OutScribe enjoys good relationships with our clients and we’ve been providing transcription services to many of them for nigh on a decade.  Why do clients stick around?

For nearly a year OutScribe has been under the Australian Tax Office's microscope, not because of our tax commitments (which are paid on time, every time) but because of our business model.

A high quality audio transcription service can help you accomplish a lot in terms of marketing if you feature videos on your website or in your campaigns.

Video content on your website and in your campaigns is obviously a great idea in terms of marketing and boosting online engagement. The inclusion of video on a landing page increases conversions by 80 percent, a 2016 Hubspot report suggests. In addition, after watching a video, 64 percent of people are more likely to make an online purchase.

Having video is great but there’s one more thing you can do to increase the effectiveness of your campaign. An audio transcription accompanying your clips can help you accomplish a number of goals; improving the positioning of your content and maximising its reach.

Today, the latest variation of ransomware named Petya has hit hard. It's a modified version of the WannaCry / WannaCrypt exploit (compliments of the NSA) except this time the criminals have corrected previous weak points making the situation even more dire.

Sadly ransomware is an evil reality that’s here to stay. These malware viruses are even more insidious than phishing scams since it leaves your system crippled and without access to your own documents.  So here's what you should be doing to protect yourself.
