Customer Testimonials
VoType's principal transcriptionist, Wendy Ledger, has been transcribing everything from board meetings to oral histories since 1989.
Here are some of the reviews her work has garnered from clients:
My work as a personal historian relies heavily on accurate transcriptions of
interviews with my subjects. Wendy at VoType has provided me excellent, reliable
service for two years. I love working with Wendy. She is professional, consistent
in her high quality of work, has never missed a deadline, and is a delight to work
with. I tried out several transcription services before finding Wendy and none
came close to her consistent quality and professionalism. I highly recommend
VoType!
—Linda Hamilton Owner, Stories to Last
Wendy has transcribed all of the oral interviews for personal history books that
I write with accuracy and attention to detail. She has even researched foreign
language expressions to ensure accurate transcription. I also plan to use her
service as a proof reader/editor.
— Leslie RupleyOwner, LTR Productions: Preserving Personal Histories
Our company has turned to VoType for transcriptions of over 25 hours of Oral
Histories. The transcriptions were accurate and the turnaround time was very
quick. This was especially appreciated after our experience working with a
company overseas. We were first lured to the attractive prices of this overseas
company, but discovered very quickly that their transcriptions were unusable
because they were full of errors. We received the best value with VoType and
this is why I give them my highest possible recommendation.
—Vikky Dauciunas President, Vikkyd Productions, Inc.
I first became acquainted with Wendy Ledger of VoType Transcription Services at
the 2008 annual conference of the Association of Personal Historians. Impressed
with her demeanor, I followed up to learn more about her services. I initially
chose to work with Wendy for my interview transcription because she was willing
to offer a rate per interview hour, which makes it much simpler for me to estimate
my expenses and translate them into my client fees. After completion of a number
of projects, I have found Wendy's rates fair, her turnaround time excellent,
and her work professional, up to standard and a great value. I highly
recommend Wendy Ledger and VoType Transcription Services!
— Diane DassowOwner, Binding Legacies
I have been working with Wendy for almost 13 years.
She is one of the best transcriptionists I have ever
worked with, and I have known several hundred since
starting my business 26 years ago. She has an
excellent grasp of the English language, vocabulary,
grammar, spelling, and a good ear for nuances of
language and accents. She is also extremely
responsible in meeting deadlines and communicating
with clients. Both her work and her work ethic are impeccable.
—Nina Feldman Nina Feldman Connections
For many years, I did my own transcribing, so I'm particular about how it's done.
Wendy Ellen meets my high standards; she is very fast, accurate, and a good
communicator. I like her pricing system and find her fees very fair.
I'm delighted to recommend her.
—Trena Cleland Personal Historian, First Person Narratives
Wendy Ellen Ledger served as my assistant during 1989-1990.
During those two years, she transcribed a large number of
cassette tapes from conferences and interviews, including
dialogues for an entire book, Belonging to the Universe, which
I coauthored with Brother David Steindl-Rast. From 1994 to the
present she has been transcribing tapes for the Center for
Ecoliteracy, of which I am a founding director.
During all those years I have always greatly appreciated her dedication to this work, her promptness, speed, and high accuracy, and her ability to deal with complex texts, which has been especially important for my scientific work.
Wendy is a delight to work with and I warmly recommend her services.

Wendy Ledger has been our transcriptionist through
much of the history of our organization. She has
provided fast, consistent, thoughtful work for us
over these years. It's been a pleasure to work with
her.— Zenobia Barlow, Executive Director, Center for Ecoliteracy
Wendy Ellen brings an intelligence to her work that
far exceeds the average transcriptionist. Her swift
turnaround and thorough attention to detail took the
pain out of getting this project on paper.— Amy Miller, Backbeat Books
Wendy Ellen Ledger is a marvel -- fast, accurate, and
completely dependable. For more than a decade, Wendy
Ellen has handled all manner of tasks for me with
speed, grace, and intelligence. There simply isn't
anyone better.— Fred Setterberg, writer and editor
Transcription is an art, and Wendy Ellen is an artist.
I have written three books and had astounding success.
Without Wendy Ellen's marvelous, efficient, sensible, and
intelligent assistance with my miles of tape, I don't
think I could have done any of these books. Any time
anyone I know needs transcription services in New York
City, I make sure they send their tapes to Wendy Ellen
in the Bay Area. She's the best.— Andrea Siegel, writer
