The blind--teaching the Blind

SERVICES


Since 1994, the non-profit organization, Adaptive Technology for Rehabilitation, Integration, and Empowerment of the Visually Impaired (ATRIEV), has been
helping blind people gain access to post-secondary education and mainstream employment. So far, ATRIEV is the only NGO that has skillfully woven together private business enterprise and government agencies to support demand-driven programs for the blind.

Computer literate visually impaired persons are touch typists and excellent listeners. Thus, transcription is a perfect job for them.

WHAT WE TRANSCRIBE

We transcribe proceedings of CONFERENCES, MEETINGS, FORUMS, CONVENTIONS, SYMPOSIA, focus group discussions (FGDs), interviews and SIMILAR EVENTS, from your recording on cassette tape, audio CD, VCD, VHS, or digital format (MP3 or WAV).

DELIVERY

We start work on your transcription job immediately upon receipt of your recorded material, and continuously strive for faster turnaround time without compromising accuracy. After transcription and proofreading, we submit to you for final check a digital file in MS Word format and/or printout on letter-size paper, for which we provide a 15-day period before deleting backup files. After we make the necessary corrections, you get the final transcription.

OUR GUARANTEE

We guarantee continuously improving ACCURACY, reasonable TURNAROUND TIME, and CONFIDENTIALITY with respect to the contents of your material. Of course, we also guarantee COST-EFFECTIVE RATES
