As well as general legal correspondence and court documentation, I am experienced in transcribing all types of interviews (phone recordings, face to face meeting recordings or video interview recordings). I am also experienced in completing judgments for mediators/arbitrators/adjudicators.
I have a 24-hour turnaround of work and am able to convert any type of voice or video recording so that it is compatible with my system (Olympus Dictation System). My charge out rate is $60.00 per hour plus GST and I am able to offer members a one hour discount for the initial use of my services.
