Medical Transcription

The medical division of ADA Transcription is made up of certified medical transcriptionists who provide transcription services to individual physicians, practices and researchers across the United States. All work is then proofread by a lead transcriptionist, who is also certified. Our transcriptionists have knowledge that goes far beyond medical terminology; they have a deep understanding of biology, pathology and etiology, as well.  You can rest easy knowing your audio is in extremely qualified hands.

Verbatim

We offer verbatim options for all of our clients. For our medical clients we offer two types of verbatim:

Strict Verbatim: This is exactly what has been stated, from false starts, stutters, "ums", and every sound uttered by a person in the recording. Add $.06 per minute.

Intelligent Verbatim: This includes stutters and "ums", but does not include a person's "unnecessarily common" words, such as "you know", "like" et cetera.  It also does not include any unnecessary words that are irrelevant to the subject and conversation, such as false starts or misspoken words. Add $.04 per minute.
