Transcription for Authors

Write your book your way!

When the creativity hits, it hits hard. You need to make the most of your creative periods, and they don’t always hit at opportune moments. Dictating your words can leave your hands free to do other things while still getting your words in.

Dictation may be for you if:

  • You prefer a narrative storytelling style rather than having to sit and write;
  • You’re an independent author feeling the pressure to publish more—and faster;
  • Your mind works best when your hands are busy; or 
  • You’re at the point in your publishing career where you can outsource the un-fun parts to focus on what you love—the creativity!

Now here’s the snag…

Every one hour of dictation takes approximately four hours to transcribe, two to three if you’re an experienced transcriptionist. 

The time you’ve saved by dictating gets eaten up by having to transcribe by hand, or by using an AI-transcription service (which may provide less-than-stellar results) and comparing that to the audio file.

It’s boring, tedious, and there must be a better way… 

That’s where I come in. 

I will transcribe your audio recording so you have more time to focus on the things that matter—the things only you can do!

Why choose R. A. Wright Editing for your transcription needs? 

  • You get me! Rachelle of R. A. Wright Editing. I’ve been editing fiction since 2021, but I also love transcription! 
  • Your transcription will be completed by a professional editor. I have many tricks up my sleeve for consistency and accuracy. 
  • You’ll only deal with one person—one transcriptionist to know your preferences and to create style sheets if they haven’t been provided so that you can maintain accuracy between books or within series. 
  • No AI name fails, and full transparency on the software and programs used. Beyond Word’s spell check and PerfectIt!, I don’t use AI, so you can rest assured your transcript won’t be training any AI service. 
  • You get the freedom of having a transcriptionist along with some of the benefits of hiring an editor! 
    Sounds like a dream, right?
