Santa Monica, CA (MarketWire) January 27, 2009 – As more and more companies seek to maximize profit at any cost, it has left behind thousands of highly skilled workers who want to make a difference in the U.S., but not at VerbalInk.com, a leading U.S. transcription services company.

“Many companies (including some in the transcription industry) may use some U.S. staff and market themselves as U.S. based, all the while still sending some or most of their work overseas,” said JR Wurster, CEO of VerbalInk.com. “Since our inception in 2003, Verbal Ink has refused to outsource any work overseas to non-U.S. citizens.”

As the world waits on newly inaugurated President Barack Obama to unveil his strategy to help pull the United States out of the economic rut, one of the main components could involve restricting outsourcing. The U.S. President had previously said during his campaign trail that outsourcing had stolen several thousands of well-paying jobs from Americans and handed them over to cheaper Indian and Chinese labor.

“We hope that more U.S. companies start following our lead in not outsourcing work,” said Wurster. “We've done this for practical reasons (typically we have found transcripts are a much higher quality), but also to support our local economy as well as the overall national economy. This has been and will continue to be how we do business as we expand and grow.”

Verbal Ink offers affordable transcription services for almost any audio format with voice to text transcription services for interviews, dictation, business meetings, conference calls, focus groups, press briefings, lectures, radio shows, panel discussions, and seminars as well as typewritten to text and handwritten to text transcription services.
