Pioneer Transcription Services is Now Offering Oral History Transcription Services
Oral history transcription services are not just for businesses and oral historians anymore. PTS is now offering this service to individuals who want to preserve their family stories.

PENN VALLEY, CA, February 12, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pioneer Transcription Services is now offering oral history transcription services to individuals who want to preserve the stories of their family members. The company has been transcribing oral histories for historians, authors and professional businesses for almost two decades. The focus on offering this service directly to individuals who want to preserve their families' stories came about when one of Pioneer's principal owners, Deborah Devitt, inherited a tape her parents had recorded many years ago with her grandmother. Unfortunately, the tape had deteriorated over time and there was never a transcript made. While the company created a digital audio file and transcribed the interview before further deterioration could occur, "I don't want others to lose the stories that are important to their families," Ms. Devitt states.

Digital recorders have become very reasonably priced, which allows more individuals to record their family members' stories. These digital audio files can be easily shared with other family members and will not deteriorate over time. Many people are setting up interviews with their relatives, using questions they've found on the internet or that they come up with on their own.

Pioneer Transcription Services realized there is a growing desire to have written transcripts of these interviews. "Our service is easy to use and accessible to everyone," states Ms. Devitt. "A direct link for upload is right on our website." Once uploaded clients just wait for their transcript to be returned to them. They are then free to share the transcript with other family members and friends or to use it in any way they deem appropriate.
