zipped files

[Carp2stein]

Can zipped files be imported into Delegate? We have clients that will dictate one file per patient and then send us 30+ wav files zipped into one file...will be able to have them send the zipped file or will it require them to attach 30+ separate files? Thanks

Delegate doesn't recognise archived / compressed files.

 

Perhaps if each dictator had an auto-import source loading from one of your local folders? You'd still have to manually unzip to the right folder when you received each ZIP file, but at least you wouldn't have to manually import each recording into Delegate.

I guess the question then is, if each dictator has an auto-import source does that mean they'd each need their own email address and be set up as a "speaker" because we have some offices with upwards of 20 doctors. So we'd literally need hundreds of "speakers" set up rather than just one client set up as a speaker with all of their doctors files staying within that client.

Each client could have one speaker account (with one auto-import source), where all files from all doctors from the same client come from the same folder. But then you wouldn't be able to keep track of which doctor each dictation came from.
