Your Transcript
and Email Back
the Corrected Pages
Corrected pages are sent back in PDF format with yellow and red markings.
If you prefer me to send back the entire transcript, please let me know.
What Kind of Corrections Do I Look For? I will carefully read your transcript and mark any corrections/notes using your own specifications and preferences, always keeping in mind that the goal is to make what was said as clear as possible without changing what was said. I will seek out errors including punctuation, spelling, capitalization, word usage, spacing, transposed words, and consistency/readability.
I reference popular guides such as 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯'𝘴 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘎𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨: 𝘉𝘢𝘥 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘳/𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘗𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 by Margie Wakeman Wells, Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, and 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘨𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦.

About Me
My name is Susan Gilissen.
I've always had a passion for reading and writing. In fact, I have a bachelor's degree in journalism. I received my professional training and certificate in transcript proofreading through ProofreadAnywhere.com, an intensive and thorough course with rigorous testing. I am experienced in proofreading patent cases, interpreted proceedings, and complex content including IT, medical malpractice, and construction-related cases.
My background consists of paying attention to details in fast-paced environments:
-
owning a small business where quality control and superior customer service was critical
-
legal administrative work for a high-powered law firm in Washington, D.C.
-
providing human resources, communications, and research work for various companies as well as an embassy
I have resided on both the east and west coasts, including Westchester County, NY; Washington, D.C.; and Oregon's Willamette Valley. I currently live in Connecticut.
