What makes NYC Transcription different from other transcription services?
All of our transcriptionists are native English-speakers, which means the transcripts flow in a smooth manner with appropriate words in the right context. We also train our staff in correct industry jargon to meet the needs of a diverse array of corporate, academic, legal, not-for-profit, and individual clients. Our in-house technical staff troubleshoot and resolve a wide range of audio and video problems which affect on-time and on-budget deliverables.
How do your prices compare to other transcription services?
We believe in making transcription affordable and charging by the audio minute. Therefore, we keep our prices low while ensuring high levels of accuracy and timeliness.
How accurate are you?
Our company guarantees a 99% or higher with broadcast quality transcripts. In order to keep up a high accuracy rate, we maintain strict quality control procedures and will coach you in proper recording techniques.
Why does it matter whether I use U.S. based transcriptionists?
Our transcripts are all native English speaking transcriptionists who are highly experienced and educated. Many transcription services outsource to India and other parts of the globe, which can significantly reduce transcript accuracy due to language and cultural barriers.
