The file upload process is very simple and is explained fully on our upload page

but we thought a couple pieces of information may be of use to you:

• Internet service providers advertise their download rates far more than their upload rates and you will find that generally speaking uploading files can take 10 times the amount of time it takes to download. This is the same when uploading any file anywhere not just to a transcription service link TypeOut. You will notice it more when uploading to a transcription service because audio files are usually fairly large.

• You will notice that we use a file delivery system called YouSendIT to upload files. They use a secure, encrypted and effecient system that means drop outs during uploads are kept to a minimum. They also use 128-bit SSL encryption using Class 3 certificates and Server-Gated Cryptography (SGC) which is very similar to most banks meaning that your files are very secure and ONLY the directors at TypeOUt can see these files.

• You may find it useful to use a Ethernet cable connected from your computer directly to your router rather than using WIFI this again will help reduce drop outs during uploads.

• If your internet connection appears to be slow especially during peak times you may find it helpful to sending one file at a time.

• Please be patient whilst uploading and don't click away.

• Technology will progress and upload speeds will become faster.
