Especially in the legal or medical field, it is of the utmost importance to generate correct and error-free pleadings. In other areas such as science, market research or journalism, typos, transposed figures or grammatical errors (for example in a contract or trade union minutes, etc.) can also have devastating effects.
But as a negotiator, business partner, treating doctor or legal representative, do you have the time to proofread your notes, records and reports so often that the pleading is perfect? In these fast-moving times, you can answer this question for yourself. So-called typing agencies such as abtipper.de exist for precisely this problem.

What is a typing pool?
In our digital age, one of the biggest advantages is that you can perform some tasks from almost anywhere in the world. This is also the case with writing services. Someone dictates (there is now a dictation function on almost every cell phone has a dictation functionotherwise you can also use special dictation devices in specialist shops), someone else transcribes this dictation. The transcribing of dictations, lectures and interviews is the main task of a typing pool.
This service can be carried out from the location of the typing pool and is possible regardless of your locationno matter where the client is located. For example, you may be on a business trip in Frankfurt, want to prepare a letter or an interview and simply send us your order as your writing agency in Hanover. So you don't have to rely on your writing agency in Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Vienna or Zurich, but can commission us conveniently from anywhere via the Internet.
The fulfillment of your order does not have to wait until you are back in your office, but can be carried out quickly and without delay by the transcription service using the Internet.
But not only explicit dictations are taken on by a transcription agency. For example, it is also possible to dictate a pure order, which the transcription bureau employees will then work out. If, for example, it emerges at a court hearing that a pleading has been submitted late and the entire proceedings are dispensable due to this formal defect, it is sufficient to dictate all the relevant data in keywords with the instruction to withdraw the appeal. The typing pool will prepare a pleading that you could never have submitted at this speed. This is efficient, fast and very reliable.
Why do you need a typing pool?
As already mentioned, a typing pool does what its name suggests: it writes. Transcribing dictations, presentations and interviews is necessary for many areas in order to put the latest knowledge on paper or to be able to make written agreements, to be able to pass on comprehensive findings, to record facts in an expert opinion or to make contracts with the essential business content binding. A transcription service is therefore needed to take on all tasks of a written nature.
The typists employed in such an office transcribe dictations and are spelling experts, practiced in the 10-finger system, write quickly and with high quality. You also have the advantage that these jobs can be sent to the typing pool without having to stop in between. Otherwise, you would have to make your way to your secretary's office after an important appointment and wait there for your orders to be completed.
The remit of a transcription agency such as abtipper.de usually covers a wider range of tasks than simply transcribing dictations. This is the service that abtipper.de currently offers you
- Transcriptions of interviews or group discussions

What work can a writing agency do for you?
To summarize, you could say that the writing agency can take care of everything that has to do with the written word. As you can see from the list above, the range of tasks is more varied than you might expect at first glance.
Do you have complicated, difficult and extensive matters to dictate and want a high-quality document as a result? Then a transcription agency is the best choice, because only trained and suitable employees work in such areas; without perfect grammar and a large vocabulary, it is rare to work in such an agency. Speed of writing is also a major issue in transcription agencies.

Strictly speaking, there is no difference between a typing pool and a transcription service.
Transcription services often offer the full range of transcription services, from dictation, speeches and lectures to interviews, group discussions and subtitles. Many transcription agencies, on the other hand, specialize in a particular niche, e.g. medical dictation.
In the past exclusively and still sometimes today typing agencies offered their services in euros per character or line.
