The latest iPhone 3.x software has a new built-in application called Voice Memo. This creates voice memos! You can use your iPhone or Touch to dictate anywhere, sending your files back to base by phone or WiFi. It creates m4a files and your transcriptionist only needs Express Scribe software, our USB pedal, perhaps a headset, and they’re up and running. What could be simpler?
NCH Software - writers of Express Scribe - have a free dictation iPhone app Pocket Dictate, complete with insert mode, which can automatically create a compressed file and email it for transcription; more details here.
There are 34 other dictation / recording apps on the App Store too, so there is plenty of choice - go to the App Store, in the iTunes Music Store and choose Dictation. Check the file format that the app creates and whether Express Scribe can play it immediately, and whether it’s easy to convert it into a supported format.
Your transcriptionist only needs Express Scribe software, our Infinity USB pedal, perhaps a headset, and they’re up and running. What could be simpler?
iTunes, iPhone and App Store are trade marks of Apple Inc and are acknowledged. Apple is great.
