For urgent work, please contact Uppercase to discuss your requirements and to confirm that we will be able to deliver your work on time.
Poor Quality Recordings
Difficult recordings (for example, poor sound quality or speech not clearly enunciated) take a lot longer to transcribe and some parts may remain inaudible despite replaying the recording many times. In such cases it may be necessary to charge an extra 30p per recorded minute. We will always discuss the options with you before proceeding.

New clients may be asked for a deposit of 25% of the estimated cost.
