SCOPING
Whether scoping to full audio or spot-checking only, I read every word of the transcript for context, word usage, homophones, punctuation, and spelling. I also address formatting issues.
My scoping service includes the following:
Please Note:
* 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.
Whether scoping to full audio or spot-checking only, I read every word of the transcript for context, word usage, homophones, punctuation, and spelling. I also address formatting issues.
My scoping service includes the following:
- Inserting punctuation as needed throughout the transcript per reporter preferences;
- Inserting missing bylines and parentheticals as needed throughout the transcript;
- Correcting misidentified speakers as needed throughout the transcript;
- Filling in drops as needed throughout the transcript;
- Correcting mistranslated steno as found throughout the transcript;
- Defining untranslated steno as found throughout the transcript;
- Resolving conflicts as needed throughout the transcript;
- Researching 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;
- Flagging areas in the transcript needing the reporter's attention for any issues not resolved during scoping;
- Leaving hidden notes in the transcript with suggestions, comments, fun facts, and amusing anecdotes;
- Running spell check.
Please Note:
- Drafting the caption, appearance, index, and certification pages is not included in my standard scoping service. However, I will edit those pages for spelling, punctuation, and formatting if they are included with the transcript.
- Auto-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.

PROOFREADING
When proofreading your transcript, I read every word of the transcript for context, word usage, homophones, 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.
