About Penguin Transcription
Penguin Transcription is part of Penguin Office Services, owned and run by Anne Hickley.
Penguin Transcription offers digital transcription services and can also provide transcriptions from standard cassette tape, mini tape and micro tape as well as VHS video. We can transcribe from most digital audio formats and can convert a variety of digital video formats into audio as well, in order to be able to transcribe them. We specialise in transcription for universities and students, but we also provide transcription services to businesses including conference organisers, market researchers, solicitors, the film industry and more.
Penguin Office Services offers a full VA (virtual assistant) service providing PA services on an outsourced basis, including diary management, meeting organisation, transcription of dictations, editing of reports, and creating or polishing PowerPoint presentations. Services are offered to a limited number of clients on a retainer basis (i.e. payment in advance for a number of hours a week, and working in partnership with that client organisation.) We also offer these services on a project work basis. So whether you have the need for a PA for various tasks for a few hours each week, or whether you just want on PowerPoint presentation sorted out, we’re here to help! Visit Penguin Office Services for further information.
