Transcription Plus opened in 1991, when it was established by its current owner, Kathy Erwin. As a former transcriptionist for a large corporation, she saw a niche for a local transcription business that offers quality transcriptions at competitive prices. Transcription is not a commodity. A 2003 study published in the Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine cited that medical doctors who chose voice-recognition software over a human transcriptionist spent 67 minutes a week correcting their transcriptions. Our clients in every profession will tell you that spending this amount of time correcting someone else's work is simply unacceptable.
