Converting DS2 or DSS to MP3, explained
Converting a recording and typing it up are two different jobs. If typing is what you need, you can leave the conversion to us.
Why people search for a converter
DS2 and DSS files come from dictation recorders. They often won't play in an ordinary media player, so the usual advice is to turn them into MP3 first.
You can skip that step with us
We open DS2 and DSS files. Send the recording as it came off the recorder and we work from the original.
Not sure your file will open?
Email ds2genie@sogoodmail.co with the file type and a line about what it is. We will tell you plainly whether we can open it.
