  • Digital Dictation Solutions

    Digital dictation is the recording and editing of the spoken word using an electronic file format that can be re-played and managed on a Personal Computer. This method of dictation offers several significant advantages over previous cassette-tape based methods

    • The typist or author can move instantly to any point within the audio recording to review or edit.
    • Audio can be inserted at any point without overwriting the following text.
    • Files can be transmitted via FTP, email, or transfered over an office LAN.
    • Multiple typists can easily share large dictation files
    • Jobs can be prioritized and routed to specific typists
    • CD quality sound improves transcription accuracy and speed.
    • The ability to report on the volume or type of dictation and transcription outstanding or completed within an organization.
  • Transcription Management Solutions

    Dictation workflow management solutions are client/server software packages running on dedicated servers that are designed to improve the efficiency of transcription in industries that depend heavily on transcription, most commonly in medical transcription, law offices, accounting or surveying firms. The software packages allow for the efficient and secure transfer of audio files and transcribed documents over a LAN, WAN, the Internet, Citrix, Terminal Services or Telephony. The workflow element of these advanced systems also allows users to share audio files instantly, create virtual teams, outsource transcription securely, and set up confidential send options or 'ethical walls'. Digital Dictation workflow software is normally Active Directory integrated and can be used in conjunction with Document, Practice or Case Management systems. Many also offer Speech recognition modules that can be integrated as either front end or back end solutions
