Why it matters in South Dakota
Transcription for a South Dakota business has to work in the context of Sioux Falls healthcare and finance, Black Hills tourism, agriculture, and college towns. Around Aberdeen and northeast cities including Aberdeen, customers also come from other parts of the state, like a packed summer week in the Black Hills or harvest season in the east. LocalHank delivers the work online, and a real person reviews every order.
Who orders this around South Dakota:
- A college-town cafe that wants captions or a record without typing it all
- A clinic in Rapid City that recorded a meeting and needs notes
- A South Dakota owner turning a talk or podcast into text
Hank's tip: A simple lavalier or a quiet room will beat a phone at the end of a long table. Send the best file you have, not a second-generation recording.
Service area: South Dakota businesses around Aberdeen and college towns such as Brookings. All work is delivered online, so there is no office visit.
