Turnaround Time

DigitScribe has round-the-clock operations and the turnaround time (TAT) is always discussed before taking up any assignment. Generally, DigitScribe offers a 24 hour turnaround time. To ensure we meet our TAT, a Team Leader is assigned to monitor the workflow from their assigned clients and manage their transcription team. Our Operations Coordinator monitors the turnaround times and assists with customer service issues. Each client’s account is staffed to accommodate contractual turnaround requirements.

State-of-the-art internet-based technology allows our transcriptionists to access real-time client specific information. The technology also allows flexibility in scheduling of transcriptionists, enabling our Team Leaders to manage turnaround times and quality standards, regardless of staffing interruptions.

Transcription work is distributed based on the transcriptionist’s work pool. The work pools are assigned according to the transcriptionist’s skill level, work schedule, and turnaround time. To promote quality and productivity, our transcriptionists are assigned to a limited number of accounts and work types.
