MEETING MINUTES

Minutes have a variety of jobs to do.

• A written summary of the key points discussed and agreed.
• Summary meticulously taken as they are destined to be used as a precise record of events.
• A registrer of the meeting “word for word” as a perfect transcript – possibly to be used as a legal record of events.

Whatever your minute taking requirements, Babilon Language Coaching can provide a reliable and professional writer to produce the right document format.

Why opt for a professional minute taker?

• To obtain accurate, cover the appropriate level of detail and be available quickly.
• Babilon minute takers are demonstrably impartial. Moreover, they adhere to strict confidentiality rules.
• Turnaround time is significantly quicker than most in-house minute takers with other job responsibilities.

SUMMARY WRITING

Is a word for word transcription the best choice for your needs? For some clients, a concise summary is much more effective. We can encapsulate the key points of long discussions into as little as two pages per hour of meeting, so you can ensure maximum efficiency for your readers.

Why choose a summary?

• Summaries are the most efficient way to capture the content of a meeting.

• They get right to the heart of the speaker’s message.

• Given their reduced length, they are far easier to read and can be acted upon quickly.

• Summaries can be an excellent choice for concise meeting minutes.

• Unlike a stenographer, your Babilon Language Coaching summary writer can objectively edit information.

• Documents fit their precise objectives.

• Summaries are tailored to reflect the information you simply have to have.

We provide a full range of summaries and minute taking services as well as transcription. We will of course advice on the most appropriate level of detail to suit your requirements: just contact us.

Your choice for summaries

Standard Summary
6 pages per hour of meeting. 

The Standard Summary uses rewriting and the selection of primary information over secondary information to achieve its page yield.

Brief Summary
4 pages per hour of meeting

Only the information that goes to the heart of the speaker’s message is retained. We discuss with the client beforehand what issues and themes are most important so that these can be brought out in the document.

Executive Summary
2 pages per hour of meeting.

This is an enhanced outline of the meeting, perhaps closest to what is traditionally known as ‘minutes.’ This type of report is normally guided by the interests of the client to include certain information.

Thematic Summary

We assist clients who order multiple documents by drawing the major themes across the whole range of reports into one thematic summary – to the length you specify. Government bodies also use this service to help them analyze and interpret findings drawn from public consultations.

UNIQUE REAL-TIME SUMMARY

We believe transcriptions and summaries are most meaningful when they are issued quickly. At Babilon Language Coaching, the whole process of transcribing, proofing and editing transcripts is routinely completed to meet demanding deadlines. But there are inevitably times when you have to have a same day service. That is why we were the first to introduce a real-time service that also meets our usual stringent standards.
