Proficient Dictation Transcription

Dictation transcription is typing professional dictation into finished documents - letters, reports, notes and case files. The work is produced by people and not by software, and what shapes it here is audio, video and document material in almost any format, including legacy media, so the deliverable fits how you actually work instead of a generic template. Every file is checked by a second reviewer before it is sent.

Yes. Dictation transcription is available in 100+ languages, with every file going to a native speaker of the target language and a reviewer who also reads it. Older recordings often mix languages, and each one is kept as it was spoken instead of flattened into one. Where a language is rare, availability is checked before the quote.

Three steps: send the material, approve the quote, receive the finished work by email. Nothing starts before you approve the price, and revisions are free for 30 days after delivery. Say what the material is stored on, because an older format changes what has to happen before anyone starts work. Say what the dictation transcription is for when you send it, because a filing, a publication and an internal record are formatted differently.

All of the usual methods are accepted: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Square, wire transfer and checks. Businesses can be invoiced monthly against a purchase order, and everyone else pays on approving the quote. Dictation transcription is billed on completion against the approved quote, with no deposit taken up front. Archives, broadcasters and institutions sending media in batches are invoiced monthly instead of item by item.

Send it back and it is fixed at no cost: revisions are free for 30 days after delivery. Corrections on dictation transcription are usually about house style and not mistakes, and once yours is set it is applied to every later order. Where a name on an old recording turns out to be wrong, the fix is applied across the whole batch. Where a preference differs from ours, yours is applied and not argued over.

General transcription starts at $1 per audio minute and legal transcription at $2. Dictation transcription is quoted from the material you send, so a short job and a long one are worked out the same way. The source format makes no difference to the rate; digitising legacy media appears as its own line in the quote. Quotes are calculated from how long the recording runs, how clear the audio is and how many people are speaking, so two clients sending comparable material pay the same, and nothing begins until you approve the written total.

The delivery date is agreed before work starts, and rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours covers anything urgent. Material sent at the end of your working day is in progress overnight. Dictation transcription is scheduled against the people who actually do this work, not against a general pool.

The 99+% accuracy standard applies to every file, and it holds because each transcript is produced by a person and then checked against the source by a second reviewer. Degraded tape and low-bitrate audio go to people used to that loss, not to software that fills the gaps with guesses. What gets checked on dictation transcription is the detail a reader would otherwise have to verify themselves: names, figures, terms and anything the source left ambiguous. Anything genuinely unclear is flagged for you, never guessed at.

It is handled by restricting access, not by promising discretion. Dictation transcription often involves material people would not want circulated, so the file is closed to everyone except the pair working on it. Archive material is often the only copy in existence, so originals are logged, restricted and returned. Everyone on the job is under NDA, transfer is encrypted, and your own confidentiality agreement is signed before work starts if you have one.

Word, PDF, Excel, Google Docs or plain text. The format for dictation transcription is agreed at order stage, so the first delivery is the one you can file, send on or publish. Your house template can be applied from the first order, which is what keeps a set of documents looking like one set.
