Express Dictate is voice recorder software that works like a dictaphone and a dock station for a portable recorder. You dictate using your computer or a portable dictaphone or notetaker and send your recordings to your typist or assistant by email, FTP or over your computer network. Express Dictate can dramatically improve the turn around time for work and, most importantly, lets you work from wherever you want. Features ~ Digital audio recording with superb signal processing quality (32 bit DSPs are used). ~ Record to wav, mp3 or dct formats (only dct supports encryption, sender information and notes). ~ Automatic non destructive record editing with multiple record modes including record-insert, record-overwrite and record-at-end. ~ Voice activated recording so long silences in dictation are not recorded. ~ Assign priority to individual dictations. ~ Ability to prompt for patient or file data before recording starts and supports the VIS Laser Barcode Scanner. ~ Send recordings directly to a typist immediately by email, over a computer network or via FTP or save to your hard drive. ~ Supports recording encryption if you are required to secure patient or client data for transmission over the internet (HIPAA compliant). ~ Ability to 'dock' normal analog and digital handheld dictation recorders so even if you don't record with Express Dictate you can still use it to transmit recordings to your typist via email. ~ Attach additional files to the recordings or type in notes for your typist or for the record. ~ Ability to recover sent dictations. ~ View "Sent Work Progress" and backup sent dictations to hard drive or CD. ~ Audio compression to reduce file and transmission size. Codecs supported include PCM, wav, mp3, gsm and many more. ~ Can be controlled by system-wide hot keys (so you can record while working in other screens).
