Our Audio Transcriber members have successfully passed both theory and practical examinations, showing excellent vocabulary, grammar and punctuation skills, as well as being able to work under pressure.
Transcripts can be provided on an expedited basis, e.g. same day/overnight, or on a standard/delayed basis. This will be discussed between the client and the member on a case-by-case basis.

About
Whether in Abu Dhabi or Arusha, Paris or Prague, the world has long been my workplace as a freelancing realtime stenographer.
I provide the same high-quality services whether I am appearing in person or remotely.
I have extensive experience delivering realtime and transcription services for:
• US depositions (pharma, patent, telecoms, technology)
• Canadian discovery examinations
• United Nations tribunals
• International arbitrations (ICC, UNCITRAL, ICSID, LCIA)
• Court hearings, both UK and international
• Captioning (Microsoft, Apple, trade unions, arts & culture, family court)
I have been reporting since 1992, having trained in Brisbane, Australia (my hometown) throughout 1990/1991. I am certified in Australia, the UK, and the US, having achieved the US certifications of RPR (Registered Professional Reporter), CRR (Certified Realtime Reporter) and the RMR (Registered Merit Reporter – highest testing speed at 260wpm).
I also hold BIVR’s Qualified Realtime Reporter accreditation with distinction at Level 1 (2009) and Level 2 (2017), and I became a Fellow of the Institute in January 2022.
I hold a current Australian passport valid for worldwide travel, including the EU.
Realtime is my favourite pastime.
