At MMG, we transcribe witness and PACE regulated interviews for a large number of constabularies in the UK and overseas and are working with BigHand digital dictation software suppliers on an exciting new project which will enable police officers to reduce the time they spend on paperwork.
This service will work using the Blackberry phone, whereby officers dictate their notes into the phone using the BigHand digital dictation software. The dictations can then be sent by secure methods to MMG for transcription which will then be returned almost immediately. By outsourcing the transcription of the dictations to experienced transcribers, police officers will be able to reduce the time they spend typing up their notes themselves and be able to concentrate on more important matters.
We understand that the content of the police interviews and dictations can be highly sensitive so we ensure that these recordings are only transcribed in-house at our offices, by security cleared and experienced transcribers. We never outsource overseas and will only send to our freelance transcribers if given the go ahead by our clients.
