​
At OutSec Legal, we are aware of the pressures placed on legal professionals and their firms to provide rapid and efficient responses to their clients.
Our proofreadings and legal document production and editing services are designed with those needs in mind.
What is Proofreading?
Proofreading is the process of finding and correcting mistakes in text before it is printed.
​
At OutSec Legal our proofreaders evaluate and correct grammar, punctuation, formatting, spacing, spelling, omitted and repeated words as well as typographical errors. This is useful for firms that need to ensure accuracy and consistency in written documents and communications with clients and other parties.
​
Law firms often use our service when they need to ensure that two documents (an original and a newly typed document) are identical.
Here it saves two members of their staff being occupied in the checking process, thereby reducing costs and enabling fee-earning staff to income generate.
Who Processes our Proof Reading Work?
All our proofreaders understand all legal terminology including commonly used Latin terms. This makes our proofreading team one of the best in the industry. All of our proofreaders in our legal document production team have signed strict confidentiality agreements.
​
OutSec's Legal document production team is made up of proofreaders who have worked in the legal sector for at least 10 years or more.
All members of OutSec Legal's document production team have been handpicked for their knowledge and proofreading skills and expertise. In addition, our legal document production team and proofreaders are Microsoft Word experts meaning they have advanced word processing skills including indexing, tables, footnotes and automatic numbering to name a few.
​
Many of OutSec Legal's proofreaders and legal document production specialists have CILEX qualifications or Legal secretarial qualifications, making them one of the best in the industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
At OutSec Legal, we are always happy to answer any questions you may have.
That is why we have put together a searchable set of frequently asked questions just for you:
-
Would using speech-to-text software not be quicker?Unfortunately, speech-to-text software still struggles with accuracy. There are also concerns regarding the security of recordings and the processing of these. You may recall the article in the Guardian about Apple where we learned that: "Apple contractors regularly hear confidential medical information". And it wasn't just Apple: Google "admitted that contractors can access recordings made by Assistant, after some of its recordings were leaked". Here at OutSec Legal, we have developed our own app for you to record and upload your audio transcription files securely and easily to us. Our professional legal transcriptionists will provide you with a more accurate transcription than you could obtain via speech-to-text software and they are covered by our confidentiality contracts. So with OutSec, you know who is processing your data and that it will be safe.

Why is OutSec Legal the leading UK legal transcription company in the industry?OutSec Legal has been designed from the ground up to provide services which law firms, barristers' chambers and other legal practices want and need. OutSec Legal only transcribe legal digital dictation audio and video files to offer our unique set of services. These include legal transcription (single voice or multi voice) as well as legal document production, formatting and editing services. OutSec Legal only transcribe files from legal practices, they do not transcribe files from other sectors. This makes our offering unique from other transcription companies in the market, where work is farmed out randomly to huge banks of typists (none of which have ever worked in the legal sector). ​ At OutSec we believe in having dedicated legal typists, transcriptionists and secretaries. Consequently, for each fee earner, we would allocate two experienced legal typists, transcriptionists or secretaries to carry out their work. All our transcriptionists have at least 10 years of experience in the legal sector. This allows your dedicated legal transcriptionists to build a bond, in the same way as an in-house secretary would. ​ Our legal transcriptionist team and our legal document production, formatting and editing team know exactly how legal documents should be laid out. This is because most have CILEX or legal secretarial qualifications in addition to their experience meaning they are the best in the industry. Our passion for excellence and an eye for detail, alongside financial investment in the very latest technology, ensure OutSec Legal provide a first-class service with data security and confidentiality at the forefront. Our close working relationship with our clients ensures that the OutSec Legal experience is one of excellence and a natural extension of your existing office.
