iDictate.com Offers One-Hour Voice-to-Text Transcription Service For Only a Penny a Word.

iDictate.com has announced the launch of its new voice-to-text transcription service, utilizing a unique blend of Internet technology and human intervention that will dramatically change the way business, legal and medical professionals obtain transcribed documents on a global scale.

According to company founder Lee Dorfman, "The new service turns any telephone into a dictation device with the finished document either e-mailed back to the user for editing or sent directly to the recipient or multiple recipients within an hour." Customers in North America dial 1-877-DICTATE to dictate their jobs. Dorfman cites cost, convenience,
and speed as the main benefits of the service. English documents are billed at only one-cent per word, with no minimum usage, rush or monthly fees -- substantially less than maintaining a secretarial staff or utilizing competing dictation/transcription services. Foreign language dictation has not yet been priced.

The convenience of the service makes iDictate a perfect addition to the growing list of business-to-business "Apps-on-Tap." Users can dictate medical transcripts, legal pleadings, meeting summaries, letters, or any other document on-the-fly from an office phone, mobile phone, satellite phone, hotel phone, in-flight phone or pay phone. Even persons accustomed to typing their own documents will be amazed by the simplicity and convenience of the system. Documents can also be transcribed by faxing handwritten notes to 877-Dictate, or by connecting hand-held recording devices to iDictate's Internet server via any telephone.

According to Dorfman, the company's transcription turn-around time is superior to conventional alternatives. Most jobs are completed and returned to the client within an hour, and the service is available 24 hours a day. The company is offering its services through its own website "idictate.com," through legal and medical channels and through
wire-line and wireless telecommunication companies throughout the United States and overseas. According to Dorfman, iDictate is an excellent service for telco's to offer to their customers, since it is so easily increases the carriers' minutes of usage over their networks.

The company's typists and quality assurance professionals come with solid credentials, and each is bonded for up to $5 million for any inappropriate use of the information available to them. Further, the company's security system is patterned after the system used by the U. S. government with subcontractors who only view random, unconnected pieces of an overall project. This system of security is virtually foolproof and is almost certainly better than the system most companies use today wherein current typists have access to everything that goes through the office.

According to Carol Ruth Silver, a well-known San Francisco attorney, "iDictate is the best thing since sliced bread." Ms. Silver personally uses the service to create legal agreements at all hours of the day and night.
