Information for Customers
Rush Work
If your project needs to be completed quicker than normal we can expedite your work for an additional fee. Rush jobs will get first priority and completed on your timeframe. We will charge an additional 15% fee above our normal invoice for the work.
Environmental Practices
It is important to us to be environmentally sustainable. We are proud that we are 99% paperless in our operations. When we use paper, we always use 100% recycled paper and envelopes.
In order to reduce paper use, we send our invoices electronically. To assist in in that effort, we request that you not print the invoice to return with your payment.
Confidentiality
We consider all our work to be confidential. We will not share your name, nor your project with anyone without your express permission. When doing transcription work, we are careful to protect the confidentiality of your interview subjects. Please let us know what the privacy requirements of your project are.
Beginning a Project With Wordsworth
Before sending a project to Wordsworth, you can streamline the process by letting us know in advance:
- The amount of typing or audio recordings you have
- The timeline for when you will be sending recordings
- The format of the work. If typing, is it handwritten, or typed, for example. For transcription work, is it dictation, interviews, focus groups or a conference? Also, for transcription work please let us know what physical format it will be in: casette, mini-cassette, digital files.
- Time constraints for when you need your work back
- The format in which the transcription or typing should be delivered, e.g. electronic copy and/or hard copy. If electronic, we can provide it in many formats; our standard format is Microsoft Word.

For those of you who send us work via courier, such as FedEx and Airborne, please note that because we are located in the hinterlands, we don't get Saturday delivery from couriers. Therefore, please don't pay extra for that service.
You can send us work electronically through several means. You can send an e-mail attachment to wordsworth@wordsworthcoop.com, or to your project lead. We can also accept file uploads to our FTP server. Please contact us for login information if you wish to FTP us your files.
If you send us your recordings in the mail, please be sure to make a copy as sometimes items get lost in the mail. We ask you to keep the copy and send us the originals due to the higher sound quality of the originals.
