Transcription Services Australia

Yes, on the same terms as anywhere else. Files move online in both directions, so nothing depends on post or opening hours in Australia, and the written quote is issued before any work starts. Most of it comes from courts and tribunals in every state, and from universities, media production and mining companies.

Typically courts and tribunals in every state, universities, media production and mining companies, and government agencies and health services. Each has different expectations for formatting and confidentiality, and those are agreed at quoting stage, which is what stops a first delivery coming back for rework.

Yes - spelling, date order, currency and legal terminology follow Australian usage instead of a US default, and that is set per order. It matters most in anything read by a court, a regulator or a client in Australia, where the wrong convention undermines the document before it is read.

Alongside English, the usual requests from Australia are Mandarin, Arabic, Vietnamese, Cantonese and Greek, and 100+ further languages are available. Every language is handled by a native speaker, with a second reviewer who reads the same language before anything is delivered.

General transcription starts at $1 per audio minute and legal transcription at $2. Rates are the same for clients in Australia as anywhere else, quoted in writing before work starts and never adjusted by market. Quotes are calculated from how long the recording runs, how clear the audio is and how many people are speaking, so two clients sending comparable material pay the same, and nothing begins until you approve the written total.

The date is fixed in the quote, and rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours is available where you need it. Work passes between teams in different time zones, so your files keep moving while your own office is closed. The time-zone gap works in your favour, because material sent at the end of the working day in Australia is worked on overnight.

The standard is 99+%, reached by doing the job twice: one person produces the file, a second checks it against the source. Each hand-off between time zones is a fresh pair of eyes on the file, not a gap in the chain. Conventions differ between markets, and a file written to the wrong one reads immediately as though an outsider produced it, which is what universities, media production and mining companies notice first.

Only the people doing the work can open your material, and all of them are under NDA. Access follows the file across time zones but never widens: only the assigned team can open it. Cross-border transfer is encrypted end to end, so nothing sits on a third-party server between Australia and the people working on it. Transfer is encrypted in both directions, and deletion on an agreed schedule can be set up where your records require it.

Word, PDF, Excel, Google Docs or plain text, or your own template applied so the file comes back ready to use. Headings, tables and numbering are built properly instead of pasted in. Spelling, date order and currency follow Australian usage instead of a US default, and that is set per order. Finished files are emailed the moment they clear review, whatever the hour is where you are.

Send the files or a link, say what you need and when, and an exact quote comes back within minutes. Once you approve it the work goes to a transcriber suited to the material. Upload whenever it suits you, because there is always a team on shift and nothing waits for morning. Say which market the finished file is for, because Australian conventions and US conventions are not interchangeable. Revisions are free for 30 days after delivery.
