Professional Minutes/Pre-recorded verbatim digital transcription 

Verbatim digital transcriptions:

With pre-recorded verbatim digital recordings, Transcripts Plus uses our patented two step verification process. Transcripts are worked through twice, to ensure as 100% accurate transcripts as is humanly possible.  

Our guarantee:

Although our price is very competitive, we now have one fixed price.  We charge either:

(1) per audio minute; or

(2) per A4 page.

We do NOT:

1. appear to charge one price, but then include hidden fees, such as to upload files to our site; 
2. charge a minimum fee for a one-off job; 
3. charge extra for public holidays, weekends, expedited jobs;
4. charge differently for more than 1 speaker (our software enables us to efficiently deal with different speakers;)
5. send work overseas to third party companies.  All work is done in Australia, by professional Australians.  

Our highly competitive price is GST inclusive. 

How can we be so competitive?  Because we are the South Pacific's technologically savvy transcription company, we ensure efficiency assists us to offer client focused benefits - including, most importantly, fast but highly accurate transcripts.     

Transcripts Plus has been operating since 1994, and since that time courts, universities, corporations and private individuals have been assisted by us. We aim to make transcripts read the best they can be.

• We can also include, at no additional cost: timestamping (analogue and digital - that is, an indication of the exact time each person spoke matched with their text). eg. 00:00:22 MR GASGOIGNE: I am aware...  Our timestamps are for each speaker.

Minutes:

The reporting of the discussions and outcomes of meetings needs to be done in a very pragmatic way, with the person responsible for the record acting as an independent agent. Having an independent minute taker is thus vital to avoid later disputation about interpretation of events or decisions.  That's why organisations engage us.

• The technical expertise to concentrate for many hours, taking accurate notes of often complex meetings (which may involve dozens or even hundreds of attendees) and then providing, shortly thereafter, a condensed and uncluttered portrayal of the business of meetings is where Transcripts Plus shines.

• Some of our clients have utilised our minute taking services  every month for the last eighteen years .  It makes sense to them to use an independent person to document a meeting, and provide accurate minutes a day or two later.

• Key discussion points can be boxed (depending on the style of minutes you select) and motions clearly outlined.  High-speed (over 180 wpm) Pitman’s shorthand allows for instant read-back at any time if you choose Styles A and B, as outlined below.

• We cover all bases and can provide three styles of minutes.  But, remember, because of the universal applicability of our format, the style can be changed at any time.  For instance, you may wish a style suitable for the Internet.

  • STYLE A: introductory remarks to an item and action outcome.
  • STYLE B: Minutes of Narration – introductory remarks to an item, key discussion points (to assist with understanding how a decision was made) and action/outcome boxes.
  • STYLE C: Minutes of Resolution – purely the actions/outcomes, nothing else. This is usually done on a laptop computer.

In these days of corporate governance, using a skilled professional has become paramount.

Your Client Media DVD - Transcripts Plus can now provide you with a DVD containing the digital audio of your meeting (assuming it was recorded) and the minutes for historical and reference purposes.  The audio can be replayed on the left-hand side, and the minutes are contained on the right-hand side of the same user-friendly screen.  A compact miracle of high technology!

Realtime Minutes:

Our latest cutting-edge, unique service, allows us to compile the minutes AS a meeting is being held.  Using our stenomask device we create the minutes in realtime, voice summarising discussions as they happen, with speaker identification if required, into a mini soundbooth device (stenomask.) This is fed into a digital recording system.  The minutes are then transcribed using our speech recognition system into Word.  Thus, we do not need to listen to hours of recordings to compile minutes, as they are already created, and merely need editing.
