A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE SECURE SERVER.
The secure server is an internet based service specifically designed for the medical transcription industry, using SSL enryption of all information upon uploading and returning of files. Clients upload work via the secure server login and secure password into your "dictation-in file" where you upload your audio file. Your transcriber/secretary will pick up this work, complete, proof read and the document will be uploaded onto the server for your collection. You will receive an E-mail to notify you that there is a document pending in your transcription complete folder.
