Speech Recognition

Digital Dictation is a method of recording and editing a spoken word in real-time within a digital audio format.

Digital dictation offers several advantages over traditional
cassette tape based dictation:

•	The user can instantly rewind or fast forward to any point within the dictation file to review or edit.

•	The random access ability of digital audio allows inserting audio at any point without overwriting the following text.

•	Dictation files can be transmitted electronically.

•	Large dictation files can be shared with multiple typists.

•	Digital dictation provides the ability to prioritize work.

•	Sound is CD quality and can improve transcription accuracy and speed.

•	Digital dictation provides the ability to report on the volume or type of dictation and transcription outstanding or completed within an organisation.

Most digital diction systems use a form of audio compression to minimize hard disk space and optimize network utilisation as files are transferred between users.

Digital dictation is different from Speech Recognition where audio is analsed by a computer using speech algorithms in an attempt to transcribe the document. With digital dictation the process of converting digital audio to text is done using a digital transcription software application. It can be controlled via a foot switch which allows the typists to PLAY, STOP, REWIND and BACKSPACE.

There are two types of Digital Dictation software:
1) Standalone digital sound recording software -
Basic software whereby the audio is recorded as a simple file. Most digital sound recording applications are designed for individuals or a very small number of users, as they do not offer a network efficient
way of transferring the audio files other than email, they also do not encrypt or password protect the audio file or offer file management, management reporting or integration features.

2) Digital dictation workflow software -
Advanced software for commercial organizations where audio is still played by a typist but the audio file can be securely and efficiently transferred. 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. Typical businesses using workflow software are law firms, healthcare organizations,
accountancies, educational institutions or surveying firms.

So whether you decide on a Standalone solution or a Workflow Management Solution and regardless of whether you are a large company or a small firm with just the one user; Digital Dictation will allow you to organize and manage your workload more efficiently and work more productively.
