How to write a clear task brief for business support
Turn a request such as “sort out the documents” into a task someone can act on. Use a compact brief, a worked example and a final check for missing decisions.

Audio typing and transcription
Audio typing and transcription with Anna Vickers, a qualified audio typist and transcription expert, working remotely across the UK.
Discuss a recording
Support around the work.
Turn spoken information into a document you can read, review and work with. Anna provides audio typing and transcription from supplied recordings, with the output shaped around your requirements. Before work begins, we discuss the recording length and quality, the number of speakers, the document format and your preferred timing. The scope, fee and information-handling arrangements are agreed before any files are shared.
How working together startsWhat could you hand over?
- Audio typing from supplied dictation
- Transcription of supplied recordings
- Preparing an agreed document layout and formatting
- Speaker labels or time references where agreed in the brief
- Flagging unclear passages for your review
A useful first step.
Tell Anna the approximate recording length, number of speakers, document format and date you are working towards. Keep the first enquiry to an outline; file transfer and any necessary access are agreed separately.
Discuss your supportFrom spoken words to a document you can use.
Audio typing turns supplied dictation into typed text. Transcription captures the words in a recording in an agreed written format. The starting point is the document you need at the end.
Tell Anna whether you need speaker labels, time references or a particular layout so those requirements can be scoped before work begins. If a passage is unclear, the approach to flagging it for review is agreed rather than filling the gap with an assumption.
Recording quality, length and the number of voices can affect the work involved. A preferred deadline is discussed alongside the recording and required output; turnaround and fees are confirmed as part of the scope.
What to include in your enquiry.
- The approximate length and type of recording.
- The number of speakers and any known sound-quality issues.
- The document format, layout and level of detail you need.
- Any speaker labels or time references you would like to discuss.
- The date you are working towards and any relevant context.
Start with an outline.
Please do not send recordings or confidential documents with your first enquiry. How files will be shared, who can access them and how they will be handled are agreed separately before work starts.
