Why it matters in Minnesota

Transcription for a Minnesota business has to work in the context of Twin Cities corporate and neighborhood commerce, Rochester healthcare, and lake-country tourism. Around Rochester and Rochester and southeastern Minnesota, customers also come from other parts of the state, like a State Fair week or a hard January stretch. LocalHank delivers the work online, and a real person reviews every order.

Who orders this around Minnesota:

  • A lakeside cabin business that wants captions or a record without typing it all
  • A clinic in Bloomington that recorded a meeting and needs notes
  • A Minnesota owner turning a talk or podcast into text

Hank's tip: A simple lavalier or a quiet room will beat a phone at the end of a long table. Send the best file you have, not a second-generation recording.

Service area: Minnesota businesses around Rochester and Minneapolis. All work is delivered online, so there is no office visit.

Transcription in Minnesota: FAQ

What if the audio is poor?

We will do our best and mark unclear sections. If it is not usable, we will say so rather than guess whole sentences.

Do you serve Rochester and outstate Minnesota too?

Yes. Tell us the cities you cover.

Can a lakeside cabin business in Rochester order this?

Yes. A lakeside cabin business is a good fit for the transcription package. Order online, send the items on the intake list, and the finished work comes back by email. No in-person meeting is needed.

Do you also serve customers in Minneapolis?

Yes, if that is part of how your Minnesota business actually works. Tell us in the intake, and we can name Minneapolis where it belongs. We will not add places you do not serve.
