What we do for Toledo 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.

What Ohio law requires
Medical records
Ohio has no general statute setting a minimum retention period for medical records, which surprises many practices. Licensed health care facilities must keep records for at least six years from the date of discharge under the Administrative Code, and providers treating Medicaid patients must retain those records for at least six years. Ohio statutes do not impose a specific retention duty on individual physicians, though the medical board has suggested matching the six-year facility period. Medicare-participating providers face a separate seven-year federal expectation.
- Ohio Admin. Code 3701-83-11 (health care facility records - six years)
- Ohio Rev. Code § 2913.40(D) (Medicaid records - six years)
- No general statutory period for individual physicians
Legal transcripts
Ohio takes an approach opposite to most states in this list: it imposes no state certification or licensing requirement on court reporters at all. What governs instead is the rule about the record itself. Superior Rule 11 permits proceedings before any court, and discovery proceedings, to be recorded by stenographic, phonogramic or photographic means, by audio electronic recording device, or by video recording - so the method is open and the credential is a matter for the individual court rather than the state. Many Ohio courts require the Registered Professional Reporter certification in practice even though no statute does. For depositions the rule is firmer than the certification position suggests: an audio or video version must carry all the certifications of the officer who took it in compliance with Rule 11, and a court will not accept or permit that version to be presented at trial or hearing unless a written transcript has also been filed. The written transcript is therefore the operative document regardless of how the proceeding was captured, which is the point that matters when deciding what to have transcribed and certified.
- Ohio Sup. R. 11 (recording of proceedings; stenographic, phonogramic, photographic, audio electronic, video)
- Ohio Sup. R. 11 (officer certifications required on an audio or video deposition version)
- No state certification or licensing requirement for court reporters; individual courts commonly require RPR
