About us

Purple Giraffe was established in 2008 in New Zealand by Trina Farmilo as an “online secretary” service.  We’re located in rural Waikato, with the view from our office being the beautiful Kaimai Ranges and we have the company of Mobie, our funky and sassy office manager dog!

One of our superpowers is our committed team of subcontractors whose support and collective knowledge and experience further enable us to turn our minds to anything.

We have extensive experience in transcribing employment investigations, legal transcription and medical transcription audio files (audio transcription) from New Zealand and overseas.

• Having your digital dictation completed off-site on an “on demand” basis is cost effective and there is no requirement from you to commit to providing a quantity of work to us.
• Purple Giraffe can either be your regular go-to transcription service or we can complete your transcription needs when staff are absent or where there is an overflow of work.
• For English speaking clients abroad, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere, there is the opportunity to take advantage of the different time zones as your transcripts are completed overnight.  The completed transcript will be either in your inbox or uploaded to a site of your choice within the timeframe agreed.

Contact us to find out about our audio transcription services of your employment investigation, legal transcription, medical transcription services and general secretarial services for your digital dictation.
