One of our customers Melinda K. from Brisbane, Australia got in touch with us sometime back. She had recently conducted a focus group seminar. So a few days after the seminar she received an email from her research manager asking her to get the seminar transcribed as the transcribed text was to become an important part of a presentation due soon. She was asked to get the job done by a 24x7 quick typing company. So right after receiving the email Melinda started search for reliable transcription companies on the internet. As there were quite a few it took her a considerable amount of time before selecting one. 

Our online transcription company Etranscriber.net partnered with Melinda and we happily took her files and transcribed it for her. She was very glad that we were able to meet the deadline. She did panic a lot because it was her first time dealing with an online typing service.So we highly suggest to people if your business or work involved handling lots of interviews, podcasts, seminars, conference or telephonic calls, research interviews then  there is no harm in selecting a reliable and accurate transcription company beforehand.

How To Select An Online Typing Service Company?

Step 1: The best and the easiest way is to search for a company on the internet. Most of the businesses have an online presence. And there is no dearth of choices. 

Step 2: Decide between a regional service or an international service. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. For example, an online Australian transcription company might be a better choice for an interview recording in which regional Australian accent dominates the conversation. Respectively for British accent, Scottish accent digital materials could be worked on more accurately by a UK transcriptionist. However this may not always be the case since international companies do have a healthy mix of region based transcribers who are able to handle variety of accents such as British, Scottish, Latin, African, Indian and American accents.  

Step 3: After selecting on prospects, get in touch with them and you may complete the necessary legal document processes.

There are no retainer fees and the process of selecting a company is free. So it's best to save yourselves the hassles of going selecting a service in the last minute.
