Send dictation files via email

SpeechExec allows dictation files to be transferred via email directly to the transcriptionist or any other recipient.

Note

If you are not connected to the Internet, the QuickSend option (if activated) is not available. All dictation files will then be saved in the Outbox folder. You can send these files later as soon as you are connected to the Internet.

Set up an email profile

To transfer dictation files directly by SpeechExec without using the computer’s default email application, you need to set up an email profile.

Note

To set up an email profile:

  1. Click Settings > General settings on the menu bar to open the Settings menu, and select Delivery > Email from the list on the left side.

  2. Deselect the option Use your default emailing program to send dictations (QuickSend).

To transfer dictation files manually:

  1. Select one or more dictation files from the work list.

  2. Click the icon_submit-for-email.png Submit for email button.
