Outsourcing is sometimes treated as an all-or-nothing decision. You either have an in-house typing team or you send everything elsewhere.
But that’s not how many of our clients use us. Some send us work every day. Others only need help when things get particularly busy.
Increasingly, we’re working alongside clients who prepare their own first drafts.
You might prefer dictating your reports and leaving the transcription to us. Perhaps you’ve started using speech-to-text and only need help with the formatting. Or you may have an excellent administrative team that occasionally needs additional support.
All of those arrangements can work.
Our outsourced typing services are intended to fit around your existing business, rather than require you to reorganise it.
It’s a reasonable question, particularly when you’re dealing with confidential property information.
We work with experienced freelance transcription professionals who are engaged under written agreements containing confidentiality and data protection obligations.
Access to client information is restricted to authorised personnel and our contractors are required to follow our security procedures.
We also work with established client templates and instructions, helping maintain consistency across the documents we produce.
When you send work to BackupTyping, you retain responsibility for the technical content. We follow your instructions, prepare the document and refer unclear or potentially incorrect information back to you where necessary.
If you use AI to produce the first draft, that’s entirely your decision. If you prefer traditional dictation, that’s fine too. Our role is to provide reliable transcription and document production support, whichever method you choose.
There are times when even a well-organised office has more work than it can comfortably manage. A particularly busy inspection schedule, staff holidays or a large instruction requiring many reports can quickly create a backlog.
Having an established property typing company available means you can send work out when necessary without committing to additional permanent staff.
And when things quieten down, you simply send less. For more on the time saved, see Fee Earner or Typist?.
