Tips on Transcription and Digital Recording

1) Emails usually don't work when transferring sound files. Basically sound files are too big for most email systems, in addition file transfer is completely insecure with email. If you see a transcription website stating email is their preferred method of clients sending files - be cautious!

2) iphone, Android apps etc. No need!....... Even the cheapest mobile phone (£5) has a facility to voice record. Simply record on your mobile the usual way and upload files securely via the web.

3) SECURITY...

#"Email" = not secure, period.

#"SSL Upload button" on a website = secure transit only one way, the transcribed document is emailed back (therefore not secure).

#"We have a secure server" *ehem*, yes a lot of the larger transcription companies claim this, however do they have a secure ISP ;p Their ISP can access any server they want at any time...interesting thought.

# "Our secretaries use a web based platform and therefore they can not save any documents on their home computers"........what was that , a flying pig ? .....try pressing the key between F12 and Scroll lock when a "secure" word doc is open :)
