Stellar Service
Arrendale is an outstanding business with a very competitive transcription platform that we are extremely pleased with. We have been highly impressed with the quality of the products we use, and all the staff are kind, professional and efficient. Their services are highly recommended.
PROSI like most of all that this product works like it's supposed to and I don't spend my time having to contact them with issues. I rarely ever have to reach out to them for support. If and when I do need to reach out, my issue is always resolved expeditiously.
CONSThere isn't anything I don't like about Arrendale.

Above and Beyond
Arrendale helped make a very difficult time much easier for our facility. When we unexpectedly had to replace our transcription vendor, Arrendale was right there with us identifying possible companies as a replacement. Their experience and knowledge was critical. Arrendale partnered with our IT team to get us up and going quickly and continued to be available until we were comfortable with the system. The client's satisfaction is very important to them. That's a quality that isn't easy to find these days.
PROSWhen our previous transcription vendor closed their business, Arrendale identified another vendor we could use and assisted us in a very quick turnaround. Arrendale is very customer service oriented, their staff are very knowledgable, they are available and always willing to assist.
CONSWe've been using Arrendale for a few years now and I cannot think of any cons at this time. They've always been great to work with.
Reasons for switching to Arrendale
As the EMR progressed and transcription volumes declined, we stopped providing inhouse transcription services and began using a contract service for limited use.

Off-site transcription software
I have been very pleased with the set-up and customer service I have received thus far.
PROSSound quality is superb. The large print and formatting options allow improved accuracy. Editing and ability to make modifications to reports assures satisfaction with end result. The line count provides easy ability to track production.
CONSBecause I am not transcribing directly into physician's EMR, it is extra work on someone else.

Essential Tool For Managing Transcription Workflow and Processes
Using TA+ has allowed us to automate and streamline our transcription business which has led to increased productivity and efficiency.
PROSThe software Transcript Advantage (TA+) is user-friendly and the interface allows users to manage all aspects of transcription workflow and processes including managing users, document types, jobs, reports and billing. A turn-key solution for managing a transcription company.
CONSThe software is only compatible with Internet Explorer web browser, which is not a big deal since our office staff was familiar with this web browser.
Reason for choosing Arrendale
The TA+ software has been a wonderful asset to our transcription business, but the customer service and tech support, those people behind the scenes that support the software, they are fantastic and a big reason why we have continued to work with Arrendale Associates year after year.
Vendor Response
Hey Sunil, Thank you for your feedback! We are delighted to hear about your positive experience with our system. There is a free extension for Google Chrome called IE Tab, and while it is active, TA+ can be utilized fully in Chrome. Viewing and editing documents does require Internet Explorer or the IE Tab Extension in Google Chrome, but the other activities available work with all major browsers, and even from your tablet or smartphone! We would be happy to assist you in getting set up with this method if you wish, just give us a call.

User perspective
I have been on this platform for years, first as a director of HIM and now a transcriptionist part time. It has been very reliable and the support staff is excellent.
PROSIt is easy to access, easy to use, and the equipment is maintained off site so is updated and maintained on a regular basis, not relying on our own staff to do so. I also like to be able to access this from my phone or iPad so I can watch when I have new jobs to transcribe.
CONSI think the only improvement I can think of is the issue we have had lately with telephone access. It has happened a couple of times where our physicians could not call in to dictate, but that is a rare occasion.
Reasons for switching to Arrendale
The price of Dictaphone became extremely outrageous.
Vendor Response
Hey Janelle, Thank you for using our platform! We apologize for the call-in dictation downtime your clinicians have experienced. Construction near our data center resulted in a voice carrier fiber cut and we had to work with the carrier and data center to restore connectivity. We know that even rare downtime is still too much! We have recently added an extra layer of redundancy to our connectivity by installing a second fiber bundle to our servers, entering the data center from a separate location. We have additionally attained an escalated TSP priority level for dictation through the FCC and Homeland Security.

User-Friendly Transcription Platform
My staff, MTs and clients have been very happy with the services that Arrendale has provided. IT and customer service support have been outstanding from day one. We are looking forward to a long relationship with Arrendale.
PROSArrendale has provided us with a platform that is very user-friendly for our clients and most importantly our MT teams. MTs are able to build their own shortcut libraries within the system so that when they get a new machine there is no need to transfer libraries over to the new machine because it is built into Transcribe+. Our clients love how easy it is to e-sign their notes as well as how easy it is to download their notes. We were able to move our clients into the new platform without disturbing the workflow of the providers and their staff members. Our MTs are more productive in the Arrendale platform.
CONSOne issue we have with the Arrendale platform is the rtf code that is used, is not compatible with the client EHRs in that dashes do not import as dashes. We were able to find a work around within the system which works for our staff and the clients' EHRs.

Love it
We have really been happy with Transcript Advantage easy to use. easy to train on and the doctors love it
PROSWe really like the ability to have everything at our finger tips. The doctors really like the phone feature to transcribe on the run. when we need back up they are always there and quick to respond. Great company
CONSThe only thing I would change would be that some of the dictations will get stuck on phones and down load 1-2 days latter.
Reasons for switching to Arrendale
needed up dated program
Vendor Response
Hey Carolyn, Thank you for the review! The mobile application requires a stable connection to either WiFi or a cell tower in order to submit dictations to the server. If connectivity is impaired, the app will attempt submission again once it is restored. If connection is stable and the job is still not going through, restarting the app or the phone itself will resolve the issue.

Very easy platform
Nothing specific, just good support and ease of use. It really helps to have something transcription friendly to move around in.
PROSVery easy to use and maneuver around in. We were able to move from previous system to this without many problems. Very user friendly and able to understand. Support services are amazing as well.
CONSHonestly about the only thing I would really change so far is the fact voice files are only held a short time and I think that should be longer plus Admin needs the ability to download voice files off of TA+ to listen to on home computer.
Reasons for switching to Arrendale
more efficient and cost effective. Up-to-date.
Vendor Response
Hey Shelly, We appreciate the kind words! The length of time audio is retained in our database is flexible and varies depending on the contract.

Transcript Advantage Review
Easy to find, listen to, and allocate jobs. Several ways to search. Easy to track productivity.
CONSAfter our last upgrade, we lost the Document Content function. We really miss it and are very disappointed we no longer have it.

Transcript Advantage
This product provides a very easy platform to learn on and to use. There are so many processes that occur seamlessly in the background, freeing up that extra time to focus on transcribing each report and not manually entering information that could be automated.
CONSHaving worked on multiple different transcription platforms, I can't honestly say I have any cons to point out about this particular product.

Great product and awesome customer service!
We have been very happy with the product. The best part is the customer service and quick response any time we have a question or need help.
PROSVery easy to install and use on a daily basis.
CONSWhen a physician puts in a stat report, the TAT is 60 minutes. They often do this erroneously and when we change the stat option, the TAT still remains at 60 minutes.

Behavioral Health Transcription option
I am very happy with my decision to switch to Transcript Advantage and very much appreciate the excellent attention to detail the company provides.
PROSI looked at several platforms before settling on AAI. The platform was perfect for my needs, while maintaining all HIPAA compliance and providing ease of use for the providers. The option of a cell phone app was a plus for sure.
CONSThe instructions are a little cumbersome. Some bullet points or condensed version would be nice.
Reasons for switching to Arrendale
More options for the providers, i.e. telephone dictation, handheld and cell phone app
