About The Typing Works, Specialist Transcription and Typing Services in Middlesex
The Typing Works was founded by Adele Herson in 1993, originally offering ‘secretarial services’. Quite early on Middlesex University asked Adele to transcribe a batch of medical interview tapes, and they were so happy with the results that work really took off through word-of-mouth referrals alone. Over the years Adele became a preferred supplier to many universities in the UK and abroad. It was the very early days of the internet so initially audio tapes were being posted to Adele and the transcripts would be typed up, printed out and posted back.
With the digital age came endless possibilities and Adele was able to expand the transcribing team, using transcribers from across the UK meaning all accents were catered for and greater numbers of clients could be taken on. Transcribers were always chosen carefully and went through a thorough vetting process to ensure that the quality of transcription never dipped. Again, solely through referrals from happy customers, the workload continued to grow along with the team. In 2024, with a heavy heart, Adele decided that it was time to step back and take a very well-earned retirement.
Peter Gresty has taken over the day-to-day running of The Typing Works with the same processes and most importantly, the same team of transcribers remaining in place. Peter and the transcription team have a fierce determination to maintain the standards set by Adele over the years and continue to offer the same friendly and high-quality service.
The Typing Works continues to operate specialist academic transcription services for university clients across the UK and around the world. We continue to expand our services and now also offer translation, copy typing and transcription in other languages.
