Abstract: Transcript in OTS refer to any electronic file that can include a PDF, word or an image file, and is issued by an issuer. The original transcript system consists of transcript servers that register and host users. These transcript servers talk securely to each other through the transcript network server. Each OTS-ID that refers to a user can act in one of the roles of issuer, applicant or reviewer for a transcript that is defined by the user type. When a transcript is issued or submitted only the envelope for transcript information is sent. A view request causes the transcript file to be downloaded directly from the issuer. OTS provides web based access of transcripts and enables sharing of transcripts by the applicant to multiple reviewers, without the issuer having to explicitly share it to reviewers.
