My partner uses an online site called The Medical Transcription Company. He dictates using an Olympus digital recorder, and it uploads to the company site when he puts the recorder in the cradle. The dictation can be downloaded as Word files the next day, and our office staff checks the dictation accuracy and converts into a PDF, which is imported into II on AC. The staff also saves an encounter note on that date in AC, pointing to the dictation as a placeholder.

My partner (as well as yours) should probably try Dragon Medical before spending $1500 per month for transcription. But old habits die hard.
