Solicitors,

I get the below feedback from pretty much all of my Solicitor clients when they started outsourcing their typing requirements to Virtual Office Solutions (VOS.ie):

Outsourced Typing – Feedback From Our Clients (Solicitors and Barristers)

1. WHY didn’t we do this before?
2. You have transformed how my office works.
3. I can’t believe how simple it is.
4. The turnaround time is fantastic!
5. Excellent accuracy and formatting – editing couldn’t be simpler.
6. Sometimes I would have to wait more than a week to get a letter or report back from the typing pool, now I have it in less than a day!
7. Being able to use an App on my phone as well as our hand held devices is brilliant, especially when I’m on the go.
8. Outsourcing our letters, memos, attendances, reports and other straight forward typing and pleadings, etc. has freed up our in-house staff to deal with more pressing/urgent work, or work that involves a lot of research and follow up that can only be done on-site with the files and paperwork necessary/to hand.
9. Your service has made us so much more efficient – we are turning over work more quickly and as a result increasing our billables and getting us paid more quickly.
10. Knowing we have extra cover when we need it during staff holidays, sick leaves or just busy periods is a huge comfort.
11. The fact that you are GDPR compliant and we have Confidentiality Agreements in place bolstered my confidence in using the service.
12. I was worried how work would be returned as we have a Case Management System, but the way you return it one email per case file with the file reference in both the subject line and the file name makes it seamless.
13. I love that you are Irish based and keep all your work securely in Ireland and only use professionals with years of legal experience.
14. Love the fully itemised month end invoices – it makes it so easy to see what’s been done and the costs involved.
15. You’re a pleasure to work with!

If you’ve been sitting on the fence about outsourcing your typing, or you’re stressed because there’s just not enough hours in the day, or perhaps you need an extra pair of hands but just can’t afford a full time employee ‘just yet’, then please contact us today on [email protected] or directly on 086-2848228.

With almost 29 years of experience in the Legal, Building, Financial, Interview Transcription and Medico-Legal Report Sectors, I know what makes our clients happy, and what keeps them happy – that’s confidentiality, accuracy, efficiency, expertise and excellent value for money. This is the reason clients come to us, but more importantly - stay with us for years. I think that’s the real sign of success. We’re a small boutique company with a tight-knit team who work brilliantly together - and that means that you get a very personalised experience with excellent communication.

I’ll be happy to answer all your questions, explain how the service works – and you can even give us a ‘no obligation trial’ to see how it might work for you.

What are you waiting for? Contact us today!

We’re ready to get started if you are.

I look forward to hearing from you.

We are looking for an experienced typist to add to our team. If interested please message me directly on [email protected]. This is to cover our building sector, so experience in this area is a definite advantage. Minimum typing speeds of 80wpm is a requirement. This is a sub-contract, work from home role, and is part time with flexibility on what hours are worked each day.

Hi Everyone,

My creative bubble floated to the surface during the first lock downs from March to December 2020 and I wrote many poems and Haiku during this time in particular. Last November I proudly published my first book of poetry entitled "The 2020 Poetry Effect". It's available to purchase on Amazon in paperback or kindle now. If anyone would like to enjoy some of my Haiku, you can find them on Instagram on my page .

Always remember to Enjoy the Journey!

The 2020 Poetry Effect: A thought-provoking collection of poetry written during the period April to December 2020 when a global pandemic gave fuel to a creative flame eBook : McCullough, Bernie M.: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

Hi All,

During current events, as we all undertake to do our bit in flattening the curve of the Coronavirus outbreak, I am aware that many people who heretofore were office based workers, are now making the move to work remotely from home for the first time.

Here at Virtual Office Solutions we are incredibly lucky that this is how myself and all my typists have always worked, and so I wish to re-assure everyone that we are open for business as usual and here to help everyone in whatever way we can.

Several clients have been asking me to suggest good mobile phone Apps that they could use for remote home working, and to this end, I am pleased to list below a few choices that my clients use that work very well, have a very good quality sound output and we have been happily working with for many months, if not years in the case of the Olympus App.

VOICE RECORDER APPS FOR YOUR PHONE

1. Otter Voice Meeting Notes (Free)

Apple Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/otter-voice-meeting-notes/id1276437113
Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aisense.otter&hl=en_IE

2. ASR Voice Recorder (Free)

Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.asr

I am currently not sure if this app is available on iPhone/Apple store.

3. Olympus Digital Voice Recorder App (Paid)
(Used to be free, has now moved to a fee-based service)

Apple Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/olympus-dictation-for-iphone/id695465151
Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.olympus.dmmobile&hl=en_IE

Perhaps some of your colleagues/fellow business professionals in the same industry are struggling at home and would like to consider the possibility of using our service to help them through the next couple of months. If you think this might be the case, we would be delighted if you would recommend our transcription services here at Virtual Office Solutions (VOS). Even forward them this post perhaps? If they get in touch, we will happily forward them more detailed information about the service and our rates.

DON’T HAVE A DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER?

1. No problem, we can provide you with that also.
2. We can order your new voice recorder today and have it couriered to your door within 1-3 working days (but would just need to verify delivery date at time of order, which will be based on our supplier’s stock levels).

Please contact us for pricing if you are interested in purchasing the Olympus Digital Voice Recorder DS-2500, or the AS2400 Transcription Kit (software, headphones).

If you have any queries at all in relation to any of the above, or would like to discuss anything further please do not hesitate to contact me.

We are acutely aware that some of our clients will be experiencing huge stress, drops in workloads and challenges that have never been faced before. I hope everyone is keeping safe and well and that in helping each other as best we can, we will all come out the other side of this with our families healthy and businesses still intact.

Stay safe everyone, let’s stay home where we can, wash our hands regularly, practice social distancing, and get through this together!

Kind regards,

Bernie
