File Formats Accepted

We can accept many different types of audio file formats. The ones which we regularly support are listed on the left of this page.

If you find that the audio file format you wish to use to save your transcription files is not on the list please contact us as we may be able to help you. 

You can use almost any software that records an audio file in one of the supported formats. Some people use professional digital dictation software and others simple sound recordings.

We really don’t mind as long as the audio quality is good.

Digital Dictation Systems

There’s a wide range of digital dictation systems that we work with. We really don’t mind who your software provider is and almost any digital dictation system can be used as long as it can produce a supported audio file format and it can be sent to our transcription team.

The simplest way to get a file to us is by email. We can accept files by ftp or by use of folder synchronisation software, whichever you choose. You can let us know which staff are authorised to send us the files and we will provide them with the email address to send the audio files to.

We have many clients using equipment ranging from single handhelds up to enterprise based solutions. You can use a simple headset that you might use with an internet telephony service like Skype or you can also purchase very inexpensive USB controlled voice recorders or professional handheld dictation machines.

Software even exists for recording on Mobile PC’s, Blackberries and 5th Generation iPod’s.

Just call if you need any advice.
