There are several variables that effect how long it takes for a file to send from your Smartphone.  Things like Internet speed, signal strength, dictation size, recording quality, etc. all effect the time it takes to transmit an audio file from your smartphone to the Philips Dictation Hub Server.

I’ve run some test that will help clarify transmission times and shed some light on expected file size.
