What does the Allegis Secure Online Self-Services Center offer?

First and foremost, our web-based services center offers enterprise-grade security, which we know is a major concern for large P&C organizations. Besides the ability to quickly and easily place orders and upload digital audio files to Allegis for transcription, it also allows you to view, print, and download your transcripts right from our secure site. Our Online Services Center holds copies of your transcripts for 60 days so extra copies and reprints are right at your fingertips. From here you can also forward copies of your transcripts to a third-party via email.

What is your turnaround? How fast do I get my transcripts back?

Allegis offers a variety of turnaround times so you get your completed statements back when you need them.  Our Standard service level turnaround for digital audio is 4 business days, Priority is 2 business days and Rush (with a 4-hour turnaround) is available for audio recordings that are no more than 40 minutes in length. For cassette orders, turnaround times are 5 days for standard, 3 days for Priority and 1 day for Rush/Next Day.  All cassette turnarounds include courier time to and from Allegis if shipped using overnight or rush service.

What format are completed transcripts in?

For increased document security, completed transcripts are returned in the Portable Document Format (PDF) but transcripts are also available in Microsoft Word if preferred.
