The Transcription Company

about the transcription company UK

The Transcription Company UK is an award winning company and was set up by Mel Cowley in 1999 to provide an online transcription service for organisations and individuals both in the UK and overseas, and has gone from strength to strength to become one of the leading specialist audio transcription companies in the UK. We were proud to received 2 prestigious business awards in 2002 for 'Innovation & Technology in Business' and 'Software In Business' . Regular customers include universities, conference and teleconference companies, large and small businesses, market research organisations, inventory companies, letting and estate agents, authors, students and individual entrepreneurs. 

Each project is undertaken in the strictest confidence - Confidentiality Agreements on request.  Our team of professional transcriptionists have worked as a team for a number of years enabling us to provide a very friendly, personalised, confidential and flexible service tailored to your individual requirements.  Our team has considerable experience and expertise in a number of different markets and has transcribed for wide range of organisations such as scientific institutions (e.g. the Royal Society and The BA) as well as continuous work for a number  UK university departments undertaking a varied range of research projects.

 Here's what our customers have to say about us:

"It's been a tricky project what with participants accents and all the technical stuff - not to mention some extra-long interviews and tight deadlines - but you've been consistently fabulous! Thanks to you all!
Researcher, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

"Thank you so much for all your work on this project. From such a lot of data I would have expected one or two errors to creep in, but the transcriptions have been excellent, and very speedy. Even the recordings I thought were poor quality were done quickly and accurately" ... Lecturer, University of Birmingham

 "The typing work is high quality, the turnaround time is always within my time limits, and Melanie Cowley has also shown herself to be helpful, adaptable, and trustworthy. I was very impressed by the confidentiality agreement that is already in place, and the clear and efficient paperwork that accompanies transactions. The relation works very well for me, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to others......."
Research Fellow - Imperial College of Science, Technology & Medicine.

"Thank you for all the work you have done on my interviews this year. I have been very pleased by the high standard of the work and the reliability of your service. I have recommended you to colleagues. Hope more work comes your way from Newcastle. I'll be sending another interview for transcription later today....."
Senior Research Associate - University of Newcastle

 "...Thank you for the transcripts – we are really impressed with the quality and how quickly you have turned this around for us.  We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending your company – it has been a pleasure doing business with you.  An efficient and excellent company to use…"     Haslimann Taylor  

"...Thank you for the transcripts and for doing such a good job, Im quite amazed at how well you've taken rambling audio interviews and turned them into sensible and well formatted word documents. It's been a fast, efficient and value for money service..."    Tony Rice, Director, Equiteq

".........provided an excellent level of service with extremely accurate transcripts, some of which were recorded in less than perfect circumstances. Return times have always been exceptional with flexibility to suit our active fieldwork team...."
Senior Administrator - National Evaluation of the Children's Fund

"..........reliable, efficient and most importantly accurate, particularly given the complexity of some of this material. The turnaround of tapes was very prompt and the whole service was very accommodating to individual needs.
I will certainly use their services if I need transcription in the future and would not hesitate to recommend them to others............"
Senior Lecturer - University of Central England

".........When our regular Virtual PA went on holiday, we trawled the web for a temporary replacement. Audio Transcriptions was just one company we initially contacted via their website. The response was professional, quick and friendly. This, combined with a competitive rate, helped us to choose them. Our files were completed exactly as we required with no fuss, no mistakes and a better turn-around time than with our existing VPA! We are delighted with the service and hope that we can use The Transcription Company UK again in the future......"
Finance Manager - UK Letting Agent,

".........WOW! - I'm very impressed and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you if I know of anyone else looking for a transcription service. Thank you for an excellent service - clear instructions, quick and clear quotation, good advice on getting info to you and remarkable turnaround........ "
