Transcription Etc.

What Transcription Etc. does

Transcription, Etc., LLC is a privately held, Washington, DC–based transcription services agency operating since 1999 across four verticals: medical/healthcare, legal/law enforcement, business/industry, and government. The firm serves group practices, clinics, hospitals, law firms, government agencies, and academic clients with document conversion from dictated audio into structured text. It is led by founder and CEO Linda Giles and operates with a team of 11–50 employees supplemented by a Fort Lauderdale, FL regional office.

The company runs a web-based digital dictation platform that accepts audio via toll-free telephone, iPhone, and online upload from digital recorders, and delivers transcripts through a HIPAA-compliant, 128-bit SSL–encrypted portal with EMR integration, e-prescribing, electronic signature, and referring-physician faxing. Production is human-transcriptionist-led with front-end and back-end speech recognition used to accelerate editor throughput. The platform supports 24–72 hour standard turnaround with STAT delivery in 1–2 hours, and the company claims a 99–99.9% accuracy rate. Government-facing deliverables are produced to Section 508 accessibility standards, and the firm holds SBA Certified Small Business Enterprise, Minority-Owned, and Woman-Owned Business designations.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-line usage-based pricing using the industry-standard 65-character line, with pricing varying by volume, turnaround time, technical complexity, and recording quality. The company claims 17–28% cost savings versus an in-house transcription department. Additional revenue streams include professional court reporting services in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, deposition and notary services, and audio/video transcription modules. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining account-manager-driven enterprise acquisition (government, healthcare systems, law firms) with a self-serve web platform for SMB and individual customers, supported by SEO content, organic social, and active participation in industry associations (AHDI, AHIMA, MTIA).
