What's New

Happy Thanksgiving from ADA Transcription!!

November 28, 2011

As was said in the email we sent some of our customers, tis the seasons to be thankful.

So I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our amazing customers for not only their business, but for the relationships that we've developed that we treasure so much.

We have extremely loyal customers that often pass our names on to others, and lead to referrals.  This is one of the main ways that ADA Transcription grows.  And what does that mean to us?  Well it's certainly the greatest compliment we could ever receive.  And we appreciate it the honor of being trusted enough to be passed on to colleagues, friends or acquaintances.  We know that in many ways, it's now your name and on the line.  And we are sure to then treat that person in the same manner as we treated you.

So again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday with your loved ones.

Website/Pricing Updates

November 18, 2011

I just wanted to put a note in here that comments on the prices listed on our website.  I want to apologize personally for the fact that the prices listed on this site are not up to date.  I do realize how unprofessional that is and we are currently working diligently to get the problem solved.

We are in the process of creating an updated website which will include accurate pricing.  Although of course, for pricing specifically for your situation, shoot us an email and we'll create personalized pricing just for you!

Don't worry, you'll still have the simple, user-friendly way to upload audio and everything will remain the same.

You just may see some of our positive qualities displayed in different manners.  

I think it's important that you know who we are as a company:

Do you know that no aspect of this company is outsourced outside of the United States?
Do you know that we are aligned with many local and national charities and donate a minimum of 5% of all company profits to charity?
Do you know what some of our clients have to say about us?

These are things that mean a lot to us.  And since you, our customers, also mean a lot to us, we want to share those things with you.

So keep an eye out for our updated site!!  Hopefully it'll be here soon!

Until then, just contact us at info@adatranscription.com for information on pricing or fill out our contact sheet.

Thanks for your patience!

Couldn't I just do it myself??

November 4, 2011

Ahh, a comment I so frequently hear people say.  And the answer... get ready...

Yup.  Absoltuely.  

The problem is, you probably don't have the time.  There is no magic skill or "special trick."  It's not rocket science.  However, it's also not nearly as simple as it sounds.  An excellent transcriptionist averages one hour of audio in four hours.  

A regular Joe could probably spend four hours on 20 minutes of audio.  

(How do I know this for sure you ask?  Well I have acquaintances regularly ask me how they can work with ADA.  I always suggest they take a practice test first.  Then, if they want to continue, I can point them in the right direction for training, certifications and experience.  Usually within a day or two, I get a phone call that sounds something like this... "I had NO idea this would be so hard and take so much concentration.  I just spent 40 minutes on 5 minutes of audio!")  

Why?  Well, it's simple, the ear, the fingers, and the relationship between the two needs to be trained, practiced and experienced.  A high WPM rate (although benificial to the transcriptionist) is not all it takes to be good.  Extreme focus, attention to detail, excellent grammar, spelling skills, organization and reliability are all important.

But really the most important aspect is the relationship between your ears and your fingers.  There's simply no other way to put it.  It takes training, and lots, and lots, and LOTS of experience. That's why ADA Transcription hires only experienced transcriptionists.  All transcriptionists undergo a series of tests before they are tried out.  AND we also have lead transcriptionists who double check all work.

So as I tell everyone that asks me this question, Sure you can do it yourself!  Then just give me a call in a couple hours and we'll be more than happy to take it from there.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!


Research, Transcription and Confidentiality

July 26th, 2011

At ADA Transcription we work with many research facilities, some associated with colleges and universities, some with specific products or new drug compounds and some with public interest entities.  

Our team of educated and trained transcriptionists provide the professional and dependable transcripts that you need.  From focus groups and case studies to interviews and seminars, one of the largest industries in the transcription world is made up of research.

I get a lot of questions about confidentiality.  So here's a few tips that are good for really anyone looking for transcripts, but can be increasingly important for a research facility:

1)  Be sure that all uploads of your audio are secure:  Just because you can upload on a private website does not mean that your audio is safe.  Be sure they have some form of secure, encrypted audio uploading capabilities like we do.

2)  Get a Confidentiality and Nondisclosure agreement.  If the company says they do not have one, or acts as if they aren't positive of what you mean.... run.  At ADA Transcription they are readily available upon request.

3)  You may want the company to remove all names or identifying factors (like addresses or streets).  Some companies may charge extra for this.  At ADA, it's always free.

4)  Know your company.  Although getting your audio transcribed should be a simple and not complicated process, you want to work with a company that you trust, especially since they have access to information that is often not only technically confidential, but often truly very sensitive as well.  You must trust the ethics of the company itself.  

At ADA Transcription, we pride ourselves on our relationships with our customers.  We have the absolute best and most loyal customers.  We love working with them and we believe they feel the same way about us.  How do we know?  A large portion of our business comes from referrals.  And to us, that's the greatest compliment we can receive.

So trust your audio to a company with a reputation for quality in both the transcripts produced and the customer service behind them.
