"Sally-Anne can type as fast as you can speak... She puts you on speakerphone, types what you say straight into her computer, then produces your letter or report. She is highly experienced in drafting minutes of meetings and interviews, and you can even link her into your teleconference meetings or interviews, where she transcribes what is said then drafts your minutes, interview report or verbatim transcript."
On Time Typing has also been featured in The Latrobe Valley Express, Thursday 8th May 2008 - article entitled Learn how to promote your small business:
"According to Latrobe City senior business development officer Leo Billington, business operators should develop an effective network of people to help attract more customers... Mr Leo Billington said effective networking had assisted operators like Sally-Anne Watson who owns Gippsland's only transcribing business, On Time Typing. Ms Watson has been providing personal business secretarial and administration services for many years now. 'Word of mouth endorsement is extremely cost effective, so I aim to network with those who are also in small business as well as with community groups and acquaintances,' [Ms Watson] said... 'Networking is all about self-promotion and it has to be ongoing...' She said networking can be done as an informal practice but attending seminars and workshops was useful as you met many like-minded people. 'It is wise also to pick the right time to network - being in the right place at the right time certainly helps,' Ms Watson added. The networking seminar has been developed by the Office of Small Business from the Victorian Property Fund... "
