The Company
Founded in 1994, OS+ started as a transcription company for the Trial Courts in Massachusetts by winning PRF03, the State Contract with an opportunity to transcribe all media using the State’s Uniform Transcript Format (UTF). OS+ has since won this contract three times and transcribes work from all courts and the judicial branch of state government as well as other state agencies.
Since then, transcription has grown to include the medical industry using online dictation. Physicians telephone into a state-of-the-art digital dictation system from any telephone and dictate medical records which are automatically transmitted for transcription using a collaboration website for quick turnaround.
In addition, meeting recording of government minutes at City Council meetings and Town Meetings has become standard, as well as recording and transcribing meetings for corporations.
Finally, custom projects are done for clients which involve large copying projects, depositions for attorneys, mailings and document scanning in large volumes.
The company’s workforce can expand and contract according to need making it easy to quickly gear up according to the requirements of each project so customers’ projects can be processed in a timely, efficient manner.
OS+ has seen rapid growth due to its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction with the finished product. Using technological innovation and customer referrals only for advertising, business growth has been very positive as clients refer others to OS+.
Four lines of business guarantee growth and continuity in any economy and offer one-stop shopping for clients in specific areas.
OS+ has 15 years experience working with state-of-the-art technology, all types of media, transcription, court requirements, the medical and legal industry, government experience, HIPAA requirements, the needs of towns and cities and corporations.
OS+ is SOMWBA certified, DBE certified, WBE certified: these certifications mean TRUST and RELIABILITY because the government has approved us for this status.
OS+ won 2 state contracts: PRF03 and PRF35—this means our qualifications and references are proven and valid because the Commonwealth of Massachusetts put us through a thorough, detailed researched and investigative process to qualify for these contracts.
OS+ uses a High Speed Collaboration Website to send/receive information guaranteeing fast turnaround for clients whether your product is scanning, transcription, voice or image.
OS+ does REMOTE BACKUP of your files so your work is protected in two places: on our server and remotely offsite in case of disaster.
OS+ hires qualified, certified transcriptionists who must pass an interview process as well as transcription testing to be hired—this means we produce TOP QUALITY WORK.
OS+ uses the LATEST BRANDS of equipment; none of our equipment is purchased used, no technology is pieced together to economize, we used the latest releases of software when practical.
OS+ has service policies on its equipment and IT expertise on staff so there is NO DOWN TIME. We know what we are doing with our software and hardware to give you quality results in a short time.
Our most important asset is our reputation and we enhance it by servicing our clients well. Each product we send out is accompanied by a customer satisfaction survey to monitor how well we perform on every project and we solicit customer feedback.
Being a small company, our advertising budget is limited but we communicate regularly with clients through Personal Letters from the President and usually enclose a gift with each letter.
Transcription is our expertise. All media is accepted. All legal and court projects can be transcribed from interviews to recorded telephone calls to court recordings to videotapes. Audiocassettes, 2- or 4-track tapes, VHS cassettes, CDs, DVDs—we transcribe from it. Usually we upload audio from the media into an mp3 file on an FTP site to the transcriptionist to download in minutes. Work can be given to the office by you in a similar fashion or can be mailed to OS+ at 30 Chestnut Street, Quincy, MA 02169. (Please download and complete a Transcription Request Form and include it with your project.)
We will strive to meet any turnaround time.
OS+ can transcribe verbatim using UTF (Uniform Transcription Format) from the Massachusetts Trial Courts for any legal document. OS+ is certified by the State and includes a valid Certificate in the transcript as well as a Certificate of Audibility. Indexing and Condensing are available and optional.
All court formats are accepted: JAVS, Courtsmart, FTR—any format.
OS+ takes pride in servicing the legal market, both private law firms and the government judicial branch and state agencies. Attorneys, Judges, Clerks and court employees have worked with OS+ closely to process cases, interviews, 911 calls, depositions and OS+ is sensitive to their requirements and gets the job done in a timely, accurate and efficient manner.
For 15 years, OS+ has worked with cities and towns taking meeting minutes and great changes have taken place. From audiocassettes to CDs to mp3 files to videotapes, OS+ compiles a creative Meeting Minute package for meeting minutes second to none.
The meeting recording in audio format, the agenda and handouts in image format and the narrative in MS Word format are created into one electronic package uploadable onto a city/town website recreating for citizens online an audible and visual summary of the meeting that took place.
Whether it is the Selectmen’s Meeting, Zoning Board of Appeals, City Council Meeting, or any meeting at all, this inclusive meeting minute package provides a complete solution.
Meeting recording for companies that have sessions on public record and transcription of those recorded meetings;
Document scanning where any company has file boxes consuming storage space that need conversion to electronic files which can be indexed;
Transcription of focus groups, interviews, research results;
Special projects like copying and mailings.
Doctors need to summarize patients’ visits and checkups and to write letters to referring physicians and patients. Usually this is done via dictation online (using the OS+ system) or at their own office using recording equipment. OS+ can use a password to remotely access the physician’s system and transcribe the medical record online after hours. Next morning, the transcribed work is ready for signature. No emails, this is quick!
