One of the most rapidly growing industries today is transcription services. Transcription is essentially the transference of recorded verbal language into written, printed, or typewritten form. The use of transcription exists across a wide variety of industries, ranging from production companies, law firms, medical facilities, law enforcement, media entertainment, educational institutions, government agencies, and individuals alike. In a bustling city such as Philadelphia, the need for high quality English to English, and English to foreign language transcription services is more valuable than ever, especially with over 900,000 residents speaking a language other than English. For over 25 years American Language Services® (ALS) has provided the world with transcription services in over 150 languages. Philadelphia is a place where our transcription services are highly valued and widely used. Our transcription work is translated from a number of mediums including mini cassettes, tapes, micro cassettes, VHS, audio cassettes, DVD's, and digital files including CD, DAT, MPEG, RA, and MP3.
Transcriptions in Key Languages
The extensive growth of transcription services has prompted a wide selection of available language choices. There are over 135 total languages spoken and written in Philadelphia, including the common ones, such as Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Arabic, Korean, Hindi and Vietnamese. Our clients can request a transcript in English, a foreign target language, or in both.
