Transcription service providers produce typed transcriptions from audio recordings of meetings, interviews, hearings, and most other occasions. Generally, providers bill per-audio-minute and can often complete work in 24 hours or less. Transcription service providers typically guarantee a level of confidentiality, and in some cases offer HIPAA-compliant solutions. Providers often employ transcriptionists with wide-ranging backgrounds, including those with court and medical experience. Businesses that require transcripts of meetings or other occasions can benefit from working with transcription service providers. A number of providers offer translation solutions or interpretation solutions, in addition to transcription services.
