“I’ve been a client of Words Plus for several years and have lost count of how many times it’s saved my hide. This is an incredibly fast (and accurate) transcribing service… and has become even more indispensable since it went digital. I recently conducted an interview in Australia, uploaded the sound file to Words Plus’ web page from my laptop, and had the completed transcript in my email before my plane touched down back in L.A. Fabulous.”

“Dale Hoffer understands deadlines better than most journalists. She’s better at meeting them, too.”

“Dale is a fast woman – and that’s always a good thing. That she’s dependable and accurate is the icing on the transcriptional cake.”
David Wild
Contributing Editor
Rolling Stone
TV Writer/Biographer
“As I learned a good decade or two ago, when you’re coming away from an interview with a couple of hours of taped interview, and a deadline looming, the best strategy is to get the tapes into Dale’s hands. Sooner than you had dared to hope, you have the results in complete and accurate transcript form. She’s a true pro when you need one, every time.”
Fred Schruers

Premiere Magazine
“Dale was recommended to me by one of my West Coast Rolling Stone peers, and for good reason. She is professional, efficient, fast and a perfectionist. To put it mildly, she kept up and then some – and I needed nothing less working on Tommy Lee’s autobiography.”
Anthony Bozza
Former Rolling Stone Editor
Author of 'Whatever You Say I Am: The Life and Times of Eminem'
“Dale Hoffer has worked with us for many years…she is a total pro – fast and reliable and smart. I can fully recommend her.”

“After an interview with a movie star, Hollywood magazine writers head straight to Dale Hoffer’s to drop off their tapes: she’ not only the swiftest transcriber in town, she’s savvy and discreet.”
Nancy Griffin
Freelance Writer
“I have been the benefactor of Dale Hoffer’s fast fingers, faultless ears and friendly service for more than five years and cannot imagine using another transcriber. Not only has she saved me from committing suicide on deadline about 1,000 times, but her reliable work has made it easier for me to focus my time and energy on generating, reporting and writing stories. That ability to deliver more stories to my editors faster has been invaluable to my career and (not to get mushy about it) to the quality of my work. She’s also an absolute gem of a human being, funny, warm, and possessing the highest ethnical standards. She has transcribed sensitive and exclusive interviews for me without a word leaking out to other publications, and she’s never once dished about anyone else. How many people can you say that about in Hollywood? Dale Hoffer is perfect, period.
Sean Smith
Senior Writer
Newsweek Magazine
“Dale Hoffer may just be the eighth wonder of the world. She works quickly and accurately, and the results are always excellent. I have used her for two books, and for several other projects over the last few years, and I have often been astonished at her speed and her ability to hear words that might otherwise be lost. If you need transcription, there is no one better than Dale Hoffer: she is incredibly professional, unfailingly on time, and a nice woman to boot!”
