Server
based. Grundig and Philips (Windows - Terminal Server - Citrix)
When loading digital dictation onto a terminal
server environment we simply need to know are the users in your firm running a
PC or a thin client (dumb terminal). The option is either one or the other and
this will determine the digital dictation solutions to purchase.
Server based dictation is a digital dictation recorder and software that loads and resides on
your thin clients or can be used away from any pc. Normally referred to as an "ENTERPRISE" system. Able to
load and operate within a Windows, Terminal Server or Citrix environment.
Server based dictation allows dictation and transcription by a number of
concurrent users with total flexibility on which users can access the system
at any given time.
You decide how many staff/users can be on the system at once as you
only need to purchase licenses for the number of concurrent users you wish to
have use the system. Depending on recording style the authors can record by either an USB PC based microphones or
a choice of several hand held digital recorders. Depending on the recorder
purchased there are two methods of downloading voice,
either via the download software that accompanies the recorder with an
USB (PC) docking station or via the docking station (we also have available a network (LAN) docking station
for some models. Server based dictation normally offers the most
features. There
is no limit on the maximum number of users allowed. All user profiles are
interchangeable and can log in from any PC within the network. Digital typing
is carried out with a foot pedal and headset connected to the typist computer/terminal
or the docking station that can sit away from the pc. If software you will
view with full on screen data displayed.. Go to
Server based dictation
page to view more.
2.
PC Based digital
dictation and digital transcription systems. Dictation with full edit
ability.
If you
have previously used tape based dictation it would be fair to say that PC
based digital dictation is similar to the desktop tape dictation recorders
used by so many analogue users over the years. A microphone is
attached to your PC on your desk, just like a microphone was attached to your
tape based desktop recorder. The standard microphone we supply allows audio
in and out with some offering a combined mouse (tracker ball) controls so all Windows operations done on the PC can
be carried out with the one hand held device if required. The software is loaded and functions at each users PC
with all voice files normally mapped to a server location. We refer to the PC
based software as interactive as authors and typist can input data with voice
and this would be the main reason
most PC based dictation systems are purchased. Authors have the ability to
direct voice files to any typist as required and author can normally add
comments such as mater numbers, document
type required
or any other instructions that can be entered by the computer keyboard. All
keyboard entries or comments travel with the voice file across the network and
appear in front of the typist before/whilst typing. Voice files can generally
be sort by priority or time required. If an author
also wants to record away from the office this can be done from another PC
based software loaded at another PC or on a separate hand held digital
recorder. Voice files can be sent via network delivery or emailed. All PC
based recording hardware and hand held recording hardware will download into the same
PC based software system so all is interchangeable making it ideal for firms
that want a mixture of some user on PC based and some user on hand held
digital recorders. It would be fair to say this is our most common style of
dictation sold by our firm.

3.
Hand held
Professional digital dictation &
Pro
digital transcription kits.
Dictation with full edit
ability.
As the
name suggest this is a hand held digital recorder, battery power and designed
to be used away from the PC. Having said this it is still used by many authors
when in the office. Recording is carried out directly into the recorder and
saved onto the memory card, ending/saving each voice file (job) as you go by
pressing a save button after each voice file, this button is what locks and
secures the voice job/s before downloading. Example; If you record 5 different jobs to 5 different
people the save button is pressed 5 times, this makes 5 different voice jobs
appear on the screen when downloaded into the PC, The saving of each voice job
separately makes the voice files much
easier to locate and type by the typist. To download dictation that has been
recorded into a hand held recorder you simply connect the recorder to the
cable (or docking station if supplied as some recorders come with
docking stations) and the software will automatically download the voice file to
it's already programmed location. Like the PC based dictation mentioned above
the software is loaded at each users PC with all voice files normally mapped
to a server location. The difference between PC based and hand held digital is
PC based can allow the author to send to one of several alternative locations
after the voice job is recorded. The hand held recorder need to be
pre-determined where they are sent and can not be changed during or after the
download process has started. The reason for the "Professional"
reference when separating the different digital recorders is this "Professional"
range is designed for everyday use compared to the other
hand held style that is not. Professional systems come with more features,
generally the units are stronger in construction, they have the
ability to download into a PC faster and have typing carried out using the
similar "Professional" featured typing software. Automatic emailing of voice
files can also be set up. Nearly all professional recorders offer removable
memory via XD or SD card, depending on brand. Professional systems will also download into
the above mentioned Server based , PC based or Speech Recognition systems we
offer. Basically they are designed for all users that
dictate and also want typing carried out after the dictation is downloaded. Go
to
Philips,
Olympus or
Grundig to
view the range of professional hand held recorders.
4.
Hand held digital dictation
& digital transcription kits. (Non Professional series) Dictation with
full edit ability.
Hand held digital recorder, battery powered and
designed to be used away from the PC. The different between "Professional" units
and these digital dictation series units is we do not suggest the digital
dictation range
for everyday use. They normally come with less
features, are a slightly lesser quality unit, have a less featured
download software. Normally a little slower in downloading voice files. No
ability to connect the recorder and download manually via drag and drop. No
interactive software such as available on the "Professional" systems, no automatic emailing of voice file feature.
But they are slightly cheaper in value. The typing software available is also less
featured but you are able to use the "Professional" typing software. Having said
all of this, the digital dictation units are still very good and reliable for what
they are intended and that is a lesser amount of recording and typing
scenario. Go to
Philips,
Olympus or
Grundig to view more.
5.
Hand held digital note takers that can connect and
download to a computer (PC). No edit ability
Note takers are
very different from the professional hand held digital dictation systems.
Not all Note takers can connect and/or download into a PC. If they
can connect to a PC they don't come standard or may not be able to download or be
accessed with a typing software. If typing is required we suggest the
professional digital dictation series or the standard digital dictation
series.
Generally Note
takers do not have removable memory, typing software access if not available
means no foot pedal capability at all by either author or typist, no
security/encryption for voice files so voice files can be accessed by anybody
so if some level of security is required again view the professional series.
Note taker recording is not designed for legal or medical authors that wish to
record individual jobs and during the job rewind and listen/add/delete such as
the above mentioned professional series hand held digital recorders can do.
Note takers do not offer the ability to edit the recording. Good for general
notes and meetings only.

known fixes/patches/updates/firmware fixes for nearly every digital dictation
recorder, microphone, PC based or server based system. It is important to stay

13. Telephone
dictation. Full edit ability
Simply pick up the phone and dictate into the
Philips Digital Telephone Desktop 9850. It can be accessed and operated using
virtually any commercially-available touchtone telephone, allowing your
transcriptionist to transcribe urgent documents immediately. The moment you
hang up, your recordings can be automatically downloaded via USB to your
transcriptionist’s computer, an FTP server or an e-mail account. This allows
for central file storage which increases security, ensuring that no files are
lost, damaged or accessed by unauthorized persons.Server based digital transcription. Server based transcription loads and resides on your company server. Normally referred to as an "ENTERPRISE" system. Able to load and operate within a Windows, Terminal Server or Citrix environment. Web access for typing or managing. Server based dictation allows transcription by a number of concurrent users with total flexibility on which users can access the system. The licenses are purchased for concurrent users so as an example if you have up to 30 typist in your firm but only have the need for a maximum of 15 to ever type simultaneously you simply purchase and activate up to 15 concurrent licenses, all 30 can type during the course of everyday work with only 15 typing simultaneously. Hot key functions. Philips PC Based digital transcription. Olympus PC Based digital transcription. The software is purchased, loaded and functions at each typist PC with all voice files normally mapped to a server location thus different typist can share folders or folders can be hidden from other typist/departments view if required. The choice is yours. We refer to the PC based software as interactive as depending on the brand supplied typist can move voice jobs, suspend or finish voice jobs plus view voice job details. The main reason the PC based dictation system is purchased is authors have the ability to direct voice files to any typist as required, the author can normally add comments such as mater numbers, document type required or any other instructions that can be entered by the computer keyboard. All keyboard entries or comments travel with the voice file across the network and appear in front of the typist whilst typing. Voice files can generally be sort by priority or time required. Able to be used on Pc or Terminal server applications. Hot key functions. Philips Professional digital transcription. Olympus Professional digital transcription. This is a similar software as listed in the PC based transcription with the only difference it is supplied with the hand held recorder range of units so some features accessed by the authors that are not available on the hand held recorders will not become available in the digital typing software. The software is still purchased, loaded and functions at each typist PC with all voice files normally mapped to different folders that are located in a server location thus different typist can be mapped to different folders. The difference between PC based and Advanced pro may be the typist needing to type for a hand held author may have a limit to the number of folders they can view. Features can vary between brands but refer to the PC based author section to see the difference between PC based and hand held recorders. Digital Desktop Transcription -Professional. The only one like it in the world. A desktop digital unit that comes supplied with foot pedal and headset. Able to be used stand alone/away from the PC or USB connected to the PC. Either insert and type directly from the memory card placed into the recorder or insert and download the voice to the PC and type using the software thus returning the memory card to the author to continue recording. Digital transcription. This is a less featured typing software of the professional digital typing kit. The software is purchased, loaded and functions at each typist PC with all voice files normally mapped to one location, no separate folders or features available. Normally no ability to create more then one location and no sharing or moving of voice files by the typist. no emailing of voice files or ability to log in via Terminal Server. Speech Recognition typing kits. The Dragon Professional software used by the authors can be typed by purchasing one of three digital typing kits. Philips, Olympus or Sony.
