Just create your own Mechanical Turk account and do the same if you need transcription often. It will save you lots of money.

The main reason I mentioned Mobile Assistant was their security standards with HIPAA… some users (such as myself) require a secure solution (i.e. working with confidential information, it is important that the transcriptionists understand and adhere to HIPAA compliance)

For general Dictation I do think that Quicktate has a great solution!

Thank You.

However, from a time-efficiency standpoint, if your boss had a Quicktate account, you wouldn’t have to type any of these audio notes and you wouldn’t have a sore hand or risk a carpal tunnel injury.

Any he’d get back his transcribed notes pretty quickly 24×7, even at 2 in the morning. A 3-minute audio note is generally finished in 5-10 minutes.

Based on initial user surveys, there appeared to be a greater preference to tag “excluded” notes, rather than “included” notes.

Nevertheless, this issue will be further discussed with our development team.

You may find the transcription of the short notes to be quite beneficial and attractively priced so that you’d want them transcribed as well. For instance, (based on the first 700 words of the Economy Plan), the following transcript would cost five cents ($0.05): “Grocery store, get milk, eggs and bread.”

Reading these “quick reminders” in Evernote would be far more efficient time-wise than listening to them.

Further, the Quicktate transcribers do not have access to the User’s names or contact information.
