Professional, timely, responsive. Highly recommend." David K., MD Houston, TX "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. Moscow, OH "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.” John M. Ft. Lauderdale, FL
