Thinking of starting a transcription company?

If you're thinking of starting a transcription business, before long you'll encounter technical and administrative issues that it would take you a long time to solve on your own. Rather than reinventing the wheel, we suggest you use ScribeManager, because it provides ready-made solutions to the typical problems you'll face. Not only that, but as a ScribeManager customer you also get free technical support and advice on any aspect of running a transcription company.

ScribeManager can automate much of your admin work at a very low cost. The standard line rate is a mere US $0.0015 per line, only about a TENTH of competitors' rates, such as Scriberite (see http://www.scriberite.com/pricing.do) and, at the time of writing, Intrascript (pricing now removed from their web site).

EXAMPLE: a transcript of 100 lines costs just 15 cents to put through ScribeManager.

For that, you get all these features:

  • your own configurable upload page, where your clients have a choice of upload tools to send sound files to you. You can even integrate your own upload account, such as YouSendIt.
  • work in any currency, and charge per minute, per word, per line, or fixed fee
  • automatic conversion of most uploaded files to mp3, and automated file timing
  • clear workflow pages, where you can quickly see all the details of current jobs
  • full job history stored (sometimes needed for legal purposes)
  • all your invoices produced and sent to your clients with just a few clicks!
  • everything is Internet-based - if your PC breaks down, you simply move to another PC and carry on - no data is lost.
  • ability for your clients to log in securely and download their transcripts and sound files (original version or mp3)
  • free technical support and advice on running a transcription business
  • possibility of finding new clients
  • ability to scale up easily and use ScribeManager's more powerful features as your transcription business grows

That's only a small part of what ScribeManager can do. As your business grows, you'll learn to use its more powerful features not described above.

The best way to see how ScribeManager can help you is to try it free for a month. Visit the "try it free" page on this site.

If the standard version of ScribeManager doesn't do exactly what you need, we can give you your own instance of it and develop it to your exact requirements. This can include rebranding it, hosting it on your domain, developing new features, etc.
