Talk to Type Transcription is an AAERT/CAPTUR certified electronic transcriber approved for preparation of verbatim report of proceedings in King, Pierce, and Kitsap Counties as well as numerous others throughout Washington. All VRPs are prepared in accordance with Washington Court Rules of Appellate Procedure (RAP) Rule 9.2: Verbatim Report of Proceedings, and include a searchable PDF file sent directly to you via email or filed with the Court of Appeals if applicable.
While we offer same day and overnight service for up to 150 minutes of audio, our standard rate turnaround time is 48–72 hours upon confirmation of receipt. We return work as completed via our secure FTP site assuming you needed it yesterday.
All documents are prepared in Microsoft Word and returned as a searchable PDF file sent via our FTP site, unless otherwise requested, according to RAP guidelines when applicable.
For all non-legal documents, we are happy to accommodate any specific formatting requests and typically alternate Bold/Plain font for Q&A recordings. Our per-audio-minute rate means custom font size, style and spacing does not affect your final cost.
There are no contract commitments or project size limits. We are here to meet your needs however large or small. Please note, though, there is a minimum $50 charge for first-time clients and turnaround time does vary due to length of dictation and project size.
At the completion of your project, an invoice will be generated and emailed to you with payment information. Payment is due immediately before receipt of transcript.
Please note: A 50 percent deposit is required for more than 2 hours of audio.
We keep all client information and audio is kept confidential. It is our duty. Some clients require additional documentation via a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). We are happy to sign your NDA, or we can supply one for you.
Rates
We understand that cost is of the utmost importance to you and will do our best to meet or beat any competitor’s quoted rate. All projects are transcribed by local humans and never computer generated or outsourced for the highest quality, professional results and best customer service.
You may get a lower base quote, but be careful. For all non-legal assignments, our rates are quoted per audio minute. This gives you an upfront project cost without the guessing game or surprises associated with other pricing tiers.
Our rate chart covers all the standard features of a high quality transcript for non-legal purposes only. Rates include proofing and guaranteed accuracy, plus the ability to customize turnaround time. Why pay more for a higher base rate if you don’t need to?

I have used several transcription services, but when I found Talk To Type Transcription – I have not had to look elsewhere since. Every request is met with immediate response which is very much appreciated – it makes planning my cases and time so much easier. And the service provided is dependable, flexible, and on point. I know when I need a quick turn around I will not be sacrificing quality on any aspect of the service interaction; there is an apparent desire to make sure I have what I need when I need it, and with all that is on my plate with cases and clients each day, it is a relief to know this is one less thing I need to worry about. One of the most dependable tools in my toolbox!
I have practiced law for more than 40 years. Holly Rydel Kelly is an outstanding transcriptionist. She is reliable and always, always prompt. Her billings are fair and reasonable. I have given her police audio arrest tapes, poor quality court tapes and some good recordings. She can be relied upon to do a great job.
I would have never managed getting all these documents transcribed myself. You are a lifesaver!
I was very pleased with your service-great price, fabulous turnaround, and the transcript was well done. Great job!
I am so pleased with your work. Thank you so much. I look forward to working with you (again) in the future.
