Outsourcing Transcription Services Will Save You Time and Money

The benefits of outsourcing are well documented across many industries. Outsourcing has become the hot, creative solution that is helping more and more professionals do more with less, especially where transcription is concerned. It saves money, time and resources if transcription services are outsourced.

While personally working for a large corporation, I was managing our growing transcription needs.

I was finding it difficult to utilize our staff for the tasks, because we had so much else to do in our busy office.

There were transcribing services available... but I could not believe how much they charged.

Finally, I decided put together a network of carefully screened transcriptionists that today deliver perfect work at huge savings to businesses in Australia, New Zealand and beyond. In the end I ended up saving my company thousands of dollars per month.

You can count on outsourcing transcription services because of the processes put in place to test the audio quality of all files... double check proofing of all projects... and strategic placement of transcriptionists in many time zones.

A simple search for terms like 'transcription service' or 'transcriptionist' on Google, Twitter or Facebook will throw up several pages worth of information.

But how do you decide which is the right service for you? What questions should you ask? What instructions should you provide? How do you decide what you need?

The answer is do research and ask questions.

You have to be overly careful when hiring a transcription outsource company. Make sure they do not outsource your work to low paid and low quality providers in non-English speaking countries. The last thing you want is to receive your transcript to find it full of errors, which in turn means you have to re-do the whole transcript again. It will ultimately cost you time and money, as well as you organisation.

The types of transcription services generally provided are:

• Medical transcription

• Typing services

• Digital dictation

• Legal transcription

• Audio transcription

• Online transcription

• All transcription services

Remember one of the easiest ways to shorten the accounts receivable cycle is to streamline your transcription process. If you manage your own transcription, you are managing people, technology, turnaround time, and all the possible variables that come with it. By outsourcing your transcription, you are simplifying workflow. A process that was so complicated can easily be turnaround to something so easy to maintain.

IT will allow your company to meet 24, 12, 6, or 3 hour turnaround times with your transcriptions but remember there are real cost savings involved.
