Something new at the Texas Legislature - overnight written transcripts of all proceedings
AUSTIN, Texas -- SpeakWrite LLC, an Austin-based offsite transcription company (www.speakwrite.com), has begun providing inexpensive full text, verbatim transcripts of all Texas Legislative Hearings, available 24/7, with the written transcript delivered via email 24 hours after order.
These written transcriptions provide a record of every minute of the proceedings of every Committee, every Floor Session, every Press Conference and they are all available 'on demand.' Lobbyists, Legislators, state Agencies, Interest groups and other interested parties never have to sit in another hearing or listen to hours of recorded testimony or content online. With a full content, verbatim transcript of any Legislative Committee hearing, they can read exactly what was said and review hours of proceedings in minutes, all from the comfort of their own office. (For the first time ever, you can be in two places at the same time!) And since the transcript is delivered in MS Word format, users can send excerpts to their clients, store or print for later review and always be sure that there is nothing they 'missed' in their notes.
The word-for-word content of an hour-long hearing can be read and reviewed in minutes and is then available for reference or other use whenever desired. There is no longer any requirement to take notes to capture pertinent or important comments or testimony. With these transcripts you have it all.
It's easy to order a transcript and to see a free sample of the work. Just go to www.legislativetranscripts.com, select the hearing segments (or the entire hearing) of the Legislative Committee you want transcribed and SpeakWrite will send your written, verbatim hearing transcription directly to your email within 24 hours of the order placed. From that site, you can also get full details on the service and its cost and a free transcription sample (the full proceedings of the 2011 Sunset Advisory Commission, held January 12, 2011)
Richard Jackson, President of SpeakWrite, says, "Our Lobbyist clients, special interest groups and their representatives and a host of others interested in the day-to-day proceedings and activities of the Texas Legislature report that the service is always fast, accurate and reliable. With these transcripts, they have a complete record of everything that happens at these hearings without having to park themselves or some staffer in a hearing room all day, and they tell us that the verbatim record received is far more valuable to them than whatever notes they would normally take or have someone take on the spot. It lets them know that they have the hearing truly 'covered,' so that nothing is going to happen there, of which they are not aware."
