We have extensive experience in providing transcription services to academia, particularly social science, public and third sector organisations, medical research – both pharma/drug research and PROs, and market research agencies.
We also regularly work in highly sensitive research areas such as child abuse, domestic violence and substance abuse. Our transcribers are all DBS checked.
Our website has a secure, encrypted uploading facility, where you can upload your files. In line with GDPR, material is kept for the minimum amount of time on our systems as is necessary, your recording is deleted from the website as soon as a transcript is produced, and from our hard drives within 7 days. Transcripts are kept for 90 days on one encrypted hard drive only and then permanently deleted using a File Shredder program.
