Abstract: A method and system for transcribing recorded information and delivering transcriptions reduces the costs associated with traditional transcription service providers. A network is used to transfer sound files from a client computer to a transcription service provider server. A background process on the client computer scans for completed sound files and automatically transmits them to the transcription service provider server. A sound file is assigned to a transcriber and when a transcription document is completed, a notification is sent to the client computer to notify the client that the transcript is available.
