Excellent, professional service

Personalised and wonderfully supportive. No question too small. Turnaround incredible! I tried to do the transcription myself before giving in and asking for help from McGowan. Each script I tried to do was taking me days - these guys did a much better job in a fraction of the time. Highly recommend.

Five star service

Five star service. Really professional and accurate transcriptions, incredibly fast and efficient turnaround and overall just lovely people to deal with throughout. It was really easy to do and required minimal input from us. They were really accomodating for all our requests, including some quite specific needs we had, and never made us feel like we were being difficult! I really can't recommend highly enough. We had tried other services and AI software but the results were unusable and a waste of money - investing in these guys is the best thing we ever did.

Great contact & attention to detail

Very quick to provide a quote, great communication, very fast turnaround and attention to detail in the transcripts (e.g. make the effort to check spelling of company names mentioned in the interviews).
