My clients know that while AI transcription works well for clear audio, it often misses key details. With my service, every word is proofread, formatted, and reviewed for accuracy. I also flag important points or overlooked details to ensure your transcript is polished and thorough—something AI alone can't deliver and most of my clients simply do not have time to do themselves!

Feeling grateful for these kind words from Andy Radice:

𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲, 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘆, 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀?

Drawing on industry best practices and proven search results, here’s how I seamlessly integrate AI tools into my transcription process:

𝙄𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣:
I use AI-powered transcription software to generate an initial automated transcript. This provides a quick first draft and saves significant time compared to manual transcription from scratch.

𝙃𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙀𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜:
While AI tools are helpful, I always follow up with a thorough human review. I carefully go through the AI-generated transcript to correct any errors, refine formatting, and ensure accuracy, especially for industry-specific terminology or complex audio.

𝙇𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘼𝙄 𝙁𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨:
I make use of AI-powered features like speaker identification, timestamps, and noise reduction to enhance the quality and usability of the transcript.

𝙌𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠𝙨:
I utilise AI-based quality control software to flag potential issues like inconsistent formatting, missing speaker labels, or unusual paragraph lengths. This helps me focus my manual review efforts more efficiently.

𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨:
When handling sensitive information, I ensure the AI tools I use adhere to strict data security and privacy standards.

By combining AI efficiency with human expertise in this way, I'm able to produce high-quality transcripts more quickly and accurately than either method alone could achieve.

Hi there! I’m Shirley and I’m a virtual assistant, based in Milton Keynes.

I’m sure you’ve seen my posts kicking around on social media but you may have noticed that I don’t share a lot about myself, personally. My imposter syndrome hinders my ability to do that, so I’d like to nip that in the bud right now.

Here are 6 fun facts you may not know about me:

~ I once jumped out of a plane for charity. I found that easier than being on the top of a ferris wheel at the fairground. I have a huge fear of heights and can’t walk over a glass floor. I didn’t feel the fear as much from 17,000 feet.

~ I do all my own DIY. From assembling furniture, putting up shelves, curtain rails or blinds, fixing a tumble dryer by adding a new heat element. I have my own tool kit, drill and find it hugely satisfying. I should use a spirit level more often though.

~I am a sucker for a cold glass of prosecco or a frothy coffee.

~Throughout the pandemic, I’ve been teaching my 3 kids to cook. One is a star baker and aspires to enter Junior Bake Off one day (age 10), one is a culinary masterchef and often makes our evening meals (age 13); and the other is a hungry critic who likes to give a judges verdict (age 10 - twin sister).

~I once arranged a transport reception at the House of Commons and my colleague and I were invited for drinks in the Terrace Cafeteria, members only area overlooking the Thames.

~I used to work in a building with a view into Buckingham Palace back garden. I would often see the Queen’s corgi’s and once saw a helicopter sink into the grass before they installed a cement base.

And there you have it!

Tell me a random fact about yourself in the comments!

Let’s say, you are in a long boring meeting and fall asleep at the wheel when you are allocated an action. “What was that action?”. “Who said that?”. “When is the deadline?”.

Keep yourself and others accountable with DIGITAL TRANSCRIPTION. Record the meeting (with attendee permissions), send me the audio and I will convert it into beautiful minutes for the actions to be easily extracted into a column for the next meeting.

Drop me a line at [email protected] if you would like some help!
