Deposition Transcription .............................................................................................................................
Deposition Transcription
is the transcription of court depositions as well as creation
of related affidavits.
In legal terms, a deposition can be defined as the act of
testifying under oath. It can also be a written statement
taken under oath that can be used in place of spoken testimony.
Deposition Transcription is a part of the court reporting
services. Court Reporters usually undertake the work of verbatim
transcription of court related depositions, hearings, interrogations,
meetings etc. The written record for all of these events is
required for correspondence purposes or as record for legal
proof. The stress is on the accuracy of the transcription
and its confidentiality due to the sensitive nature of the
data transcribed. Deposition Transcription services are needed
by law firms, public defender offices, legal departments in
companies, state departments etc.
iSource India has been in the field of transcription since
many years. We have witnessed the rise of this industry from
the time it was a fledgling among other business services
to its present position as one of the leaders among outsourced
business services. We can claim to be veterans in this arena
due to our considerable experience as well as the sheer expanse
of the range of services that we have been providing. Hence,
we possess the edge in understanding the needs of our customers
and our mechanisms of getting those needs satisfied are tried
and tested.
Deposition Transcription services come under the purview of
legal transcription. Hence, the transcription work for depositions
is guided by special rules that we have framed for this kind
of transcription. The transcriptionists responsible for transcribing
depositions are the most accurate ones. Moreover, the transcribed
documents undergo multiple proofreading sessions to iron out
all possible errors. All special formatting requests will
be sought for and duly implemented in the transcription work.
For securing confidentiality of client’s data, we have
implemented several measures. We have been active participants
in HL7 EHR Security and Privacy Issues. On the cost front,
we have the advantage of being an outsourced transcription
company. Though we operate from the US, we have an offshore
location in India from where we get our work transcribed.
India has a large pool of English speaking, educated middle
class, which enables us to hire the best talent in transcriptioning
for astonishingly low prices. Hence, law firms in the US are
increasingly outsourcing their work to India to take advantage
of this windfall of cost savings. Some law firms have saved
about 40% of their transcription costs by getting it outsourced.
All this comes without any compromise on quality as well.
This is vouched for by our impressive clientele who have been
using our transcription services since many years.
Some firms choose to do their own transcription work. For
that they have to hire personnel especially for this purpose.
There will be investments on preliminary training of transcriptionists.
The investment on setting up infrastructure for such transcription
work is also considerably high. All this adds up to unwanted
overhead for the company. On the other hand, if you choose
to get your transcripts from an outsourced deposition transcription
company like ours, all of this expenditure will be completely
avoided and your transcription work gets done in minimal cost.
There wouldn’t be the need to bother about transcriptioning
staff, their payroll, attendance record, insurance costs etc.
Other than Deposition Transcription, we also provide transcription
services for other legal functions like interrogatories, pleadings,
briefs, letters etc. There is no bar on the kind of law that
we extend our services to, be it for real estate, criminal,
family, personal injury, corporate or trial law.
