Our
Services - Ordering Information
Submitting
documents for transcription
We
accept the following formats: Word for Windows; rich text/plain
text; PDF and HTML. However we do accept hard copy documents.
In order
for us to provide you with an accurate quotation, we strongly
recommend that you send us samples of the documents first.
Finally,
we suggest that companies planning to avail their literature
in various formats, should set the wheels in motion at,
or as near to, the time they decide to produce them in print
so as to allow enough time for the material to be transcribed
and ready on the date of their printed documents.
Timescales
No
two jobs are the same in terms of size and style. Therefore
timescales will vary accordingly. Naturally, plain text
is easier and will invariably take less time than charts
and tables. Because we take great care with everything we
transcribe, enlarge and record, we believe little can be
gained by speed.
Our
Quotation and Ordering Policy
It
is now no longer our policy to supply quotations over the
telephone without first having seen the document you wish
to be transcribed. You may wish to receive your quotation
by e-mail, fax or by post. We will not, however, proceed
with the transcription of any material without the signed
and dated copy of our initial quotation which you may return
either by fax or surface mail.
Your
responsibilities under new legislation
Following
the introduction of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995
(DDA), which came into force as a vehicle to help combat
discrimination faced by the uk's population of disabled
people, we, as a company, are making every effort to help
public service providers bring their policies into line
with the legislation. Under the Act, companies and all public
service providers have an obligation to make reasonable
and acceptable adjustment to the way they operate in order
to accommodate the needs of persons with a disability. For
us, our mission is to encourage them to make their literature
available to the sight impaired in formats they can readily
access - like, Braille, for instance, large print and audio
recordings.
Does
your company's equal opportunities policy include provisions
for blind and partially-sighted people?
The
1995 Disability Discrimination Act explains in detail what
companies and public service providers should now be doing
to accommodate the needs of the disabled. To obtain more
information about the Act, call the Disability Rights Commission
on 0845 762 2633.
