Re: [FCP-L] Re: Looking for budget transcription

Can't we try to keep the work in the US for the greater good? I use
Velma @ acetranscriptions:

Wes,

Here a link to a company that we use in the UK:

http://www.take1.tv/

They're NOT the cheapest, but they are very good and reliable, with
internet based up & downloading so it really doesn't matter where they
are. Timezone is an advantage for us.

By the way, we're HEAVY consumers of transcription services, spending
thousands of dollars on hundreds of hours of interviews. We use
multiple vendors to spread out the
load, and we've found that they're all within a certain price range.
You can search the world for a "bargain" but the amount of time
invested in getting that bargain may end up costing you more in the
long run.

In this area, I feel that you really do get what you pay for.

We also use: www.pilotware.com In addition to their logging
software, they now have a transcription department as well.

Good luck.
