- Services
We provide proofreading services for edited and scoped, turn-in-ready drafts.
We are happy to provide technical proofreading at no additional fee.
For large jobs, over 200 pages, we do ask of you to send it over in 50-100 page chunks, as this will help to decrease the cost for our clients.
If we are unable to proofread a job for you, we will let you know as soon as possible.
- The Process
- After confirming availability with us, please send us your transcript in PDF format, along with the due date. (Questions on how to submit a PDF? Look below.)
- Fill out the Reporter’s Preference sheet (if you’re a new client) and submit it with the transcript.
- Annotations will be made using red text and yellow highlighting via iAnnotate or GoodNotes.
- On or before the deadline provided, we will return only the pages which have been annotated, unless you prefer otherwise.
- Turnaround times
Each job is assigned a priority level:
- Standard (3+ business days) $0.40/page
- Rush (1-2 business days) $0.60/page
- Expedited (12-24 hours) $0.80/page
- Immediate (<12 hours) $1.00/page
Turnaround times refer to business days, Monday-Friday. Weekends & holidays are not included in turnaround times. If you have a job that needs to be completed during a non-business day, please contact us to see if we can make special arrangements.
- New Clients
As a token of appreciation for testing the waters with Apex, we will deduct 20% from the total cost of your first job, up to 50 pages! (All remaining pages will be charged at the normal rate.)
Please note: We do not accept any amount of “test” pages to be completed free of charge.
- Loyalty Rewards
We appreciate your loyalty. To thank you, we will deduct $0.05/page (for a complete transcript) for every 5th job we proof for you, during a calendar month.
Word of mouth is the best referral! Refer Apex to another reporter and we will give you a 10% discount off of your next order, after your referral has paid their first invoice.
- Reporter's Pref Sheet
To best serve you, we need to know your preferences. If you would kindly fill out the Reporter’s Preference Sheet with your preferences, we would greatly appreciate it.
If you click here, the link will take you to a Google Form to select your preferences. Please be sure to include your name and email address, so we can match it up to your order.
- Add'l Info
Jobs sent over after 5pm EST will be considered as received for the next business day. Please keep this in mind for rush jobs.
Fees listed are for 25 lines per page. For pages with 26+ lines, there will be an additional fee of $0.03/page assessed. For pages with less than 5 lines, you will not be assessed a fee.
Please note: I reserve the right to charge an additional $0.10/page on “messy” transcripts. As a general guideline, I consider transcripts that have 75% or more pages that require corrections to be “messy”.
- Billing & Payment
New Clients: Billed upon completion. Due upon receipt.
Returning Clients: Invoices submitted on the 1st & 15th. Due within 15 days of receipt.
Late Fees: 3% fee, per 30 day period, compounded monthly, with initial charge being assessed on the 1st day the invoice is due.
Payment Options: Paypal, Zelle, CashApp, & Venmo.
