What we do for Detroit clients
Transcription, human-verified or AI-only
Upload audio or video, or dictate straight into the browser. You choose per job whether a person checks the transcript against the recording before you get it, and the finished document records which mode produced it — so you can always tell whether anyone reviewed it.
Dictate a form and get the form back
Upload a blank form, talk through the answers, and we write them into that same document in its own layout — not a summary of what you said. Every extracted field carries a confidence score and the quote from your dictation it came from.
A record that survives an audit
When someone approves a document we store who they were, a SHA-256 digest of exactly the content they saw, the version, and the time — plus how long elapsed between the transcript becoming available and the signature. You can export that certificate and a recipient can verify the digest without us.
Turnaround you pick per job

What Michigan law requires
Medical records
Michigan sets seven years from the date of service under MCL 333.16213, and then qualifies it in ways that matter more than the headline number. The seven years is a floor rather than a ceiling: a longer period applies where federal or state law, regulation, or generally accepted standards of medical practice require one. A defined category of records - those documenting examinations involving vaginal or anal penetration - must be held for fifteen years rather than seven. Records of minors run until the patient reaches twenty-one or for seven years, whichever is longer. The provision most likely to catch a practice out concerns early destruction: a record less than seven years old may be destroyed only after the physician has sent written notice to the patient's last known address and given them the opportunity to request a copy. That is a procedural duty attached to disposal, not merely a period to count, and it applies to the record as a whole including transcribed documentation held within it.
- MCL § 333.16213 (retention of records; minimum seven years from date of service)
- MCL § 333.16213(2)(b) (fifteen-year category for specified examinations)
- MCL § 333.16213 (written notice to the patient required before early destruction)
Legal transcripts
Michigan requires court reporters and recorders to be licensed and certified through the state, so an uncertified transcriber cannot produce the official record. As in most licensure states, this means a transcript intended to serve as the record of a proceeding must come from a certified reporter rather than from a transcription vendor, however accurate that vendor output is. Transcripts prepared for case preparation, discovery review, and internal use are not subject to that restriction.
