“Lara is a pleasure to work with. She always delivers transcripts on or before the deadline. She is extremely detail oriented, great at catching spelling, style, and grammatical errors, and is very aware of both my preferences and my preferred reference manual. She goes above and beyond in research. All of this has shown me that she cares as much about my final product as I do, and it has made her my first choice for proofreading.”

“Lara has proofread several of my transcripts for me, and I’ve been very impressed. Here’s what I love about working with Lara:

– She knows the “Bad Grammar / Good Punctuation” rules by Margie Wakeman-Wells.

– She is excellent at adhering to my personal preferences from my reporter preference sheet.

– She leaves clear annotations via PDF markup including references to rules and/or my own preference sheet.

– She’s thorough.

– She’s extremely pleasant to work with.

– She’s reliable.

“I’m the founder of Stenovate (Project Management Tool & Collaboration Platform for Transcript Professionals), and I can tell you that Lara is one of the best proofreaders I have found. I would absolutely recommend Lara to any reporters who are looking for a proofreader you can count on. You can feel confident with your transcript in her hands.”

“Lara is an exceptional proofreader! You can tell she’s proofreading for context, as well as grammatical/spellings errors. I’ve used her now on three different jobs and been very pleased with her work. I’m frequently impressed by some of the things she catches. She always meets my deadline requests, asks questions when she has them, and her attention to detail is superb.”

“I have had the pleasure working with Lara since June or July of 2023. She has the been the BIGGEST help in my career as a new reporter. Going into reporting after captioning, I knew I needed to get in touch with a proofer who had the patience for a brand new reporter. I am lucky to have found her.

“She has been an absolute JOY to work with and so much fun. I can honestly say I feel like I have gained a friend during our professional relationship. I always email her about jobs and make sure she can take them on before sending them to her. She is always honest about her workload and will tell me what she can and cannot take immediately so that I can hire the assistance of another scopist/proofer. Her email communication is top notch. I always get a separate email with the job I’ve sent out to her with the name, date sent, date due, estimated pages, and estimated cost. There are no hidden things in her invoicing, and it makes me aware of what to expect.

“From our proofing we ventured into scoping, and I can honestly say it’s been a literal life changer. She is thorough and includes Index pages, which makes things run so much smoother. She is ALWAYS on time with deadlines including if they’re a rush or there’s a sudden date change.

“I know I wrote a lot, but in short her work is fantastic, she’s a pleasure to work with and professional with inside jokes, and her reliability and deadlines are always met. Thanks, Lara!”

“I’ve worked with Lara a few times now and have been very pleased with the quality of her work. She responds promptly to emails and has returned every transcript before it’s due. I am grateful for that kind of peace of mind. For some corrections, Lara even notes which rule she’s applying, and I appreciate that extra information. I’m glad to have Lara on my team!”
