The Audio Typing Service

Our history...

We started way back in 1996, under the name "AP Associates", and provided a complete virtual secretarial service. However, when, in 1998, the London School of Economics first hired us to transcribe their events and conferences, we had found a niche.

We realised we were getting a lot of interest and work from university research departments to complete interviews and focus groups, especially as we had an ear for accents and would often be able to complete recordings that others had considered "difficult".

In 2003, we decided to specialise and changed the name to "APA Secretarial". Over the years the number of clients has continued to grow and we have been hired by many different companies, university departments and individual researchers.

In 2014 we decided change the name again to fully reflect that audio typing is what we specialise in, so we became "The Audio Typing Service".
