Transcribe long Olympus DM-720 recordings dictation and meetings alike.
Files from an Olympus DM-720 upload here directly, and a two-hour meeting or a stack of dictation is back as text in about 2 minutes per audio hour. The first 20 minutes are free, and a $6 pack of 500 minutes covers seven hours of dictation with 80 minutes left over.
Two jobs, one recorder
Dictate in the car, record the afternoon meeting, upload both in the evening.
Where the files are
Plugged into a computer by USB, the DM-720 appears as a drive and each recording sits in its folders as a separate audio file, usually MP3, or WAV if you chose a PCM mode. Copy them out and drop them on upload page, one or several at a time.
Dictation that reads as written
A dictated report comes back as continuous text you can paste into a document and tidy. The names, numbers and dates you spoke are listed separately, so you can check every figure against your notes before anything is sent.
A meeting with its structure
A long meeting on the same recorder comes back with chapters at each agenda item, a brief with the decisions, and speakers named in the summary and quotes. Play any line back from its timestamp when a wording is in doubt.
The cost of a working week
Seven hours of dictation and meetings is 420 minutes, which fits the $6 pack of 500. A heavier week of 20 hours is 1,200 minutes and fits the $12 pack of 2,000, and unused minutes carry over with no expiry.
How dictation usually gets typed
The recorder is quick. The typing afterwards is the bottleneck.
✗ Typing it yourself
Dictation piles up when the only route to text is a person with headphones and a foot pedal.
- A day's dictation waiting for a typist
- Meetings over an hour refused by apps
- Mistyped figures nobody catches
- No record of where a sentence was said
- Files renamed and lost in email
- A monthly plan for occasional use

FAQ
Olympus DM-720 recordings, answered.
How long does a DM-720 file take?
About 2 minutes per hour of audio, so a two-hour meeting takes about four minutes and a ten-minute dictation finishes in well under a minute.
What does a week of dictation and meetings cost?
Seven hours is 420 minutes and fits the $6 pack of 500. The first 20 minutes of your first recording are free, and the minutes you do not use stay on the account.
Are DM-720 files too large to upload?
No. An MP3 hour at 128 kbps is about 58 MB, and an hour of 44.1 kHz stereo WAV is about 635 MB. Before your first pack uploads go to 2 GB, then 5 GB, with 10 hours as the length limit.
Can I upload many short dictation files at once?
Yes. Drop several files together and each one becomes its own transcript in your Library. Nothing needs to be joined or split, unless a single file passes 10 hours. Name the files on the computer before uploading if you want the Library to read like your own job list.
Does it work for dictation in other languages?
Yes, in 99 languages detected automatically. Korean, Japanese, Hebrew and Portuguese dictation all come back in the language spoken, with no setting to choose.
What formats can I download, and what happens to the audio?
Choose TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and you can delete any file and its text when you are done.
