You must be asking yourself, how would an online transcription service fit within my business process? Here is how!
Are you a…
Sole Practitioner looking to get the job done?
Do not have the need for a full-time legal secretary, but still have correspondence that needs to be typed?
Outsource the simple and time consuming task of transcription to the experts @ eDecree.
Small to Mid-Sized Firm looking to improve efficiency?
Assuming 1 assistant per lawyer, output is limited by the bandwidth of your assistant
- Limiting the number of files you can handle
- Resulting in multiple day waits for your letters to be transcribed causing delays
Why hire an additional assistant? Reduce costs by dividing the type of tasks that need to be done. The assistant performs tasks which require onsite support, while outsourcing repetitive tasks such as transcription to the experts @ eDecree
By outsourcing your dictation, you free up considerable time for your legal assistant to take care of higher priority tasks such as scheduling and file management.
According to 2007 Salary Guide from Robert Half Legal, the average salary of:
Junior Legal Secretary: $36,000/yr + benefits
Midlevel Legal Secretary: $41,000/yr + benefits
which results in a conservative average cost of $51000 on the low end
Why would you utilize an employee costing you ~ $25/ hour to do a task that can be done at ~ $15/ hour? Free up your assistant to perform tasks that are higher up the value chain and result in higher efficiency.
As well, outsourcing your dictation can result in significant cost savings for your firm. For instance, using eDecree for your dictation is much cheaper than hiring a temp if your assistant is sick or on vacation. Also, if you have a surplus of dictation, then using eDecree is similarly much cheaper than hiring additional staff.
