Adjusters Asia now offers offshore overseas transcription services - on a secure server - by professional legal and medical transcription companies located in India and the Philippines. The following are some of the more frequently asked questions (FAQs) about this service, including dictation file formats, medical transcriptionists, and the overseas - offshore - medical and legal transcription companies in the Philippines and India contracted by our company in Los Angeles (LA), California. How much does it cost? Currently, the cost of full-time offshore (overseas) legal and medical transcription, that is, a dictation volume equal to the workload of one full-time transcriptionist, averages approximately US-$600.00 per month. More precisely, the billing method is based on a 65-character line - including spaces - with each line billed at US-$.06 (6 cents). At US-$600.00 per month, this would equate to 10,000 lines (650,000 characters) of transcribed data per month, or 500 lines (32,500 characters) per day based on a 20-day work month. Do the math yourself. Count the number of transcribed lines (65 characters) of dictation completed daily by your transcriptionists, and then multiply this figure by 6 cents. What are the advantages of offshore medical and legal transcription?
What are the disadvantages of overseas legal and medical transcription?
Below are a number of useful links. What about privacy and confidentiality? Offshore - overseas - medical or legal transcription files are treated with the highest level of privacy and confidentiality by our transcriptionists, and can be sent for transcribing only by uploading the files on our secure server - a service provided by our parent company in Los Angeles (LA, California. Once transcribed, the materials are returned to the sender by way of that individual's user account located also on our server. In short, recorded media can be sent and received only through our high-speed, secure server in order to maintain the highest level of privacy, confidentiality - and security. What does Adjusters Asia get out of this? Adjusters Asia and its parent company, 1 Adjuster Inc. of Los Angeles (LA), California, receives US-$.01 (1 cent) for each line dictation billed. In exchange for this, our firm
How long does it take? Twenty-four hours - or less. For example, recorded materials uploaded by 9:00 a.m. to our transcriptionists in India or the Philippines are returned to the sender - fully transcribed - by 9:00 a.m. the next business day - a 24 -hour turnaround. Faster turnarounds - 12 hours or less - can be arranged with a modest increase in price. What formats are available? A variety of word-processing formats, including Microsoft Word and Corel WordPerfect, are available. Simply specify your preference when arranging a free trial here at Adjusters Asia. Can filess be returned on floppy disk, CD-ROM or in hard copy? No. To maintain the highest level of security and reliability - as well as delivery speed - transcribed materials are available only by downloading these on our high-speed, secure server - a service offered by our parent company, 1 Adjuster Inc., of Los Angeles (LA), California. Once downloaded, transcript materials - legal or medical - can then be printed and/or transferred to floppy disk or CD-ROM by your own staff. Feel free to contact us if you are unfamiliar in writing (transferring, burning) data to CD recordable media. What about accuracy, you know, like spelling and stuff? Accuracy (spelling and stuff) is largely dependent on the quality of the voice recording (dictation) - and the manner in which you speak. Each of the offshore legal and medical transcription companies contracted by our firm assigns one proofreader to every 3 transcriptionists. This provides for a very high level of accuracy - even in the case of poor sound (voice) recordings. Mumblers and drifters, however, will continue to score low on the accuracy scale. I'm smart, but what about that grammar stuff? Sorry. All voice recordings (dictation) are transcribed exactly as dictated. To ensure the highest level of quality, the grammar stuff should be included in your recordings (dictation). In what format should my files (voice recordings) be saved? Recordings (dictation) uploaded for processing must be in either DSS or MP3 format. Do not upload waveform files (standard Windows sound files) as these are far too large. Refer to our Help Section - File Formats - for more information on this point, as well as complete tutorials for converting waveform (.wav) files to MP3 (.mp3) format. How do I arrange a free trial? To arrange a free trial you must create a user account (free service) on the secure server maintained by our parent company, 1 Adjuster Inc. of Los Angeles (LA), California. Once created, simply send us an e-mail quoting your username and your desire for a free trial. Detailed instructions will then be uploaded to your account. The free trial was great. What's next? To get started, you must create an opening balance (deposit) with our parent company, 1 Adjuster Inc. of Los Angeles, California, in that legal and medical transcription work - undertaken in India or the Philippines by qualified transcriptionists - is performed only when the necessary funds are present in your account to cover the cost of each day's work. Each time the work is performed, your account is updated to reflect the billed charges, as well as your current account balance. What does Adjusters Asia recommend? Go slowly. Start with one offshore - overseas - legal or medical transcriptionist before adopting the service (dictation transcribing) as a company-wide policy. |
