In the former option, the matter is dictated on a digital recorder. A local computer is used to download the digitally recorded dictations which are then transferred to the transcription company’s secure servers. The transcriptionists would download the files from the server. You may also utilize a telephone for dictation purposes. With the provided numbers, direct dictation to the secure servers is possible.

On the other hand, if you give the company a letter or other document to transcribe, attention would have to be paid to achieving accuracy of wording, phrasing and grammar. You need just provide the company with a sample and details of the format you require and professional transcriptionists will complete your project in that format. Format preferences can also be printed or digital, MS Word or PDF and so on. Whatever be you requirements, you can discuss them freely with the service provider. File Transfer Options There are two popular modes of secure transfer for transcribed files.

FTP – With FTP, a link is established between your computer and the company’s server. Transfer is possible to the company and back to you. Turnaround times are customizable so as to be able to accommodate urgent projects also. Pricing would depend on the clarity of dictation, size of the project, expected turnaround and other factors.
