Transcribe long Philips DPM4000 dictations report after report, as a typed draft.
A five-hour batch of Philips DPM4000 dictation is a typed draft in about 10 minutes: copy the files off the recorder, convert any DS2 that the upload refuses, and upload. Twelve 45-minute reports a week add up to 540 minutes, just past the $6 pack's 500, so the $12 pack of 2,000 covers the week with 1,460 left.
From DPM4000 to draft reports
Assessors, surveyors and caseworkers dictate in the car. The office receives hours of audio.
Off the recorder
Philips dictation recorders usually save DS2 files, and some models and settings record MP3 or WAV instead; check the recording format in the DPM4000's settings. Connect it by USB and the files can be copied from the recorder as a drive or collected by the Philips dictation software into its folder.
Convert only if refused
If the upload declines a DS2 file, use the conversion in your Philips software, where your edition offers it, and upload the MP3 or WAV. The box here handles 500 MB per file; a larger one continues on the main upload page, still up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Several reports dictated into one long file are fine; the chapters split them by topic for you.
A week, then a month
Twelve 45-minute reports make 540 minutes, which the $12 pack of 2,000 covers. Over four such weeks the total is 2,160 minutes, past 2,000, so the $24 pack of 5,000 fits and leaves 2,840 for the following month. Credits never expire.
What each report becomes
A draft with a chapter at each report, timestamps to check a figure, and a list of the addresses, reference numbers, dates and amounts dictated. The brief on top gives the main findings, so whoever reviews can see the week at a glance before reading every page.

FAQ
Philips DPM4000 dictations, answered.
How long does a five-hour dictation batch take?
About 10 minutes once uploaded, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. One 45-minute report is back in under 2 minutes.
Which file format does the DPM4000 record?
Usually DS2, the Philips and Olympus dictation format; check the recorder's settings for other options. If the upload refuses a DS2, convert it to MP3 first.
Is there a Philips integration?
No. WhipScribe has no integration with the DPM4000, Philips software or any Philips cloud service. Copy or convert the file, then upload it.
Which pack fits a reporting team?
One person at twelve reports a week uses 540 minutes, on the $12 pack of 2,000. A month of that is 2,160 minutes, on the $24 pack of 5,000. A single five-hour batch alone is 300 minutes of the $6 pack of 500.
Are there limits on file size?
Each file can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Before a first pack, uploads stop at 2 GB, and larger files start once a pack is bought.
Where are the dictations processed?
On our own servers; recordings are never used for training. Remove the file and transcript from your account once the report is filed.
