| Nature
of work that we intend to outsource: |
| There
are 2 types of work that we outsource: |
| Type
1 |
| 1. |
This
work has to be executed online. This
is NOT FTP-based work where you receive
voice files and send the transcripts
back. |
| 2. |
All
the files will be processed by voice
recognition engine (VRE). Once the VRE
processes a file, it gives the transcript
output at an accuracy ranging from 80-98%.
You will have to ONLY proofread this
transcript, and you will be paid charges
for PROOFING only for this job. |
| 3. |
VRE
cannot output proper transcript for
some physicians. For these physicians,
you will have to someone transcribe
the job manually. You might want to
proofread this once again before sending
the client too. For this job, you will
be paid transcription rates. |
| 4. |
VRE
takes 30-45 days to recognize and give
automatic transcript. Until then, you
are expected to transcribe for which
you shall be paid transcription rates. |
| 5. |
You
can only use MT professionals who have
prior experience in direct submission
to transcribe/proofread our work. |
| 6. |
Using
2 people to execute one job will not
make our work profitable. You should
use only one person to proofread and
probably can use 2 level for transcription
work only. |
| Type
2 |
| 1. |
This
work has to be executed online using
our software. This is NOT FTP-based
work where you receive voice files and
send the transcripts back. |
| 2. |
All
the files will have to be first transcribed
manually. If your MTs are capable of
uploading the work directly to the client,
then you can do so. However, if you
want to have it proofread by another
level, then that option is available
in the software, and you may do so.
After proofreading, you will have to
upload the files directly to the client. |
| Who
need not apply: |
| 1. |
Companies who are based out of Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Coimbatore are least preferred since we have our own production centers in these cities. |
| 2. |
People
who are wanting to start an MT company
and want MT work outsourced from NTS
India for that company. |
| 3. |

lines to be submitted direct. |
| 5. |
Companies
who need one more level of proofing
support forever by NTS India before
submitting the work to the client. |
| 6. |
Companies
who want higher rates than what is proposed
already. |

to be quoted every time you talk/write
to anyone in NTS India. |
| 4. |

setup, manpower, and give a test at
your premises to check the quality of
work that your staff can produce. |
| 5. |
Once
you pass the transcription test, you
will have to come down to Bangalore
along with your production manager to
sign the vendor contract with NTS India. |
| How
to go about once selected? |
| 1. |
You
would need to come down to Bangalore
for a presentation of the software platform
that you would be executing our work
on. Duration could be 1-2 days depending
on the personnel's performance and understanding
on day #1 of induction. |
| 2. |
One
person has to be the head from production
department with MT background who would
require to go back and educate his/her
team and extract quality work from them. |
| 3. |
The
second person should be from technical
background to understand the installation
of the software and bandwidth requirements,
foot pedal adjustments, etc. |
| 4. |
The
third person would be the director or
authorized signatory of the company
who would be signing the work execution
agreement. |
| 5. |
The
person coming here would have to transcribe/edit
at least 4-6 files during the orientation
program to better understand the platform
and get all concerns/queries addressed
on executing live jobs. |
| Miscellaneous
facts that you need to know: |
| 1. |
A minimum
of 95% of your work needs to be uploaded
to client from your premises, and a
maximum of 5% of the work can be pended
for blanks/doubts. |
