Jotomi’s Dictamus dictation app for iPhone and iPad can be easily configured to upload voice files directly to a My Docs Online folder.
In Dictamus follow these steps:
- Settings
- Sharing
- Add Sharing Destination
- USA (our servers are located in the USA)
- My Docs Online (Dictamus has My Docs Online-specific configuration)
In the Dictamus My Docs Online configuration screen:
- Enter the User (should be the provider’s ID, NOT your admin ID)
- Enter password
- Select “Folder” to enter the path information (Example: Acme Transcription/Doctor Smith/Voice Files)
Hint: Dictamus configuration lets you use the “/” that appears on the regular keyboard, and will automatically convert to “\”. Dictamus will also automatically “escape” blanks in the folder path.

This is something that I would really like to offer my clients. I think people are using their iPhones and iPads during meetings etc and this is a service that a lot of people are going to want because of the ease of use. Do they have to subscribe to my docs online themselves if they want their own login?
To use it with My Docs Online the person doing the dictation needs a login ID, but it should be one within the group account of the transcription service. The administrator of the My Docs Online group would set up folders, the customer’s login, and permissions, then the customer would use that login ID/password and the folder path to where the voice files are to be transfered. Also, the administrator can set “upload notification” for that folder so that an email is sent to the transcription service when new voice files are transfered, thus speeding the workflow.
