An experienced transcriptionist will also be capable of working with document amendments through cross referencing and dictations. They should also be happy to either create new templates for documents depending on your specific needs or work with your existing templates.
We strongly recommend that if you intend on using a transcription company on a regular basis, that you should be paired with your own transcriptionist or virtual assistant. The reason for this is that not only will you be able to build a good working relationship, but using the same secretary for all work will ensure consistency since they will become familiar with the way you like things done. This will help speed up work turnaround and prevent confusion when it comes to tasks such as reading handwritten notes, composing documents and doing any industry related research.
When selecting a transcription company, take time to ask questions; do they have transcriptionists with experience in your field? How fast can they turn your files around? Do they proofread their work? Are they happy to make amendments if needed? Take your time to thing about the service you want and ask if they can deliver.
