How does it work?

1. User dictates, saves and categorizes a recording with the d2u Transcriber app
2. Audio is securely uploaded to the dictate2us transcription platform
3. Dedicated typist transcribes the file into a Microsoft Word document
4. An editor amends any errors or formatting issues
5. Document is proofread and an extra level of editing is applied if needed
6. Finished document is emailed to you or made available for download

How do we charge for transcription?

We charge per minute of audio rather than per word, line or time taken to type. We believe this is the fairest way as you will know exactly how much a file will cost before uploading.

It is worth noting that people dictate 3 to 4 time more quickly than they type. A 10-minute dictation file could take up to 40 minutes to transcribe. With d2u you only pay for the 10 minutes.

How long does it take to transcribe?

The d2u app allows users to get their transcribed documents back extremely quickly. As soon as your encrypted file arrives at our servers, it is decrypted and assigned to your regular typist. Once edited and proofread, our online transcription platform will email a copy of the finished document or, if preferred, a link can be sent to download the document straight to your phone, tablet, PC.

We return work in a Microsoft word document and can type into your personal letterhead or template.
