Interview reports

'You speak your report – I'll write it!' On Time Typing has specialised in transcribing interview reports since 2002. We transcribe your reports via telephone or on-site, anywhere in Australia. All you need for On Time Typing to transcribe your interviews via telephone is a speaker phone; or if your interviews are being conducted via teleconference, On Time Typing will link into your teleconference.

  • We first offer you a free consultation via telephone and/or email to explain the process and make a tentative booking to transcribe your interview reports.
  • We then send you a personalised quote for transcribing and producing your interview reports, which details the services and charges offered by On Time Typing, and a detailed outline of our roles and responsibilities in transcribing your interview reports.
  • We will provide you with a signed Guarantee of Confidentiality, Accurate Content and Delivery by Deadline upon request.
  • Once you have confirmed your booking, we ask you to email us some information so we can prepare the template for your interview report prior to the day of the interviews. On the day of the interviews, we transcribe the interviews, and transcribe the panels' discussions straight into the interview report document. If required, we prompt the panel for the information required to complete the interview report.
  • We then re-write, edit and submit your comprehensive interview reports within 2 working days.

Writing minutes and reports

On Time Typing transcribes your meetings, workshops or dictation, as you speak, straight into a document – then writes and edits your minutes, reports or other documents. We first offer you a free consultation to explain the process by which we will transcribe your event.  We then send you a personalised quote for transcribing your event and producing the minutes, reports and/or transcripts you require. Upon confirmation of your booking, we give you a signed Guarantee of Confidentiality, Accurate Content and Delivery by Deadline. If your event has been prerecorded, we also give you a signed Guarantee of 100% Accurate Transcripts (for audible recordings). If appropriate, we then ask you to email us some information so that we can prepare a template for your minutes or report prior to transcribing your  event.
