Examples of our successful transcription & recording services
Major Scottish Public Fatal Inquiry
Following on from our contract with the Scottish Court Service, MMG were asked to provide recording and same-day transcription services for a major Fatal Accident Inquiry in Scotland, due to run for 6 months from November 2009 and to be attended by the Scottish Attorney General and senior QCs from the Scottish Office. We set up all necessary equipment, hired a local person to be on-site every day to log proceedings and to then send the recordings in 20 minute sections throughout the day to our offices in Tiverton. From here a co-ordinator allocates the sections to home-workers based in Scotland and pieces together the finished transcripts ready to send back to the court later in the day. The quickest turnaround time we have achieved using this service is 2 hours from the end of the last session. The inquiry is still in court and is currently the longest running inquiry in Scotland. We have received very positive comments from all parties involved.
In addition to the above, we are also in attendance at an inquiry located in Aberdeen, providing similar onsite recording and transcription services.
Crown Prosecution Service
Since 2005 we have been transcribing audio and video recordings for the CPS and, in May 2009, renewed our contract for another 3 years. The recordings we receive are of a highly secure and sensitive nature which our transcribers have been fully trained to deal with. We are contracted to receive 4,000 recording per year, and are also currently processing extra work from other suppliers who are unable to fulfil their own requirements. The process of receiving tapes/videos, transcribing and returning transcripts via secure methods has been developed over the years into a very comprehensive and efficient system and enables all staff involved in the ‘secure’ department to maintain our high security and quality standards.
