Welcome to sound words

Marian has proof read a large number of publications for the IPA, from AdLaw – a 400 page tome dedicated to advertising and law regulation – through to complex studies on media measurement and accountability. Marian is meticulous with her proofing and nothing gets past her. She has also been able to transcribe recordings for us at very short notice which has been invaluable. We thoroughly enjoy working with her.

Marian is a delight to work with. She is confident yet approachable and delivers a great service with the minimum of fuss. Her ability to adapt to our requirements is also exemplary, as well as her cool and calm demeanour under pressure during broadcast. Marian understands what is required quickly and delivers what she promises. Highly recommended.

The editing service offered by Sound Words was invaluable in enabling me to finish my PhD thesis. Not only are Marian's technical editing skills spot on, her in-depth knowledge of the arts and humanities was hugely beneficial when it came to suggesting suitable changes and possible avenues of discussion. In short, Sound Words offers a top-notch service to the frazzled academic. Thank you for all your help and advice – I genuinely couldn't have done it without you!

Marian at Sound Words has been an invaluable help. She has transcribed a large amount of audio data for me as part of my PhD study in a short space of time. She was professional and great to work with as well as providing excellent value for money.
