American Transcription Services Marks 26 Years of Human Transcription

Updated on February 8, 2023, by ITarian

American Transcription Services (ATS), a U.S.-based transcription and translation provider operating since 1999, today reaffirmed its commitment to fully human-produced documentation as automated speech recognition tools continue to spread across regulated industries. The company serves legal, healthcare, academic, and media clients from offices in New York and London.

Where automated tools struggle — overlapping speakers, heavy accents, poor recording conditions, and specialized terminology — ATS relies on trained transcriptionists working through structured review stages. The company guarantees 99%+ accuracy on delivered work and does not release machine output as a finished product.

Services

ATS offers a full range of documentation services through specialized teams:

• Legal Transcription — court-ready transcripts for depositions, hearings, arbitrations, and recorded interviews, formatted to the standards attorneys and court reporters expect.
• Medical Transcription — physician dictations, clinical notes, and diagnostic reports handled under HIPAA-compliant processes, with attention to clinical terminology and context.
• Interview Transcription — verbatim or clean-read transcripts for qualitative researchers, journalists, and market research teams working with multi-speaker audio.
• Text Translation and Audio Translation — document and multilingual audio translation for organizations working across jurisdictions.

Full details on turnaround options and file formats are available on the company’s transcription services page, with rates published openly on its pricing page.

Security and Support

Client files are processed under GDPR and HIPAA-aligned controls, with confidentiality agreements covering every transcriptionist who touches a project. Details of the company’s safeguards are outlined on its data security page. Each account is assigned a single point of contact reachable 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — a structure the company says reduces handoffs on time-sensitive filings.

For healthcare clients, ATS also maintains EZ Trans, an iOS dictation app that lets physicians record and submit notes directly from a mobile device without desktop hardware.
