Recording Transcription
is simply the transcription of any recorded audio file that
may be in a digital format like mp3 or a non-digital format
like magnetic tapes etc. It separates itself from transcriptioning
paradigms that do not require the recording of spoken words
or events. For instance, real time educational transcription
does not fall under the category of recording transcription
as the transcriptionists are supposed to directly transcribe
what the lecturer is speaking. The transcription is rarely
verbatim but the meaning of the spoken word is preserved in
the transcript. Also, it excludes a large part of medical
transcription in the form of medical billing and coding which
again does not need any kind of recording.
However, Recording Transcription is still an extremely vast
area of transcriptioning. It covers under its span, most kinds
of transcriptions in the media, technical and business sectors.
Also, the Recording Transcription industry has gone through
incredible changes with the times. The magnetic tape recording
has given way to the more efficient digital format. The idea
of sending the tapes manually to the transcription center
has become obsolete now. Outsourced Transcription services
can receive your audio files from locations that are thousands
of miles away, through the internet. The transcript will also
be sent back through the information superhighway. In fact,
there are no tapes so to speak, only files are being transferred.
From the long gone times of VHS and audio cassettes to the
present era of digital formats, we have been witnesses as
well as participants of the history of Recording Transcription.
We are a general transcription company that has become a sort
of a household name in the circles of the transcription industry
today. From being an onsite transcription company we have
evolved to become an outsourced one. From being a basic transcription
company for company back offices, we have forayed into newer
areas of transcription and tried to acquire the first mover
advantage. At the same time, our formidable experience in
this field gives us the edge in fulfilling all your recording
transcription requirements. Our outsourcing mechanism of transcription
generation is a well thought out strategy in keeping with
the present times. We recognize the pressures on companies,
institutes as well as individuals to cut costs. This is especially
true for a non core activity like transcription. Most companies
who go for external transcription companies do so to do away
with the need to hire in house transcriptionists as well as
the added expenditure on associated infrastructure. So the
bare fact for us was that the client is looking for cost benefits
without decrease in quality standards. Hence, we adopted outsourcing
to capitalize on the tremendous cost savings that this model
throws up. Quality issues with outsourcing were hardly a matter
of concern as our Indian arm recruits only the best transcriptionists
for its operations. Secondly, the fact that we have umpteen
number of clients, some of whom have come to us after paying
5 times as much as they pay to us, makes it evident that we
are indeed meeting their expectations on accuracy of transcription
and other quality parameters. We have been able to establish
lifelong relationship with them thanks to the trust they have
bestowed upon us.
Speed of delivery is another area we knew our clients are
particular upon. So, we are one of the few companies to come
up with the elegant segregation of transcription work that
has tight TAT requirements from the others. On choosing Rush
TAT scheme, interested clients are charged a nominally higher
rate for guaranteed delivery of transcripts within 12 to 24
hours. Others are charged the normal amount with a guaranteed
delivery time of 24 to 48 hours for the Standard TAT scheme.
Data security is as important a matter to us as it is to the
client. We have put in place stringent data security barricades
so that there is absolutely no way in which your data is exposed
to malignant tendencies. We have implemented the toughest
data security measures which follow from the guidelines of
the HL7 EHR
Security and Privacy Issues and JCAHO.
