Finally Foot Pedals For Express Scribe In Australia

If you are anything like me, making the transition from the old tape transcription systems to digital was easy, well almost, using the function keys instead of the trusty transcription foot pedal took some getting used to with Express Scribe.




We have been looking for good quality transcription foot controls in Australia for some time. Now that we are linked with Philips Dictation on our online store, Dictate Australia we are now able to provide just that - sturdy, well made, USB transcription foot pedal controls sourced here in Australia.

The Philips Digital Transcription USB Foot Control is what we have been waiting for. Easily installed, just install the supplied driver, plug into a spare USB port and away you go, a foot control for Express Scribe.

The USB transcription foot pedal is selling for AU$150 plus $16 postage. Next day delivery is possible down the Australian East coast for orders received before 12pm Sydney time. So if you need one in a hurry you know where to go.

Use Your iPod As A Digital Voice Recorder

We recently discovered some very neat accessories for owners of iPod Nano's and the bigger video iPods. A couple of innovative companies, Griffin Technology and XtremeMac have created microphones for these iPods allowing the owner to record audio and in effect turn the iPod into a digital voice recorder.



When compared to the cost of a new digital voice recorder the microphones for iPods can give you a substantial cost saving, both the Griffin iTalk Pro and the XtremeMac MicroMemo retail for less than AU$100.



We recently added both the iTalk Pro and the MicroMemo to our Australian digital voice recorder store, Dictate Australia and in the first month the MicroMemo is prooving to be very popular.

So, if you own an iPod and are looking for a new digital voice recorder you might want to consider a microphone for your iPod as an alternative.

The Transcription People - USA

This week marks another milestone for The Transcription People. We launched our American website www.TheTranscriptionPeople.com


Our geographical location makes Australia the perfect place for the USA to send audio for an overnight transcription service which can be back the next working day. Not only that, with a country of native English speakers clients in the US know the service they will receive will not only be fast and accurate but also grammatically correct.

Our physical location is not the only benefit. Value for money is also another driving factor bringing business from the USA down under.

Now that we have opened our doors in the US we look forward to welcoming more international clients to our growing list of very happy customers.

Happy New (Financial) Year !!

Passing quietly into the new financial year 07-08 in Australia on 1st July we officially dropped our old trading name "AMC Professional Office Services" to become "The Transcription People" and to officially launch our new website www.thetranscriptionpeople.com.au

We started from humble beginnings with just one typist back in 1998 and have since grown to over 20 experienced transcriptionists located all over Australia and New Zealand. We originally started out as a Virtual Assistant business, offering a full range of outsourced secretarial services but we quickly found that transcription was our niche.

With our new name and new image we plan to continue to grow our client base and expand further into the US and Europe with transcription franchise opportunities now available in the UK, USA, New Zealand and China.

For our existing clients and prospective new clients we hope you like our new image and can rest assured that we continue to provide the very best in transcription quality and customer service.
