Emergency medical services and 9-1-1 calls save countless lives in the US. Paramedics and EMS technicians work around the clock, battling through traffic and exhaustion to ensure every emergency call is answered. 911 call centers are open 24/7 to take any request for help at any time. Emergency 911 call transcription companies like Ditto offer the best service quality, accuracy, and affordability, allowing you to work with human professionals and keep your records clean and pristine.
In this article, you’ll learn how:
- Emergency medical services are essential for townships and cities all around the world.
- Emergency medical personnel are often overworked and work overtime daily. Allowing them to focus on their primary tasks is crucial to their well-being.
- Ditto emphasizes the superiority of human transcriptionists over AI for EMS and 911 EMS communications, ensuring 99% accuracy even with poor audio quality and complex accents. We also offer affordable, no long-term contract options with a pay-as-you-go model.
Outsource your EMS and 911 service transcription needs and save on costs
We don’t want our emergency medical service personnel taking on more paperwork, and incorporating an in-house transcription team is costly, time-consuming, and, frankly, unnecessary. Vacation leave, paying overtime, and deep budget cuts can take away much-needed resources that are better allocated to medical services and more law enforcement officer personnel.
Ditto offers accurate emergency and law enforcement transcription solutions with fast turnaround times. We’ll help your agency with your workload, improve your efficiency, and ensure that all transcripts are seen to completion and are professionally produced with 99% accuracy.
Why choose humans to transcribe recorded EMS and 911 emergency calls?
Anything can happen during an EMS or 911 call, so proper documentation is crucial. Recordings of emergency communications are important not only for police departments and officers and investigators but also for insurance companies and other involved parties. That’s why 911 and other emergency personnel communication transcription services can be a literal godsend to our overworked EMTs. However, not all transcription services are created equal.
Even the most advanced automated dictation software can’t hold a candle to expert human transcriptionists. You will need to spend a lot of time correcting little inaccuracies in A.I. transcriptions on things specialized transcription experts like ours won’t miss. Understanding different dialects, accents, pronunciations, and tone are fully understood by our human transcribers. Loud background noises, multiple speakers, bad audio quality, and many other factors can negatively affect automated transcription.
And machines can’t certify transcripts — which is a great metric for any company’s integrity and accountability. We stand behind our work; everything we do is to meet client requirements and oversight compliance. So why roll the dice on AI’s notoriously inconsistent accuracy when Ditto is a safe and affordable choice? Our transcripts are always accurately and securely prepared and delivered.
Quick Turnaround Times for All Law Enforcement Departments
Eliminate downtimes in your workflow. Once your files of any format are uploaded to our secure server, we’ll get your transcripts ready typically in 3-5 business days, or less, depending on your agency’s turnaround time requirements. Completed projects can be uploaded as different file types or sent as professionally prepared hard copies, per your request. Completion times may differ. For instance, longer audio and video files or bulk transcription orders may take up to two weeks.
