Sign Up
Visit our secure Sign Up page and fill in your personal and billing information. You will select your own 10 digit account # and PIN. You may use your phone number as your account #. If you already have an iDictate Telephone account and wish to also submit files from your Blackberry, you will need a separate "iDictate- Blackberry" account.

Pause-Resume Prompts
The VR+ software has a feature which allows you to pause, and then resume dictating.

Upload Templates and Forms
At this time Blackberry users are not able to utilize templates or forms.

Retrieving Your Finished Jobs
When your transcription is finished, it will be sent to you by email. In addition, you may Log In and retrieve it from our website. You may also retrieve a copy of your voice file. In order to view your finished jobs, you will need your account # and PIN.

Security-Blackberry
Every available precaution has been provided to assure the security and confidentiality of dictated information and other materials submitted to us. We think you will find the system provides nearly infallible protection for your work, and in almost every case, the security and confidentiality should be dramatically better than the safeguards you currently use.

To begin with, your information cannot be retrieved by anyone other than you and iDictate. All work is transmitted from your Blackberry directly into the iDictate main computer, which is inaccessible to all outside sources. From there, your dictation is retrieved directly from our server by a randomly assigned typist, again with outside access impossible. The typist is unable to see who submitted the file and to whom it will be sent. The finished transcription is sent directly back to you via e-mail and can only be accessed by you or someone in your office with your personal password.

Privacy
The purpose of our Privacy Policy is to disclose our use of and protection of "personally identifiable information," which is information that can be associated with a specific individual or which can be used to identify a specific individual (more).

Billing
Your typing charges are billed to your credit card two to four times per month. The cost of each of your dictation jobs is detailed when you log in to your account. After you log in, click on "Billing Detail" at the top (right). You can select whatever date range you want to see.
