Minute-taking:
Minutes of meetings are the official representation or summary of what transpired during a meeting. They are approved by board members and written up by a designated person – the minute taker – freeing up other people to pay attention and listen to the meeting. Traditionally they were done by a person present at the meeting but nowadays they can be done virtually by a person listening to a recording. Providing professional and efficient minutes is representative of your business and is still an important function. It takes a trained, literate person to get it right.

We have provided minutes for associations including homeowners associations, private companies, residents’ associations NGOs and more, for meetings including:
o Board meetings
o Special general meetings
o Committee meetings

We can attend in person in Johannesburg and surrounds and make special arrangements for other areas, or we can assist virtually.

Because of continued advances in AI software, clients may increasingly believe that and copy-editing are one automated service.
But: While this might be acceptable in informal settings, automatic “cleanup” can also alter evidence in , legal or research documents where verbatim matters.
That’s why ours is human-verified transcription, with explicit choices between verbatim, intelligent verbatim and polished clean-read output
There’s a huge emphasis on human review, -aware handling, and specialist research or legal work.
We prioritise confidentiality, are extremely experienced in South African accents, do human verification and have worked with many specialist documents including hearings, extempore judgements, notices of motion and founding affidavits.
