We are here to assist
25 years of depositions and hearings, and we’ve never let software guess at legalese. Real specialists recheck every file twice before it lands in your inbox.
Our specialists review each transcript – not software. What this translates to is context being pinged, errors spotted and if there is something that seems out of place case you know who to ring.
Our Best Transcription Services starts at USD $0.95 per audio minute, American Transcription Services offers clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Our pricing model is designed for professionals who value accuracy, accountability, and consistently high-quality human transcription.
American Transcription Services provides human transcription services in Philadelphia for interviews, legal recordings, medical dictation, academic research, and business conversations. We turn recorded speech into written documents that you can search, review, and share with the people working on your project.
Send us your recording details and explain how you will use the transcript. We will help confirm the transcript style, formatting, quote, and delivery schedule, whether you have one interview or a series of recordings.
Document interviews for reporting, investigations, customer research, or professional reference. We transcribe individual and group conversations with attention to speaker identification and context. Provide the interviewer and participant names, or your preferred anonymous labels, to help readers follow each response.
Prepare research interviews, focus groups, lectures, and oral histories for analysis. Tell us whether your study requires fillers, repetitions, pauses, or nonverbal events to be recorded. A clear transcription brief helps keep conventions consistent across interviews and makes the resulting documents easier to compare.
Our legal transcription service covers recorded depositions, hearings, witness interviews, attorney dictation, arbitration, and related material. Supply reference spellings and formatting instructions when available. If you need certification or a particular court format, include that requirement with your enquiry so we can confirm the requested scope.
Convert physician dictation, consultation notes, procedure reports, discharge summaries, and diagnostic recordings into documents for clinical review. Our service includes attention to medical terminology and document structure. Contact us to discuss the required file-handling process before submitting patient information.
Create a written reference for meetings, conference calls, webinars, training sessions, and presentations. Share the agenda and names of participating organizations to support terminology checks. A transcript lets colleagues locate decisions, revisit explanations, and prepare follow-up material without replaying the entire recording.
We work with recorded speech in audio and video files, including interviews and presentations. Specify whether you need a reading transcript, a document with timestamps, or another output. If you need timed captions or subtitles, mention that separately so the deliverable can be confirmed.
Full verbatim transcription captures the spoken wording with agreed details such as fillers, repeated words, and false starts. Clean verbatim removes agreed speech clutter for easier reading while preserving the speaker’s meaning. Tell us which approach suits your work.
Speaker labels identify who is speaking. Timestamps help you return to a passage in the recording. Include the labeling rules, timestamp intervals, and any template with your instructions so the quote reflects the document you need.
Our transcription rates start at USD $0.95 per audio minute. Final pricing depends on audio quality, speaker count, subject complexity, turnaround, and requested formatting. An audio minute refers to one minute of the recording.
At the starting rate, a 45-minute recording would cost USD $42.75 before any applicable adjustments. Send your file details for a quote covering the actual work. Overnight turnaround may be available; ask us to confirm a delivery time for your recording.
For a larger project, send the expected number of recordings and your overall deadline. Use consistent file names and include a list of participant labels, reference terms, and transcription conventions. Ask about a sample to check the proposed format before arranging the full project.
For example, decide whether every interview should mark pauses or only use timestamps at speaker changes. Recording these decisions in a short brief helps everyone work to the same instructions.
Our published data security policy describes encryption, restricted access, and handling procedures. Tell us about confidentiality, retention, and agreement requirements before submitting sensitive files.
We support online orders from Center City, University City, Northeast Philadelphia, and across Greater Philadelphia. Coordinate your files and instructions remotely without arranging an office visit.
