October 4, 2011October 4, 2011 by @dictates

Yes we are now back stocking the amazing LiveScribe Echo SmartPen range at Dictate Australia.

Dropbox – File Sharing At Its Best

August 5, 2011August 5, 2011 by @dictates

One common question at the Dictate Australia HQ is about files, specifically how can we get large audio files created on digital voice recorders to our colleagues or to a typist. With high quality audio recording the norm now and huge amounts of storage on all digital voice recorders audio can and often is very large in file size. Unfortunately email has not moved with the times and the majority of mail servers restrict email attachments to between 5mb and 10Mb in size, probably rightly so, email is not an ideal way to move large files around.

This is where Dropbox comes in.
