#file uploading

Clients using Etranscriber.net to transcribe digital files have to transfer the wav,mp3 and audacity files to us first. This is because we the digital files are needed for transcription. So there are three possible ways in which customers of Etranscriber.net can send in the digital files:

1. Upload To A Dropbox Page

We have partnered with a cloud storage service called Sendspace. We provide the customers with the link to our file upload page. Here they can upload the file directly to our Dropbox account. Note: The maximum file size of one file should not be more than 2Gb. One can transfer unlimited Gb's of files to our account as long as each file size is under 2Gb.

2. Email the direct download link

If the digital audio/video file is already uploaded on the internet then it can be sent to us via email. And we will download the files from the downloadable link to our server. This is a popular option to send us the file. It is commonly used by podcasters, video bloggers. It is also now being used increasingly by authors looking for Ebook audio transcription service. Authors and book writers provide us with the links to the audio ebooks. This is so much easy and convenient for them rather than sending in the cassette tape for transcription.

3. YouTube Transcription

For videos available on video network sites such as YouTube, DailyMotion and Vimeo, clients are required to mail in the URL of the video. We use an cloud based software to download the video to our harddrive and proceed to transcribing from there on. Note: Clients using Etranscriber's YouTube transcription service are recommend to send the downloadable link to the YouTube as it saves us a lot of time from downloading the file. This is especially required in the rush transcription orders where we are racing against time to deliver the transcribed files and documents back to our clients.

So there are basically three option for Etranscriber.net's clients for transferring digital files to us.

Security and confidentiality

Cyber Security is, amongst many, a key focus area. All our workstations are installed with the Award Winning Eset Nod 32 Cyber Security Suite.  Customers need not worry about the security of their files as our systems are running free from viruses, malwares and adwares.

4. An Alternative Option To Send In Cassette Tapes

We also accept cassette tapes for transcription. Customers need to mail in the audio cassette tapes. We recommend using FedEx, USPS and UPS as they are well known for their reliability factor. So there are these 4 options of sending in digital files to Etranscriber.net. Our most preferred method to receive files is via cloud storage services such as Dropbox.com, Google Drive or Sky Drive.

Tips for making files transfers an easy process

Set the voice recorder to output recorded files in mp3 format at 128kpbs of bitrate. MP3 files are much smaller compared to their WAV (audacity for MAC) counterparts. Hail to the classic MP3 format. It's everyone's favorite.

Managing large sizes video file. Since transcriptionists need to listen to the audio only hence it is best to extract the audio from the video using an extraction software. We recommend using Format Factory for this. It is free and easy intuitive to use. Here are step by step instructions for using Format Factory.

I want to share my finding on a recent issue I found in a subdomain of BillMeLater.com (a Paypal service). On 1st March, during my regular course of bug hunting in Paypal services, I found a file uploading issue that allowed me to upload files of certain extensions on the BillMeLater server. Initially I noticed the website was running an outdated version of DotNetNuke (an ASP.NET based CMS) with the file uploader enabled. Allowed extensions were: *. docx, *.xlsx, *.pptx, *.swf, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.jpe, *.gif, *.bmp, *.png, *.doc, *.xls, *.ppt, *.pdf, *.txt, *.xml, *.xsl, *.css, *.zip, *.spin

So for testing purpose I uploaded a file on the server with some text content:
