Transcribe long Philips DPM8000 dictations hours of pocket dictation, typed in minutes.
A 4-hour Philips DPM8000 dictation is transcribed in about 8 minutes once you copy the file off the recorder and upload it here, at up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file; an MP3 goes straight in, and a DSS-family file is converted to MP3 first if the upload refuses it. The first 20 minutes are free, and two four-hour sessions, 480 minutes, fit the $6 pack of 500. There is no Philips integration; WhipScribe reads the file you copy.
From the DPM8000 to a draft
The Pocket Memo records in a dictation format or in MP3. Which one you chose decides whether there is a conversion step.
DSS family or MP3
The DPM8000 records in a Philips DSS-family format or in MP3, depending on the recording format set on the device, so check its settings if you are not sure which you have. Connected by USB or its docking station, the recorder shows up like a drive, and dictations can also be downloaded through Philips SpeechExec. Copy the files rather than moving them, so the dictation workflow stays intact.
When the upload refuses the file
An MP3 uploads as it is. DSS and DS2 are dictation formats a general upload may not read, so if the box refuses one, convert it to MP3 first; some SpeechExec editions include a conversion. A file recorded with encryption on must be decrypted with its password before anything else can open it. Heavy files continue on the upload page, up to 5 GB.
A month of pocket dictation, priced
Two four-hour sessions are 480 minutes, inside the $6 pack of 500. An author who dictates for 90 minutes on each of 22 working days produces 1,980 minutes, which just fits the $12 pack of 2,000; a heavier month moves to the $24 pack of 5,000.
The draft you receive
A draft with a chapter for each piece of correspondence, timestamps to check a word against the audio, and the names, reference numbers, dates and sums that were dictated. Treat it as an AI transcript to work from, not a certified transcript and not legal advice; someone still checks it before it is signed.
Where DPM8000 dictations stall

Copy, upload, and the typist checks text instead of transcribing audio.

FAQ
Philips DPM8000 dictations, answered.
How long does a 4-hour DPM8000 dictation take?
About 8 minutes once uploaded, since processing runs at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. Twenty minutes of dictation are back in under a minute.
What does a month of DPM8000 dictation cost?
Two four-hour sessions fit the $6 pack of 500 minutes. A month of 90-minute days, about 1,980 minutes, fits the $12 pack of 2,000, and busier authors use the $24 pack of 5,000. The first 20 minutes are free on a first visit, and packs are one-time, in US dollars, with no expiry.
Should I record in MP3 or a DSS format?
For transcription here, MP3 is simpler because it uploads without a conversion. If your office workflow needs DSS or DS2, keep it, and convert a copy to MP3 only when the upload refuses the file.
Are there limits per file?
A DPM8000 dictation can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Uploads stay under 2 GB until a first pack is bought, and a larger file begins once one is. Anything the Pocket Memo recorded past 10 hours goes in as two files.
Can I dictate on the DPM8000 in a language other than English?
Yes. The language is detected automatically from 99, so a dictation in Dutch, French or Polish needs no setting, and English place names inside them are handled.
Which exports, and is the dictation private?
DPM8000 dictations come back as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, so client names in a dictation do not end up anywhere else.
