Transcripts are verbatim, without ums and uhs. They are at least 98% accurate, depending on the quality of audio you present to us. It is always better to have clean and clear audio for the best results. We work diligently to provide the most accurate transcripts from poorer audio as well.
Summary/notes are about 1/2 to 2/3 in length of a transcript. We leave out all of the repetition and erroneous conversations and what you are left with is clear, concise answers to the questions that are asked. This is an economical alternative to transcripts and mainly used when your clients do not require transcripts, but would like an in-depth report. It is a very efficient tool in assisting in report writing.
We bill after the project is complete. The payment is due upon completion of the project, but we give you a 30 day grace period. Any discounted invoices must be paid within 30 days or the discount is void.
