Why Stick with One Transcription Service

Transcription services are gaining popularity every day. You must encounter many different companies providing these services in your company or abroad. They all have one offering: converting audio or video speech into print. These services are required mostly in the fields of medicine, law and business.

Now there’s a twist here. You may belong to one field but still have different requirements. Let’s take the example of the field of medicine. If you happen to be working for a health institute and a part of your job description is the maintenance of your patient records, then surely getting the transcription of these documents done is one of your jobs.

At the same time, your institute might have some litigation work too. All institutes have a legal department and they too, need their meetings, court hearings, etc. transcribed. If you happen to be carrying out an important meeting, some research project involving focus groups or trials, or an important conference or seminar, you might want all these events recorded too for future use.

The same motive applies for having employees in your institute who may be hearing impaired. They will require assistance in going through records, and audio and video might not always help them.

It is important that you have one company doing all your work irrespective of the nature of transcription simply because it is easier logistically and also for management and communication purposes. It is much easier to communicate and streamline work with one company and getting them accustomed to your style of work, rather than having to work on the same aspect with multiple companies.

Choosing a transcription service company, especially in the medical transcription area, is very tough. You need to have the right kind of transcribers to do your job. Speed, accuracy, confidentiality and a good turnaround time are required in almost all fields. So why put yourself through the hassle of working with multiple ones? There are many companies out there who provide all kinds of transcription services: media transcription, medical transcription, legal transcription, etc. Just pick one based on their reputation, strength in one field and confidentiality measures. You can then work with them to improve their services in other fields. This will help you save time, effort and money.
