Our History

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 applied through RFP to be included in the State’s Official Transcriptionist List.


Additionally, OS+ has expanded its service in the legal market to respond to the requirements of attorneys in the areas of depositions and court reporting.  Through this concentration of OS+ resources, the company has works with State certified court reporters that enable us to provide coverage for trials and depositions.


With regards to public hearings and meetings, of particular importance to OS+ is the passage of the Open Meeting Law in July 2010, and the requirements for certified, accurate, and timely documentation of public hearings and meetings held at all levels of government in the Commonwealth.  As the impact of this law has been felt by public bodies across the state, OS+ can provide services to respond to the needs of these organizations.


And of course, throughout our entire existence, our primary asset has been our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction with the finished product.  Based on word-of-mouth and client referrals, OS+ had maintained its presence in the marketplace and continues to flourish based on its emphasis on customized service for each of our clients.
