Introducing digital dictation systems...

Digital dictation is revolutionising text production for all sizes of organisation that use traditional cassette based dictation / transcription systems.

authors dictate, edit, prioritise, track then send dictations electronically to secretaries who transcribe then deliver the finished documents

In essence digital dictation software allows the dictator (author) to dictate directly to your organisations’ network infrastructure using a handheld microphone, headset, digital voice recorder or other mobile device. A compressed sound file is then transferred instantly to available secretarial support so that it can be transcribed. The secretary could be located at home, down the corridor, at another branch, or could even in an outsourced transcription centre in another country.

Improved dictation process

Immediate improvement to the dictation process can be seen in that, because the file is digital, the recording can be edited by the dictator before being sent to the secretary. It is also possible to indicate the priority of a particular document - something remarkably difficult to do with recordings stored sequentially on a traditional tape - and to log the progress of each particular document through the system. In some systems (such as DictaNet) further efficiencies can be seen through the use of speech-recognition utilised during the process of transcription.

Efficiency savings

All sizes of organisation can benefit from this technology – efficiency savings can be observed with just a single dictator/single secretary setup.
