Witnessing the move to digital dictation
For many years legal professionals have used dictation machines to save
valuable time and enhance the quality of their work. Olympus firmly believes
that the future of dictation now lies in the evolution from analogue (tape) to
digital, which will bring with it even greater efficiency. Rather than recording
onto a physical tape, recordings will be processed as digital audio files that
can be edited and distributed over any existing IT network or via the Internet.
Digital dictation also improves security – and everybody knows how crucial
this is today, especially in the legal profession. While tapes are almost
impossible to protect against theft or unauthorised access, digital dictations
can be encrypted and
password protected – Our DS-5000iD also offers a biometric fingerprint scanner.
They are easier to store and archive too, consuming zero physical space will
less chance of loss and damage.
Digital Dictation improves your work
Wherever your business takes you, digital dictation makes it easier to edit
recorded files and achieve better results in less time. For instance, text
passages can be inserted into a file at precisely the right place with no need
to omit any important aspect.
Support staff can also access files directly for immediate transcription and
distribution. Add to this your attached verbal annotations and a more efficient
process is guaranteed.
Olympus expertise
Olympus Professional Dictation Systems can be tailored to fit within your
existing working environment, providing workflow transparency, better
utilisation of resources and optimum cost efficiency. Every minute of digital
dictation means a real return of investment and makes it easier for you to
deliver better service to clients.
Building the case for digital dictation
Being a market leader within the digital dictation market means that Olympus UK
is a name you can trust to implement your dictation systems; and with dedicated
specialist Olympus Digital Dictation Centres across the UK who are able to
provide comprehensive training, installation and support for the whole range of
Olympus voice processing products you know you are going to get the service you
deserve.
