Almost every type of searching today happens over the internet. Just take a moment to think about all the items that you may have purchased in the last few years. Limit yourself to those items that can delivered by a courier service. For the sake of convenience, you would have bought your clothes over the internet, electronics like tablets, mobile phones. It does not stop with that and if you are really adventurous, even footwear could have been purchased online.
If you are buying something online, you are searching about what you are going to purchase, online as well. That’s fairly obvious by now. If you can do your research and buy stuff off the internet with full confidence, why not extend the same courtesy to meeting your business typing service needs? There are a lot of methods to find out about the variety of service providers that are available from the comfort of your office.
Search Engines
Ever since search engines broke into the online scene in the later part of the 1990s, they have become the starting point for everything. There was an ad once where a guy starts by searching for a place to study and it ends with him searching for a place to get married, all from within the search engine. It’s insightful and meaningful as well. The popular search engines that you have probably heard of is Google and Bing. Other than these there are other search engines, but we would not recommend you not to waste any time on using them.
Once you zeroed in on the search engine you are going to use, use simple keywords such as ‘Typing Services’, ‘Audio Typing’ and ‘Transcription Services’ to find out what are your available options. There was a time when you had to add in your location information as well. For instance, A few years ago, you might have initiated a search with the key words – ‘Audio Typing Services – London’ or ‘Audio Typing Services UK’ to search for providers in your region.
Those days are gone because search engines are fairly smart these days. It might be a bit of a privacy concern, but in most cases, they have a rough estimate which city you are searching for information from. So, they always try to narrow down the searches to your preferences. So, when you key in ‘audio typing’, you can be fairly certain that the search results will include the ones close to your physical location in the top twenty or ten results.
Website Based Research
All companies use fairly efficient search engine optimization to ensure that your keywords match with theirs. Soon enough, you could browsing through at least a dozen websites that represent companies that provide transcription services. How do we tell the better ones from the poor ones?
While it is not advisable to judge a book by a cover, a company website that is pleasing to the eye is a clear indication that at least the service provider is serious about marketing his services. Of the ten sites you may have visited, if you find that five of them have incredibly clunky design, you might as well ignore them. These clunky site owners obviously don’t respect their own company enough to have a decent website, how can you expect them to serve you with panache, dedication and efficiency?
Of those sites that laid out properly, look for various categories of services that the companies provide. Usually, it is advisable that you go with those companies that provide an entire gamut of services that is related to audio typing. Among typing services, there are those that only focus on the typing part of the business, while others do expand beyond their horizon to include peripheral services such as database services as well.
