How can I encrypt the confidential audio I record on my iPhone?

The .m4a files my iPhone records are too big to email, what can I do?

I'm a lawyer/doctor/surgeon what app can I use for dictation?

Dictation and voice recording on smartphones is nothing new. Just take a look at iTunes or Google Play and there are hundreds, from free to very expensive. But the vast majority do not tick all the boxes when you ask the serious questions of your app.

Encryption is probably the biggest issue. If you record confidential audio then you MUST ensure that the audio is encrypted between the device and the recipient of your audio, usually your transcription typist or typing pool.

File size usually comes next. You are a busy professional, you don't have time to wait for your dictation to send across the cellular network or wifi, you need smaller highly compressed yet still high quality audio files.

Digital Speech Standard Pro (or .ds2 audio files) have been designed to be small, highly compressed and can be encrypted. The .ds2 audio file format is used by the worlds leaders in dictation; Olympus, Philips and Grundig.

Olympus have an iPhone and Android app called Olympus Dictation which ticks all of the above when you combine the app with an Olympus Dictation Delivery Service (ODDS) Subscription.

How Do You Configure Send to Server in the Olympus Dictation App for iPhone and Android?

The new Olympus Dictation App recently released in iTunes and on Google Play lets you record your voice, like a digital voice recorder, and send it via email. But if you buy a 12 month subscription to ODDS - Olympus Dictation Delivery Service you can also send via Olympus' new cloud file transfer service known as the dictation portal.

In the app, which is free and can be used free with some limitations, there is no mention of the ODDS subscription license. In fact the only clue, although not really a clue at all more a frustration is what do you enter into the "Send to Server" configuration in the app.

Luckily our main blog has a full run down on the differences between the free version of Olympus Dictation and a version with a licensed ODDS subscription. Click the title link to read moe.
