Accurate transcription services for Halifax businesses
Unlike many other transcription agencies, we do not outsource overseas: Our professional transcriptionists reside in Canada and the U.S. In addition to transcription experience, our team members have professional backgrounds in language-focused fields, including business writing, editing, proofreading, and teaching.
We don’t use automatic transcription software, either: All our transcripts are manually and carefully typed. We follow a custom style guide to ensure that all elements within your transcripts are consistently formatted. We also research the correct spelling and capitalization of names, brands, and places. Therefore, our service is ideal for clients who publish their transcripts online and need to make a good impression.
Our default transcription style is clean verbatim – that is, we lightly edit transcripts to omit nonessential filler speech. Most clients prefer this style because of its lower cost and the readability of the transcripts. If your project requires that every utterance is transcribed, including stutters, um’s, and uh’s, we offer true verbatim transcription for an extra fee.
If you need PDF or JPEG files converted into editable text documents, visit our copy typing services page for more information.
Research transcription services for Halifax and Nova Scotia students
We’ve worked with many master’s and PhD students on qualitative research transcription projects in the social sciences and healthcare.
We offer our best rates to students from universities in Halifax and across Nova Scotia, including Dalhousie, Saint Mary’s, MSVU, Acadia University, St. Francis Xavier, and Cape Breton University.
Our transcription services are confidential and secure. Before receiving your audio, we’ll review and sign the research confidentiality agreement provided by your research coordinator. If you don’t have a confidentiality agreement available, we can provide one for you.
If you’re writing a grant application, we’d be happy to provide a quote.
