What we do for Houston 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

Human-verified orders carry a minimum: $25 for audio and documents, $30 for video. AI-only orders have no minimum. Recordings with heavy background noise, crosstalk, or strong accents are quoted at the difficult-audio rate, from $2.25 per minute. We tell you before work starts, never after.
How we work in Houston
Local transcriptionists

Partner practices
We work with legal practices in Texas to serve their clients, which is how we cover this market without asking anyone to send files to another state.
We come to you
For onboarding we would usually rather visit your office than have you visit ours. The Houston office is available by appointment when meeting here suits you better.
What Texas law requires
Medical records
Texas physicians must retain medical records for at least seven years from the date of last treatment, or longer where other federal or state law requires it. For patients under 18, records must be kept until the patient reaches 21 or for seven years from last treatment, whichever is longer. Records connected to a civil, criminal, or administrative proceeding may only be destroyed once the physician knows the matter has been finally resolved.
- 22 Tex. Admin. Code § 163.2 (Texas Medical Board - medical record retention)
Legal transcripts
Texas requires certification by the Supreme Court of Texas, administered through the Judicial Branch Certification Commission, before a person may engage in shorthand reporting or be appointed an official court reporter. Certification is method-specific: machine shorthand, stenomask voice writing, and paperless steno are certified separately, and a reporter seeking more than one must pass the oral examination for each. The state also publishes a Uniform Format Manual for Texas Reporters Records, so transcript layout is prescribed statewide rather than left to individual courts - which is unusual and means a transcript in the wrong format is defective regardless of its accuracy.
