Testimonials

"Every book, article, and complex email that I have written for the last several years has all been done initially through iDictate.  Professional, timely, responsive.  Highly recommend."

David K., MD

"Speed, quality, responsiveness, care - this is my consistent experience with idictate.  They are my go-to dictation partner."

Julie A.
Pawling, NY

"I am an author, trainer and consultant who has a national practice ---I travel a lot. Idictate was one of the first services I ever contracted for and it has been my lifeline ever since. Over thousands of dictation jobs, they have never, ever, 'lost' a job or failed to meet a deadline. I am nominating them for sainthood!"

Amy S.

"I use idictate to transcribe podcasts and find them fast, reliable and competitively priced. Excellent service, highly recommended."

Scott H.
Austin, TX

"We are very happy with the service, and highly recommend Idictate.com. For several years we have been working with the same provider to transcribe our depositions, case notes, interviews and field reports. In early 2010, we decided to evaluate our options. After discovering Idictate, we liked what we heard and decided to test their service.

After testing for a few months we polled our attorneys and field investigators, we found that the responses were all extremely positive and more. The turn-around time to get the files back was far more impressive than we had expected and were used to.

Lastly, I have found their customer support to be extremely responsive… And the change to Idictate is saving us a lot of money as well.”

### 1/5 — Deleted my Executive Meeting

*2019-01-29*

My job is to take minutes at important meetings for a CEO of a large company. I used iDictate to help record my first meeting in case I missed anything. It recorded fine, but when I went back to listen to it everything deleted. I went to change the name and when I went back everything was GONE. I contacted customer support and they were no help since and I quote “that couldn’t be possible, that’s never happened before.” Well I was super super careful not to touch any delete button. I literally pressed SAVE and it deleted itself and I was left with nothing. I will never use this app again and will not recommend it.

### 4/5 — Great service, accuracy and quality

*2017-01-24*

I am very impressed with the speed, accuracy and quality of the finished documents. There are only a few changes I need to make, and I am happy to finish those myself as I will format the document tonight for submitting tomorrow. This has broken the back of the work I had to do and saved me hours of time since I tend to type with four fingers!
I have not used an online transcription service before but will certainly use you again, and recommend your company to colleagues.
Thanks you

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2016-12-09, version 4.1*

I used Idictate for a number of projects and they are my "go to" dictating service. Easy to upload, accurate turn around time - options to rush the file. Amazing customer service when I needed some assistance. There's no need to shop for dictating services anywhere else.
