Expert We had to reorganize the whole catalog. By October 6, about 15% of SKUs were gone, and the license fees were renegotiated in the fall.

Services

What I take on

Expert-call and business transcription

Investor and consultant calls with industry experts, executive interviews, earnings-style discussions.

Research interviews and focus groups

Qualitative and market research audio with several speakers and overlapping talk.

Transcript proofreading and QA

A second pass on machine or human transcripts against the audio and your style guide.

Clean or full verbatim

Timestamps, speaker labels, tags for inaudible or crosstalk, all to your conventions.

Quality

What every transcript is checked for

I proofread more than twelve transcripts a day with the same structured check. The errors that matter in business audio are rarely typos; they're a misheard company name or a wrong number.

  • Proper nounsPeople, places and products, researched and verified
  • Company namesOfficial spelling, capitalization and tickers
  • Numbers and currenciesFigures, percentages, units and currency formats
  • Phonetic mishearingsFifteen versus fifty, and their sound-alikes
  • Hyphenation and spellingConsistent across the whole file
  • English variantNo stray UK spellings in a US file, or the reverse

Confidentiality

Your audio stays yours

Files are deleted once the transcript is delivered. I'm happy to sign your NDA and to work inside your own platform rather than receive files by email.
