Usually during this time of year, my area starts to cool down and the desert isn’t such a formidable place.  My favorite time of year, Autumn is right around the corner, and to keep in with that, the office is buzzing with festivities.

This year, as always, we will be busy with some of the Fall festivities (including Halloween fun) during the month of October and we hopefully will be spending some needed time away from the computers and outside enjoying the cool weather we are getting.

We hope you all are going to enjoy some time outside as well while things are cool and festive.  This is the month in which the holiday season starts to kick into high gear and family and friends are truly important.

Keep yourself healthy and warm and know that your benefits out weight anything else. Flu season is around the corner and we are already seeing the first signs of it in our home.  For those of us who work in close quarters and offices, drink lots of OJ, take lots of Vitamin C and Zinc and most important keep your co-workers in mind when attempting to work while you are sick.  We would prefer you stay home!

Until next time!

Verbatim transcription is not always needed or wanted, but it is sometimes very important to the ‘feel’ of the interview or the project at hand.

Verbatim transcription includes the, ‘ah’s', ‘ooh’s', false starts  and even annoying elements like, ‘you know’ or ‘like’.  These elements appear in natural speech for many hundreds of people, but to keeping it in written material is not always necessary.

A false start can also be included in these.  For instance, an individual starts the sentence with one subject, “With the price of food today…” and then change their mind half way through that thought process and restart the idea with, “Essentially cost of food will effect your recipe ingredients.”

As a rule, we don’t normally include those false starts, but can incorporate them pretty easily and will if you request it.  Be prepared to pay just a little extra on verbatim transcription though, as it does take more time to transcribe and definitely more time to proof read. Make sure you let us know if you need that element in your transcription, we would be glad to incorporate that in your pricing and in your final product.

Our writer and leader has been away for several days now giving our update area a vast gap in what you normally see as excellent writing and information.

She has asked us to update this and give thanks to those that have sent their well wishes and support in her trying times and hopes that she will return soon.

Meanwhile, please feel free to contact us for your transcription, typesetting and other needs as we are still pumping out quality and professional transcription services.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Yes, it’s another one.  We have just added Ning to our repertoire and would like to invite any of you who are already linked to us in Facebook, Twitter and MySpace to join us at Ning.

The advantage to Ning is the discussion forum where we are welcoming many who are looking at services we provide, or those who provide them to join us and ask the questions or give the tips.  They always said two heads were better than one… but a whole network of them has to be golden!

We are still working on the inaugural issue of “Digital Daze” our new E-zine that provides advice, information, and education for small business owners, home business employees and workers as well as entrepreneurs.

We hope to release this by August 15, 2009, so make sure you use the subscription at the top left of the page and subscribe so you don’t miss a thing.

This magazine will only be available via email and will not be posted to the website so make sure that  you subscribe so the vital information and tips that you can’t get anywhere else are gotten first hand!
