. on 24/09/2007 20:38Good evening,
I would be very interested in bidding for the contract, but would like to know if the interviews will be recorded and sent digitally, or will be recorded on cassette tape and posted. Also, what would be the expected turnaround time for the tapes.
Many thanks.

Recorded digitally and sent digitally if email will take them. Otherwise they will be sent on a CD/DVD in the post. Do you know if an email would take an hour long interview?
Turn around within a week.
Thanks
Simon
J. D. on 24/09/2007 22:55Dear Simon,
I once was about to receive a transcription job and the buyer was using a special software in order to send the interviews. I can\'t remember the name right now but if you check this search maybe you can find something. Have a look: http://www.google.com.ar/search?hl=es&q=transcription+programs&meta=
I understand you can download it for free and it may let you send the interviews digitally. In any case, if you decide to record them on a cd and post them it\'s ok with me.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Juliana

You can send the files via a file server called www.sendthisfile.com. It is free and very easy to register, this gives you access to upload and download files very simply. I have used this site before and found it very straight forward.
Hope this helps.

M. S. on 26/09/2007 14:05Dear Simon,
I run a professional transcription company. I myself have over 30 years experience in secretarial and transcription work and we produce flawless transcripts • transcripts which require no editing - for a wide range of clients. If you are interested in my bid, I can send you sample transcripts and also client testimonials. Please also feel free to request names and contact addresses for these testimonials.
We can provide a reliable and efficient turnaround exactly as you require it. All transcripts are individually proofread by the same proofreader to ensure quality and uniformity. We research all names and technical terms, and provide audio notations for words we are not sure about. We provide 24/7 customer support and a pool of mature, highly experienced and educated transcribers.
As an ex-Police typist and former Relate counsellor and trainer, I am particular zealous to protect confidentiality. We provide a highly secure, encrypted file transfer system which allows you to easily and securely upload your sound files directly to our website.
We are willing to undertake this project for you at your required budget providing the project is paid, or part-paid, in advance.
Kind Regards,
Patricia

You sound as though you provide an excellent and experienced service but I have bids already in that sound the same but can do it for less than my original stated budget. Also they have an initial payment rate for the first interview which is inviting as I can see what I will be getting for the money.
