What is the comparative cost between having your documents typed in-house by your own attorneys or staff and having them done by SpeakWrite?

Documents have traditionally been transcribed by in-house secretarial staff because that was the only option available. If you had a recurring need for document preparation, you hired full time secretaries and paid them the market rate, plus all the related costs of having on-site personnel for that purpose. And even then, you ran the risk of having too few in the event of big surges in work or unexpected off-hours projects, or too many when your attorneys were busy in court, in depositions, in meetings or elsewhere.

Alternatively, many attorneys have simply begun typing their own documents in spite of the fact that the typical attorney dictates at a rate of over 100 words per minute, but types at less than 50 words per minute (in addition to the reduced time available to devote to billable work).

No more. With SpeakWrite you use our staff for just the work you want, and only when you want it. You are never understaffed or overstaffed at any time. And because you do not have to guess at or estimate these staffing needs, you are likely to save a substantial amount of money. You can use the accompanying cost calculation/comparison charts to see how much.
