Transcription Process

WESCO has developed a simple, effective process to provide reliable, quality transcription services. This process incorporates Internet technology, a pocket PC, and qualified WESCO staff to provide a cost-effective solution to transcriptions regardless of where the provider may be located, and regardless of whether the business is a health care, financial, or another type of organization.

The WESCO transcription process works like this:

  1. The provider receives a pocket PC and training from WESCO.
  2. When ready, the provider dictates one or more files into the pocket PC.
  3. The provider or an assistant downloads the dictation from the pocket PC to the PC.
  4. The provider or an assistant uploads the dictation file from the PC to the WESCO Web site using utilities provided on the site.
  5. The WESCO Web site stores the dictation and makes it available to a qualified transcriptionist.
  6. Once the transcription is complete, the transcriptionist checks the file back into the WESCO Web site.
  7. The quality assurance staff randomly selects transcriptions for testing.
  8. When completed, the transcription file is marked "available".
  9. The provider or an assistant can access the WESCO Web site at their convenience and transfer the transcription file to their PC for printing or to include in electronic records.
  10. All transcription files are in Microsoft Word.
  11. WESCO retains transcription files on its Web site for 24 months and audio files for 6 months.

The WESCO transcription process is an effective method that allows transcriptionists external to a business to provide a function within a provider's organization without disrupting the normal business flow.
