Our Simplified billing:

We have derived a formula which uses an average words dictated per minute and words transcribed per minute. Our clients are charged per minute of dictatation, accurately broken into 1/100th of a minute units. This system is accurate, predictable and no one spends time counting words per line or quibbling about font type or spacing.

Our charges for delivered transcription is $2.25 per recorded minute of dictation. To save money, you can easily edit your dictation as you speak. A client's bill reads similar to a phone bill for long-distance phone services, charged in 1/100th of a minute units. The cost for each document is easily identifable.

Save! We offer our clients a 5% "Early Bird" discount if the check reaches us by the 10^th day of the billing month.

Using this system simplifies matters immensely:

• Since the computer logs each report to the 1/100th of a minute, depending on the amount of recorded time, the client's bill is extremely straightforward, resembling the billing received for long-distance phone services.

• Alert & Oriented can provide its clients with nicely-formatted, more easily readable reports that do not depend on having to squeeze as many words as possible onto each page or line.

By using this type of billing, we think we have found a solution which is fair to the client, fair to the transcriptionist, and accountable to management. As a result of using this pricing technique, the entire war zone over line counts, page counts, font sizes or any other type of variable in billing and/or formatting becomes a non-issue.
