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.
What are transcription services?
Transcription services convert spoken audio or video into accurate written text. Professional providers like American Transcription Services use trained human transcriptionists to document interviews, legal proceedings, medical dictation, meetings, and podcasts – delivering formatted, verbatim-accurate transcripts that automated tools can’t reliably match.
How much do transcription services cost?
Professional transcription typically costs USD $0.95 per audio minute per audio minute, depending on accuracy requirements, turnaround, and audio quality. Our transcription services start at $0.95 per audio minute with transparent, upfront pricing – no hidden rush fees or surprise charges at checkout. Pricing can be structured per minute or per page to fit how your firm works.
How accurate are your transcripts?
Our transcripts are guaranteed 99%+ accurate. Every file is produced by a qualified human transcriptionist and then reviewed line by line by a separate quality analyst before delivery – not checked by software. This two-stage human review is why attorneys, physicians, and researchers have relied on us for over 26 years.
Is human transcription more accurate than AI transcription?
Yes – human transcription is significantly more accurate than automated AI transcription, especially for legal terminology, medical vocabulary, accents, cross-talk, and poor-quality audio. Automated tools guess at unclear speech; our specialists understand context, catch sound-alike errors, and preserve nuance that speech-recognition software routinely smooths away or gets wrong.
What is your turnaround time?
Standard transcripts are typically delivered overnight, clean and ready to use. The delivery date we commit to is the date you receive your file – even when the audio is difficult. Faster turnaround options are available depending on your project; contact us to match a turnaround to your deadline.
What types of transcription services do you offer?
We provide legal, medical, interview, academic, and business transcription, plus text and audio translation. Each specialty is handled by transcriptionists experienced in that field’s vocabulary – depositions and hearings for legal, EMR-ready notes for medical, IRB-confidential interviews for academic research, and cross-talk-heavy conversations for business.
Are your transcription services confidential and secure?
Yes. All files are uploaded to an encrypted, cloud-based platform, protected by NDAs and restricted access, and transferred securely. Our medical transcription is fully HIPAA compliant. Confidentiality protocols apply to every file, from law enforcement recordings to sensitive research interviews.
