What do I do and how do I work?

Well, however you want me to, but I've detailed below some of the tasks you may require completing under specific categories. I hope you find these helpful.

Transcription from Standard, Mini and Micro Cassettes as well as digital files as required.

Please note: As a rough guide you should allow at least 5 hours of transcription time for every 1 hour of your recording time and standard cassettes usually provide a better quality of recording. Transcription times vary depending on :-

•  The clarity of the person speaking
•  The clarity of the tape

•  The speed at which people speak
•  The complexity of the content - ie highly technical.
