Dedicated to helping you reach your goals
About Me
I have been transcribing since 2007, and thoroughly enjoy the work I have undertaken for a wide range of industries.
My background is in office administration where time management and communication skills have been paramount. Along with strong computer skills, I have found these to be a crucial part of running my own transcription business.
I enjoy being the one that makes a difference to your work. So, when you've got important audio recordings that you need to have in written form, I can help you do that at an affordable cost, and in a quick turn around time.
Confidentiality is something I can assure you of, as a core part of my business ethic. I am also happy to sign any specific confidentiality agreement that you wish to provide me, to give you that added assurance.
Testimonials
I have used Megan’s Audio to Transcript service for two University projects. Each time this has been simple to set up, and I have received fast and accurate transcripts, in the agreed format, and when promised—I don’t think you can ask for more. I intend to use this service in the future and would highly recommend it to others.

I have no hesitation in recommending Megan. She has transcribed interviews and focus groups for several projects for me, and her work is always excellent – detailed and accurate with all accents and terminology, with a very quick turnaround often ahead of what was promised, and an in-depth understanding of the ethics and confidentiality involved in qualitative research. Megan is a pleasure to work with, responds quickly and transparently to all enquiries, and I hope to work with her many times in the future.
Dr Ina Reichenberger,
Senior Lecturer in Tourism Management Victoria University of Wellington
There are many hurdles in completing a masters programme, and transcribing is one of them. The conversation with Megan was a breeze and she responded to her emails promptly. Megan gave me the exact instruction on how to record a high quality audio content. Megan also gave me clear indication on when could she return the work back to me. Megan has made my life so much easier as she produced several highly accurate transcribing projects efficiently for me. I would highly recommend Megan’s service if you are seeking a professional transcriptionist.

I have no hesitation in recommending Audio to Transcript after my recent two experiences. My inquiry was answered within an hour and both jobs were completed in less than a week. I was delighted with the quality of the transcribing and the turnaround. Everything was professional about my contact.
Associate Professor Susan Lovett, University of Canterbury.
It has been a pleasure working with Audio to Transcript over the past months. As a health professional working on several projects with different teams across the country I have highly valued Megan's responsiveness, flexibility and clarity of communication working wholly virtually. I look forward to sending her further audios for transcription in the near future.

Megan is really good. She does quick turnaround, and has no trouble with various regional NZ accents and other common accents. She is familiar with Maori place names and Maori words commonly used in day to day language.

I was referred to Megan from a kind and trusted colleague who had such a great experience with Megan when she was doing her master's research.
I found Megan to be so helpful, efficient and the manner of how she presented her transcriptions was so clear and honestly she made my stress levels go down immensely.
I can never thank her enough!

I have used Megan as a transcriber for several different projects. Not only is she accurate and careful but she is also very timely in the way she does the work.

Megan is now my preferred supplier for transcription services. She is fast, accurate and cost-effective. She also understands spoken Kiwi, which is a huge bonus! Highly recommended.

We have used Megan's services extensively. She provides a quick turn-around, with an accurate time-frame of when she will return the script. Her local knowledge means that a wide range of language is accurately transcribed, for example: local accents, place names, medical terms, te reo Māori. She is very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend her as a transcriber for any project.

Megan has transcribed many recordings of interviews for my research. She is a highly professional transcriber who responds immediately to emails and manages an impressive turnaround period. She is able to decipher a range of topics and her work is meticulous. As a result I received data I could immediately analyse – an excellent outcome and a wonderful time saver.

Megan provided transcription services for me when I was completing my research masters. She provided an excellent service. I really appreciated how efficient Megan’s communications with me were, which made working to a deadline less stressful. Megan gave me clear time-frames and she often managed to deliver transcriptions even quicker than she had promised. Her work was excellent and the quick responses allowed me to get on with data analysis in a timely way and with confidence in the data.

Thank you for the work you did on interview transcriptions for two of my projects. It was very easy dealing with you. You were responsive to our needs and speedy in your delivery. The quality of the transcriptions was very good and we were totally satisfied with what you did for us.
Elizabeth Eppel (PhD)

Megan’s transcription service is absolutely brilliant. As a researcher, I frequently require transcriptions of interview recordings to carry out analysis. In this type of work, transcripts need to be turned around quickly, be accurate, and of course, be confidential. Megan understands what is required of research-related audio and transcription, and always produces transcripts that are presented and structured clearly. Communication has always been fast and easy, too – which is a big help. Highly recommended!

I've recently had the privilege of working with Megan, who transcribed research interviews for me. I was very impressed with the quality of Megan's transcriptions, the quick and reliable turnaround as well as the friendly communication along the way. I'd highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a professional transcription service and hope to have more opportunities to work with her in the future.

It was great using Megan's transcribing service - very professional and fast. A 'teamwork' approach worked well for me, transcribing a few interviews myself as I was trying to finish my transcribing quickly! It was great value for money, and I will be back with my focus group interviews.

Megan provided transcriptions services for us over the course of 2 years for a funded research project. Over the course of 30 years in research, I can honestly say she is the most professional transcriber that I have ever worked with. Her services were quick and accurate, and she transcribed three separate conversations in a single recording. I would have no hesitation in using Megan’s services again, and highly recommend her to anyone seeking transcription services,
