What Transcripts does

Transcripts, Ltd. is a Phoenix, Arizona-based professional transcription and data entry company founded in 1991, privately held and certified as a woman-owned small business and a registered Federal contractor. The firm provides verbatim and edited audio transcription services across government, medical, legal, law enforcement, private investigation, human resources, religious, and individual client segments, supplemented by a wholly-owned data entry division called CDE Services. Service scope covers medical dictation, forensic interviews, hearings, council meetings, HR interviews, sermons, and personal recordings, with delivery via secure digital upload (no file size limit), email, or physical pickup/delivery in the Phoenix metropolitan area.

The company's core technology is a secure digital content delivery system with 128-bit SSL encryption, scrambled filenames on storage servers, and optional password-protected zip encryption, designed to satisfy HIPAA, HITECH, Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and California Security Breach Notification Act requirements. Transcription is performed by US-based citizens who are fingerprinted and background checked, with a three-step proofreading quality control process. The platform accepts a wide range of digital audio formats (.wav, .mp3, .dss, .flac, .aac, and others) as well as physical media (DVDs, CDs, and mini, micro, and standard cassette tapes), giving the firm a broad ingest surface for clients with legacy or non-digital recordings.

Transcripts, Ltd. operates a usage-based, per-line revenue model, with medical transcription priced at 11 cents per line for digital upload, 12 cents for M/W/F pickup/delivery, and 13 cents for daily pickup/delivery, and with no delivery charges for orders of 300 lines or more. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and B2B, primarily through the company website, phone ordering, and email, with global digital file delivery and Phoenix-metro physical courier service. Pricing is transparently quoted upfront, and the company accepts major credit cards and PayPal. The company's value proposition centers on data security, regulatory compliance, US-based vetted labor, 24-hour medical turnaround, and explicit 50-70% cost savings versus in-house transcription staff.
