A wide range of transcription services are available through Type-thing Services; however, we excel in each discipline. We have found this to be true because accuracy along with competency in spelling and grammar form the basis for quality transcription. We help you present a professional image by providing proofed, accurate transcription with corrected grammar and spelling. If verbatim content is the goal, we will not alter grammar. Of course, discipline-specific terminology and formatting is required to make our work more efficient and useful for our customers. See the brief descriptions below or click on the buttons to the left. 

Phone-in, Audio/Video Tape, Digital Audio/Video Files 

Dictation can be performed in a number of formats. We have found phone-in dictation to be the most convenient and efficient for our customers. We'll work to transcribe the format you have, or suggest other beneficial methods! We can transcribe all tape sizes as well as most digital audio files provided to us on disk or over the Internet. We can convert most video tape formats (e.g., VHS, SVHS, 8mm, Digital, etc.) to audio tape in preparation for transcription. More information about formats is contained under each of the transcription types listed below and to the left.

Confidentiality of transcription materials is always considered at Type-thing Services. All paper products are shredded, access to computers and computer files is restricted through password.  Data transferred or stored on the Internet is appropriately encrypted as arranged with the customer.  With regard to protecting private information (verbal, written, electronic), we follow standards for "Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information" in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

Output

We consider the transcribed material to be your property. We will provide it to you as formatted printouts or as electronic files via email, a disk, CD ROM, DVD ROM, or other format to suit your needs.

Archives

We maintain archives of all your electronic file transcripts in case you need access to them in the future. If you prefer all records to be purged, we will be happy to do so.  Due to their large size, digital audio files are only maintained for a short period unless other arrangements have been made with Type-thing.
