- What it measures
- This figure assumes the server is busy only for the 42 hours of audio, so it is the cost when the server is fully used by one person. A server that sits idle most of the month costs more per hour of dictation, and a server shared by many users costs less.
- How it is calculated
- 383.98 dollars per month / 42 hours of audio per month = 9.14 dollars per hour of audio. The 42 hours is the illustrative heavy user from the guide, 2,520 minutes a month.
