“We need a fast and accurate transcription service for keynote speeches that I often give on behalf of Anglicare SA. Every time I have been very impressed with the quality of the transcription and the speed with which it is delivered to us. Ruth had been enthusiastically recommended to me by Mr Geoff Anderson of Flinders University – I have no difficulty understanding why.”

Chief Executive, Anglicare SA
(former Premier of South Autralia) (March 2010)
“I have contracted Ruth on a number of occasions and also recommended Ruth to other colleagues. Ruth provides an excellent and very prompt service. Ruth is very pleasant to deal with either by telephone or email. Ruth has set up a very efficient and user friendly website system that you can deposit your electronic recordings for transcription. The results are fantastic.”

“Thanks again for all your help. The transcripts were fantastic!”
Georgina McKay, University of Adelaide (November 2010)
“ Ruth has been transcribing interviews for me for over three years now. I do a lot of work out bush and the recordings of the interviews are not always of the highest quality, but somehow Ruth manages to transcribe the interviews as though they had been recorded in a studio. She picks up every word! Not only that, but she is fast and reliable. Now I can upload the audio files to the website which just makes the process simple and secure. I don’t have to worry about the files getting lost in cyberspace. I can’t remember who recommended Ruth to me, but I am very glad they did.”

“My company recently employed the secretarial services of Ruth Ridgwell of Top Type Transcription & Secretarial . The quality, timeliness and accuracy of her work was outstanding; my requirements were delivered ahead of schedule. I was extremely impressed with her professionalism and have absolute confidence in her reliability. I will definitely use Ruth Ridgwell for secretarial support for my future requirements and strongly recommend her, without hesitation, to anyone requiring the services of a virtual secretary / administrative support. It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Ruth.”

“We have used Top Type Transcription and Secretarial as an essential part of our researching the biography of a prominent Australian. We have presented Ruth with long, sometimes poorly recorded, complex and sensitive interviews and she handles them accurately and efficiently. She is very tactful and we have complete faith that confidential material is respected. Ruth is very pleasant to work with and has eased our task more than she realises. Her service is top quality and value.”
