Services
NKL Secretarial Services offers a wide range of services in both English and French. All work is produced to client specifications and delivered with high standards of accuracy and presentation.
Finished documents can be supplied in hardcopy, floppy disc, CD or emailed as an attachment.
Copies of completed work are saved on CDs and kept for one year to enable me to make updates or amendments with ease, saving you time and money.
- Audio Typing / Transcription
I can transcribe all type of documents, such as reports, meetings, conferences, etc. using the following types of media:
- DSS - WAV - MP3 - WMA
DSS (Digital Speech Standard) files are highly compressed and much smaller than WAV files. For instance, a 1MB DSS file would contain about 16 minutes of dictation whereas this same file size in WAV format would give only about 2 minutes of dictation. DSS files are therefore easier to send as emailed attachments. - CD Rom - DVD - Floppy disk - Mini or micro cassette - Standard size audio tape
Files for transcription can be sent via e-mail or post and will be returned as per your instruction. - The quality of the tape
- The clarity of the speaker
- The regional accents of the speaker
- The speed at which the person speaks
- The number of the speakers
- The amount of technical terms used
The time taken to transcribe a tape depends upon: - DSS - WAV - MP3 - WMA
- Word Processing
From dissertations, general correspondence to reports, journals or complete procedure manuals, I can supply a professionally finished document on plain paper or using your own office stationery.
Curriculum Vitae
From handwritten or already typed CV, I can supply a professionally finished document, providing you with hard copies or saved onto a floppy disc, CD or emailed as an attachment. I can either retype your original CV with no changes or edit, reformat and update it to a high standard.
A cover letter can also be supplied straight from your handwritten original or can be reformatted and updated to meet a high standard. - Mailing Service
You need to send a mailing to existing or potential customers, let me create the mail merge, type the letter and post them for you. All you need to do is provide me with the addresses and the handwritten, recorded or typed letter. - PowerPoint Presentation

Checking proofs is a tedious but critical task. I can provide a straight proofreading service (spelling, punctuation, grammar and general English errors) and make amendments on hard copy or change documents, electronically flagging any changes, additions or deletions. I can also check against specifications for typesetting, query errors or inconsistencies in style and content, check for overall sense and clarity. - Internet Search
You do not have the time to surf the net; why not let me handle it. - Website Design and Maintenance
From basic website design to editing, revamping and maintenance for checking spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax, validity of links, etc...
