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.
Washington law firms, government contractors, associations, healthcare organizations, universities, researchers, media outlets, and businesses can all benefit from specialized transcription. Legal Transcription supports depositions, hearings, investigations, and attorney dictation. Interview Transcription is useful for journalism, policy research, and recorded investigations.
Other options include Medical Transcription for healthcare documentation, Academic Transcription for research and lectures, Business Transcription for meetings and conferences, and professional Audio Transcription and Video Transcription for podcasts, webinars, briefings, and recorded events.
A high-quality transcript should correctly identify speakers, preserve the meaning of each voice, and follow consistent spelling and formatting rules. The best results usually come from combining skilled transcriptionists with proofreading, terminology research, timestamps, and a final quality review.
This process is particularly important for legal, medical, government, business, interview, and academic content. Sensitive recordings should also be handled through a secure workflow. Providing speaker names, agency abbreviations, technical vocabulary, and project instructions can improve accuracy and reliability.
Available turnaround choices may include standard, next-day, 24-hour, same-day, urgent, rapid, and super-rush transcription. An instant automated transcript may provide a quick draft, but professional human review is recommended when accuracy matters.
The final transcription turnaround time depends on the audio length, speaker count, recording quality, language, and formatting requirements. When speed is the priority, upload the recording online and identify your deadline immediately so the appropriate delivery option can be confirmed.
Common audio and voice formats include MP3, AIF, M4A, AMR, WMA, OGG, and WAV. Commonly accepted video formats include MP4, WMV, MOV, AVI, and VOB.
These files may contain government briefings, interviews, hearings, depositions, research discussions, medical dictation, podcasts, conferences, business meetings, webinars, or training sessions. If your file uses an uncommon or outdated format, ask whether it can be converted before transcription. Clear audio usually supports faster delivery and a more accurate transcript.
Multilingual transcription can support Washington organizations communicating with local communities and worldwide audiences. Ten commonly requested languages are English, Spanish, French, Amharic, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Korean, Vietnamese, Portuguese, and Tagalog. Pricing and availability depend on the language, dialect, recording length, sound quality, technical complexity, and delivery deadline. When comparing affordable or cheap transcription services, confirm whether the price includes professional review, proofreading, revisions, secure file handling, and final quality control.
