Elite Offers a Faster, Better Way for Private Investigators to Transcribe Audio and Video Files

For private investigators, documenting findings is an important part of your job. However, it can also be the most tedious – and definitely not the reason you became a private investigator in the first place. Rather than type out all those recordings yourself, it’s much more cost and time effective to contract it out to a professional private investigator transcription service like Elite Office Solutions.

We provide online transcription services including professional private investigator transcription services for:

  • Recorded meetings and interviews
  • Wiretaps
  • Surveillance recordings (including video with audio)
  • Body-worn cam (BWC)
  • Court and similar proceedings
  • Recorded statements
  • Recorded investigative notes*
  • Audio from any recorded source

Elite’s trained – and human – transcriptionists maintain an industry-standard 98% accuracy rate. That means you’ll spend less time reviewing and fixing errors than you would with offshored or AI transcription services.

What is Private Investigator Transcription?

Private investigator transcription is the act of transcribing audio files into text for private investigators. These audio files can come from a number of sources including:

  • Interviews
  • Meetings
  • Wiretaps
  • Body-worn cams (BWC)
  • Surveillance recordings (audio or video with audio)
  • Other recorded audio

Transcription generated from those recordings makes documenting cases and writing reports faster and easier. That means private investigators can spend less time organizing evidence (which can be tedious) and more time collecting evidence – which for most is the whole reason they joined the profession.

Elite Office Solutions’ accurate transcription, fast turnaround, and outstanding customer service make private investigator transcription fast and easy.

Advantages of Private Investigator Transcription

Report writing and documentation are both important parts of any investigation. However, they are often the least-favorite chore. Private investigator transcription services from Elite Office Solutions makes documenting your case and writing reports faster and easier.

Elite provides private investigators with:

  • Fast, easy transcripts of surveillance, meetings, and other recorded audio
  • An easy way to document evidence
  • A system to submit audio as you get it rather than all at once for even faster service
  • Easier report writing from your recorded notes

The Advantages of Recording Your Notes instead of Writing Notes

Typing a private investigator report – or any report – can be tedious and time consuming. But Elite Office Solutions makes it easier by converting your audio files including your recorded investigative notes into text that you can cut, copy, and paste for faster report writing.

Yes – you can record your investigative notes and send them for transcription for a faster, easier note-taking solution! You know what it’s like to write notes on a notepad or type them into a computer. It’s slow and tedious, and sometimes awkward depending on where you are.

But a handheld digital recorder is smaller, more portable, and much easier to use – anywhere you happen to be. You can even use a recorded notes app on your phone. Recording your notes is also faster because most people speak faster than they type or write.

Then, you simply upload to Elite’s secure servers and get back the written transcripts within 24-48 hours. (Rush jobs are rarely a problem – call now if you need your notes back faster. 800-977-8973 | 215-491-0400))

Get us on your case right now, because:

  • Recording your notes is faster and easier than writing
  • A digital recorder – or your phone – is easier to carry than a notepad or laptop
  • Elite’s professional private investigator transcription services can get your notes back to you within 24-48 hours, or faster if needed
  • Report writing is faster and easier because you can copy and paste your completed transcription into your reports

How to Use Private Investigator Transcription Services

Private investigator overwhelmed with paperwork. Transcription services help reduce time spent on office tasks.
Overwhelmed by paperwork? Private investigator transcription reduces the time and energy you spend on office tasks so you can focus on the case.

Elite’s private investigator transcription services can convert most audio and video sources into text for documentation purposes or to make report writing easier.

Wiretaps and Other Forms of Audio Surveillance

Going through audio surveillance recordings takes time. That’s why most clients prefer to have those conversations documented in text. Not only is it easier to review, text is searchable. Simply type in the word or words and quickly find the part of the conversation you’re looking for. Plus, if your client is a lawyer, they’ll need written transcripts for any court proceedings.

Meetings and Interviews

Often, you can gather information without surveillance by simply talking to sources. Recording those conversations is important for your client – especially if the case goes to court. But equally important is generating a written record of what is said. These transcripts can be used as documentation in court or to help you or your client build a case.

Note Taking

It’s usually faster for most people to record notes instead of writing or typing them. That’s because most people speak faster than they write. Plus, carrying a digital recorder (or even your phone) is much easier than lugging around a notebook or laptop. You can then upload your audio files to Elite’s secure servers where we will convert them to text. That way, you can copy and paste for faster report writing and have all the written documentation ready to hand over to your client.

Case Study

How We Helped One Private Investigator Wear Only One Hat…

Private investigators lead busy lives. You have to wear two hats, documenting your actions as you’re doing them.

…or do you? As one of our clients found out, there is a world where you can only focus on gathering information and let someone else organize it for you!

A client in Philadelphia decided that he only wanted to wear his private investigator hat and leave the documentation to the professionals – Elite Office Solutions. He did a lot of surveillance work, and our private investigator transcription services turned all his audio evidence into written documents. We also acted as his back office, keeping him organized and on task. If his client ever needed his files on short notice, we were there to help him put it all together faster. He would often comment how much easier we made his job, knowing that he could focus on his work, not his documentation!

Elite offers a wide range of transcription and office services to support all our private investigator clients. Transcription, organization, dictation – we can do it all! Contact us to find out how we can help you manage your back office tasks so you can wear just one hat, too.
