DIGITAL DICTATION
Digital dictation is the process whereby speech is recorded and stored in digital format, on a chip, disk, or computer hard drive.
A digital recorder is used in the same way as the traditional analogue dictation machine, but with far greater clarity.
If you require further information about sourcing of digital dictation equipment please contact us.
DICTAPHONES
The digital voice recorder is used like any ordinary dictaphone and linked to a computer when convenient to do so.
The voice file can be easily up loaded to our secure server via the website, where it will be dispatched to your chosen provider for transcription.
Once typed, the word files are returned via the same secure data transfer system ensuring a fast and efficient service.
THE PROGRESS OF DIGITAL WORKFLOW
Using a digital Dictaphone provides certain advantages:
- Recording quality is superior to analogue and doesn't deteriorate over time.
- Unlike analogue the recording quality doesn't deteriorate with repeated playback.
- Editing is easy with digital recording. The speaker can add dictation without erasing any of the existing recording
- It is simple to prioritise certain parts of the recording, this is almost impossible with analogue.
- The recording time available can be several hours.
- The tape never gets chewed up in the machine!
Please remember when considering purchasing a digital recorder, look for one with DSS (Digital Speech Standard) technology, this will allow the file to be compressed ensuring easier data transfer and transcription.
