A great service for attorneys. As a small practice in a rural area finding the support staff to turn out quality work on a timely basis is always an issue. LegalTypist is the answerFast, friendly and cost conscious are a few words that describe my experience with LegalTypist. 

Todd Starr, Esq.   

Thanks for sending along the helpful virtual assistant/outsourcing materials.  Since my very positive experience with your service, I've recommended you to many others in my area.  I think you are on the leading edge of providing services to a new practice paradigm that will ultimately make traditional law firm operations--with teeming support staff and stratospheric overhead--increasingly rare.

Fred McCormack, Esq.       

 I have been meaning to write you and tell you how happy I have been with LegalTypist.  Your firm has made going out on my own almost, dare I say it, easy.  I look forward to you adding more virtual services as time goes on.

Jim Aspell, Esq

LegalTypist’s quality of work and responsiveness have far exceeded my expectations.  Their consistent dependability has not only reduced my firm’s expenses, but also my stress level.

Services

LegalTypist has been providing legal transcription and customized off site secretarial solutions to sole practitioners, multiple attorney firms and companies working within the legal industry since April of 2001.   The first company to combine state of the art, secure technology with qualified digital assistance, LegalTypist offers any size firm an affordable, scalable digital dictation to document workflow accessible from any telephone or internet connection.

Why does upgrading to digital dictation/transcription through LegalTypist improve firm processes?

  • WORK PRODUCERS/DICTATORS: since all that's needed is a telephone and a seven digit User ID - firm personnel can dictate 24 hours per day/7 days per week.  With no equipment to purchase, install or learn, no software to license or upgrade,  attorneys and other firm personnel can work remotely as their schedules demand or permit.  LegalTypist toll free call in dictation provides a completely secure and portable dictation solution accessible by any registered user from any telephone ANYWHERE, ANYTIME!   We're all about options at LegalTypist, which is why attorneys can also use portable recorders and/or dictation software - whatever works for them.

  • IN HOUSE SUPPORT PERSONNEL:  Do you know how much time each day, each firm secretary spends transcribing tapes? 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours or more?  To give you an idea, industry protocol for 1 hour of recorded audio (one voice, fairly clear) equal about 4 hours of transcription.  With  LegalTypist, time consuming initial drafts transcription is removed from internal processes, freeing up valuable time for firm secretaries to work on projects of greater responsibility or to help better manage their assigned responsibilities.  LegalTypist naturally provides a much needed release valve for secretaries and administrators by providing for seamless overflow or after hours support.

  •  ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF/HR MANAGERS Without digital, there simply is no cost effective way to track and monitor the document generation process.   With LegalTypist, reporting features include tracking of each job by creation date, dictator, time in, time returned, length of dictation and custom demographics such as client or file number.  Use these reports to track turn around times, volume of work by client, amount of dictation provided, cost to produce, etc

Work is provided by:

Toll free Dial In Dictation  - providing firm work producers with the option to work remotely from any standard telephone greatly increases their options to work during non-traditional hours.  By using any standard telephone and our toll free number, dictators securely connect to the System through their unique User ID.  Dial in dictation is perfect for firms with multiple offices, those who frequently travel and especially those who do not want to tote around another piece of equipment! A great alternative for those who draft by hand -- simply call the toll free number and read your draft into the System.   Want to see just how easy it is to dictate via phone?  Here's the easy to follow instructions.

Direct Web upload  - Along with toll free dial in, firm dictators can also use portable units or dictation software to capture their dictations.  Once the audio file is transferred from the unit to a PC connected to the internet, firm dictators log into the System with their unique User ID, browse to the file and hit the upload button.  Here's the easy to follow instructions LegalTypist accepts most common audio files created using portable recorders and/or digital dictation software.  A utility which automates the transfer process is also available.

Fax - use our toll free number to send in your handwritten drafts, revisions, business cards, or other company information.  We'll type it and and you can block/copy where needed.

Work is returned by:

E-mail - e-mail attachment is the common method for delivery of completed documents.  Initial drafts transcription can be delivered to each dictator, their secretary/assistant or to a general firm delivery e-mail address.

Direct Download - transcribed documents remain on our secure server for 30 days for download from any internet connected computer.  Permissions for access to all firm accounts is available for firm administrative purposes or automatic return to specific PCs can also be configured.
