It usually takes us five business days to get your practice online and ready to dictate.  Therefore, if you are shopping for a new transcription service, we suggest that you allow sufficient time to get set up as a client before you need to start dictating. Certain preliminary steps must be taken before we can begin to transcribe your dictation:

• We require a nonrefundable deposit of $150 which will be credited to your account.

• We need a clear handle on the volume of dictation you expect to be producing.

• We need samples of your reports so that we can do the computer programming needed to create templates and codes for your work.

• We need to know which word processing program you use (Corel WordPerfect or Microsoft Word) and which generation of that program you have on your computers.

• We need to know which operating platform you are using (Windows or MAC).

• We need the e-mail address for the person (you or your support staff) who will be receiving and processing your transcribed reports.
