Combining digital dictation with typing is the future of Word Processing. Digital dictation machines are widely available and have almost replaced the old analogue tape machine.
However, the impact of the new technology is minimal. Dictation into a handheld recorder is done in the normal way. Instead of a tape, the recorder has a memory chip similar to that found in digital cameras.
This sound recording is compressed, encoded and downloaded into a personal computer using software already provided with the recorder, simply by plugging the handheld recorder into the computer.
Once dictated, digital sound files can be sent as email attachments or transferred using a range of secure file transfer methods.
Once the file has been received by Digitype, the files are played back using special software to transcribe the encoded files. The sound files are transcribed into standard Word documents generated from templates provided by the client.
The completed Word document is sent back to as an email attachment or using secure file transfer methods. The document is then saved and printed out in the normal way by the client at their office.
By using the existing office infrastructure, anyone with a PC and Internet access can take advantage of this new innovative technology.
