It would be difficult to find a person who has never deleted something and then immediately regretted it. One slip of the mouse or mind is all it takes for a file to be gone permanently. Sure, a quick reaction and a bit of luck will have you find it tucked away in your recycle bin, but wait too long or delete it from an external server or temporary file folder and you’ll soon be tearing your hair out as we all have done at least once or twice before.
What Archiving Service does Sterling Transcription offer?
As a part of your secure, online account which you upload audio files to and download transcripts from, a subsection is created called Archived Documents.
Once archiving is turned on (on request via email or phone), returned transcripts will automatically save here once complete. This section is protected the same way the rest of your account is, and you will be able to view and download all transcripts that have been returned to you. Not convinced? Let me list a few further benefits of the system.
Three Key Benefits of Archiving Your Transcripts
Only You Have Access To Your Stored Transcripts
Particularly important if you are normally using a shared server/computer to store your transcripts. This covers both a confidentiality issue of protecting your files and an accident-proof way of making sure a colleague doesn’t mistakenly remove the files from your hard drive.
You Will Always Have A Copy Of A Transcript
If you do wish to make changes to the document, naturally you will download and save it to your own storage device. However, having an original copy of the transcript is necessary on occasion, and always good to have on hand. Even if you don’t use the archiving system as your only storage system, having a backup never goes astray, particularly when it is the original document you ordered and paid for.
You Have Access To Your Files Anywhere
Provided you have an internet connection. Rather than having to save copies of your transcripts to multiple devices, with our Archiving system you are able to access your documents 24/7 from any computer. Basically, you will never have to remember to move files onto the appropriate devices, and those instances where you forget to will no longer be an issue.
