Stenography and Transcription Services to Public Sector Bodies, across 2 Lots. Stenography, in short, is the act of recording spoken words through shorthand using a stenotype machine. Whatever stenography system is used, the ultimate goal is to record the spoken word verbatim. Stenographer(s) are often required to attend the duration of an interview, various proceedings, hearings or meetings, and take a verbatim note on a computerised short hand machine and an audio recording.

A transcription of the hearing, court proceeding is produced in hard or soft copy for the Framework Client.

Real time Transcription Services

Same Day Transcription Services

Overnight and deferred transcription services

Real time transcription sometimes called ‘rapid data entry’ is the general term for typing a transcript of a live speech immediately after the words are spoken (as opposed to listening to an audio recording). This is best suited when the record requires immediate review and action.

A live verbatim transcript is produced by soft copy for the client seconds after the proceeding has finished.
