Outsourcing your Back Office

When using an audio transcription service, you will often have situations where you need to get content off a CD uploaded to the company doing the transcription.  In most cases, companies such as eDecree will have an online file upload service available which will accept audios in any digital format.  It is cheaper to upload the audios this way than snail mailing the CDs to the company.  Here are the steps you could follow using a free application available online to extract the audios from the CD and upload them in mp3 format. 

- You will have to download an application like CD-DA X-Tractor so that you can “rip” the CDs and convert the audios on each of them into mp3s.

- The application I have mentioned above is available online completely free, and can be downloaded from http://xtractor.sourceforge.net/intro.html.  It will let you extract the audios from the CD into mp3 format and copy it to your PC.

After extracting the file, if you want to forward the file to eDecree to have it transcribed.

- Register on the eDecree website at https://www.edecree.com/RegistrationUI.aspx.

- Once you have registered, it will automatically take you to the page where you can upload your audio files.  Please enter the required information in the form and attach your audio files.
