SCOPING

Whether scoping to full audio or spot-checking only, I read every word of the transcript for context, punctuation, and spelling. I also address formatting issues.

My scoping service includes the following editing functions:
 ​

• Insert punctuation as needed throughout the transcript per reporter preferences;
• Insert missing bylines and parentheticals as needed throughout the transcript;
• ​Correct misidentified speakers as needed throughout the transcript;
• Fill in drops as needed throughout the transcript;
• Correct mistranslated steno as found throughout the transcript;

• Define untranslated steno as found throughout the transcript;
• Resolve conflicts as needed throughout the transcript;

• Research to confirm correct spellings of personal names, company names, brand names, place names, cities, streets, medical terminology, prescription drugs, and technical terminology pertaining to the subject matter at hand;
• Flag/mark the transcript for the reporter to address any unconfirmed spellings, unidentified speakers;
• Leave comments/notes for the reporter regarding any unresolved issues found while scoping.​

 
 
Please Note:

• Caption, appearance, index, and certification pages are not included in my standard scoping service.
• Indexing is not included in my standard scoping service.
• Scoping is not transcription. Excessive page growth is charged at a transcription rate.
• A scoped transcript is not a final product. Proofreading is necessary.

 
  
* For reporters who do their own research and provide spellings of all names and terms, define all untranslates, resolve all conflicts, insert all parentheticals, and generally provide an exceptionally clean transcript for scoping, a “clean writer” discount is offered.

With a skilled and dedicated scopist editing your transcript, proofreading is a breeze.
​(Please note I do not scope and proofread the same transcript.)

PROOFREADING

When proofreading your transcript, I read every word of the transcript for context, punctuation, and spelling. I also address formatting issues and utilize audio sync for spot-checking.

My proofreading service includes the following:

Line-by-line review of transcript for errors in punctuation and spelling; review for accuracy and consistency all dates, names, addresses, page numbers, and exhibit numbers used throughout the transcript; review of subject-specific terminology used within the transcript; and any additional research necessary to determine accuracy and correct use of language and content.  

Transcripts should be scoped and as close to turn-in ready as possible when submitted for proofing. 
​Transcripts should be spell-checked prior to being submitted for proofing.
