Adjustable Word Weights Added in Version 2.2 of Hot Neuron's Clustify

BRYN MAWR, Pa. – (PR Newswire) – March 18, 2010 – Hot Neuron LLC announces the release of version 2.2 of its ClustifyTM document clustering software, featuring user-adjustable word weights and other improvements. Clustify groups related documents into clusters and labels each cluster with a few words to tell what it is about, allowing the user to explore the document set, and efficiently and consistently categorize documents. Version 2.2 gives users the ability to adjust the weighting of words used for clustering in order to encourage clusters to form around words that are of special interest. The new version also features an improved near-duplicate detection algorithm, more flexible export of results to other e-discovery tools, and more useful cluster sorting. Clustify can generate concept-based clusters, or it can require documents in the same cluster to contain identical passages of text in order to detect near-duplicates (i.e. different revisions of the same document). It also has an automatic categorization capability to reduce the amount of manual labor necessary for categorization when new documents are added to a dataset. It can handle millions of documents on a typical desktop computer. About Hot Neuron Hot Neuron LLC is an information retrieval software and services company located in Bryn Mawr, Pa. It owns and operates MagPortal.com (www.magportal.com), a search engine and directory for finding online magazine articles.

WinScribe Makes a Case for Digital Dictation + Workflow

Chicago (PRWEB) January 27, 2009 – WinScribe, world leading provider of digital dictation and workflow solutions, announced today that company representatives will be demonstrating the latest release of its award-winning Digital Dictation Workflow Management Solution at LegalTech New York taking place February 2 – 4, 2009 and Legal IT London February 4 – 5, 2009. The timing of these two events comes at a critical point for global law firms who now, more than ever, are faced with the challenge of doing more with less due to the current economic crisis. “A recently published report advises law firms to take several immediate actions in response to setbacks caused by the world’s economic crisis,” explains Amy Clevidence, Global Marketing Operations Manager for WinScribe. “Firms have been encouraged to analyze and trim unnecessary expenses, reduce excess capacity and address performance issues. We believe these suggestions are relevant to a firm’s technology. Taking the opportunity to improve or upgrade firm technology can reduce many system expenses, increase efficiency in order to be more productive with a leaner staff, and provide dramatic performance increases.” WinScribe’s Digital Dictation Workflow Management Solution addresses each of these suggested actions. With WinScribe, firms experience cost savings as a result of an immediate increase in company-wide work sharing and productivity. WinScribe ensures that dictation is immediately available to support staff for typing which improves document turnaround time and maximizes productivity. The results of these benefits can be substantial to a firm such as the case of UK-based Beachcroft, LLC: “Digital dictation has allowed us to restructure existing teams enabling us to improve our secretarial to fee earner ratios. As a result, we have saved around £470,000 [approximately $715,000] over the last year.” “WinScribe is a fully customizable, flexible system that meets the needs of firms of all sizes,” adds Clevidence. ”WinScribe products are built on Microsoft architecture and make use of SQL & Microsoft .Net technologies. With a built-in software development kit (SDK), WinScribe can be tailored to provide the maximum benefit to end users. Benefits to authors include support for manufacturer independent input devices such as Grundig, Philips and Olympus digital handheld devices and speech microphones and mobile devices such as Windows Mobile, BlackBerry and Nokia Smartphones. Because the system is web-based, users can access it anytime from any location where an internet connection is present which enables staff members to work and continue to be productive regardless of their geographic location. In addition, WinScribe offers two distinct licensing models: traditional client licensing as well as a Software-as-a-Service subscription platform. Our clients have a wide array of options available to them when it comes to the WinScribe solution positioning us to implement and customize a platform that works best for each unique firm we serve.” With WinScribe, support is never an issue. WinScribe has four global support centers located in the United States, United Kingdom, and New Zealand. In addition, WinScribe supports over 150 sales partners worldwide who provide technical support to clients on a local level. WinScribe clients thus have access to a dedicated center for standard business hour support within their region while also offering them the comfort of knowing they always have access to assistance via our 24/7 global support network.

Payne Butler Lang Utilizes Voice to Streamline Dictation Process

Auckland, NZ (PRWEB) September 22, 2009 - WinScribe announced today that Queensland based Payne Butler Lang has deployed its award winning digital dictation workflow management suite integrated with speech recognition and has cut transcription time by 50%. In mid-2008, Payne Butler Lang began to look at their dictation processes and recognized the need for a more robust, reliable product to replace their current, aging digital dictation solution implemented four years prior. The firm was looking for a product that would allow them to build on the strengths and benefits they already knew a digital system could offer and include a more comprehensive workflow solution to handle their daily dictation workload. The objectives and requirements were clear. Malcolm Sinclair, Practice Manager at Payne Butler Lang, explains, “We were already using a digital dictation system within the firm, but it was very old fashioned technology that we were beginning to outgrow, and the product really did not have the back-up facilities we required. The idea of a digital dictation product with speech recognition capabilities really appealed to us as it would allow us to adequately improve efficiencies within the firm.” Once the need for a new system was identified, research was carried out in the digital dictation marketplace to find the right fit for the organization that would meet their needs. Malcolm describes, “A digital dictation solution with speech recognition functionality was really what we were looking for. During the process I spoke to a number of dictation suppliers and discovered that there weren’t many suppliers out there on the market that have that component.” WinScribe was also chosen due to the superior support behind the product. “Ultimately, when purchasing something like this, I like to spend some time with the supplier and see for myself what kind of support and back-up they give. I did spend some time with the WinScribe team observing how they operate and was very confident after this visit that they would be able to provide the support behind the product that we needed. That was a big contributor behind our decision to purchase WinScribe Dictation.” After a successful pilot period that involved the managing partner and his practice administrator, the WinScribe Dictation with speech recognition was rolled out firm-wide, user by user, with authors dictating using a mixture of Olympus DS 4000 and 5000 digital handheld recorders to import the dictation files into the WinScribe system. “It has been a very easy transition from the author’s side. They only have to dock their handheld digital device on its docking station. The dictation files are uploaded to the WinScribe server and sent to the appropriate secretary automatically,” Malcolm said. Since implementing WinScribe Dictation with speech recognition in late 2008, the firm has seen significant improvements on their previous system. The most benefit can be seen from the secretary point of view. They find the system very easy to use overall and enjoy the visibility of being able to see the dictations that come through that have been marked for speech recognition. The real benefit has been the time savings experienced when typing dictations. “We conducted some in-house testing that involved secretaries typing dictations with the old system, versus using WinScribe Speech Recognition, and we were surprised by the results. Typing was 50% faster using WinScribe with speech recognition, and this has allowed them to focus more on their core business responsibilities,” Malcolm explains. This means that WinScribe’s speech recognition functionality has allowed the firm to streamline their dictation process and increase overall firm efficiencies. “From a productivity perspective, we have experienced significant increases in terms of getting the final document to our clients in a timely manner. Our managing partner is currently getting around 98% accuracy with the system. Even when we have new people in the firm start using it, they always start off with around 80% and rapidly improve from there as training on the voice profile is improved.” Malcolm further adds, “Our system is set up in quite a unique way to allow authors to use templates. For example, one of our managing partners currently utilizes pre-form letters through WinScribe’s speech recognition component, whereby he speaks the name of a particular document that he would like to dictate into (he currently has a list of around 80 forms pre-loaded onto the system to choose from); and the document template appears on his screen ready to dictate. This means fewer corrections, when the secretary receives the document and faster output.” About WinScribe WinScribe is a world leading provider of digital dictation software supporting business requirements for digital dictation, transcription, voice recognition, and workflow management. Founded in 1995, WinScribe has offices in the USA, UK, New Zealand, Australia and Switzerland, with more than 100 sales partners in over 25 countries supporting more than 350,000 users worldwide.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 6, 2009 - After a careful selection process comparing vendors WinScribe and BigHand, fast growing Minnesota law firm Hellmuth & Johnson have chosen WinScribe’s Digital Dictation solution. “We simply liked the WinScribe solution better than BigHand’s and have come to expect great support from MacTek, our local WinScribe supplier,” said Susan Marsh, Chief Operating Office at Hellmuth & Johnson. With a pressing need to replace aging analog equipment the law firm decided to investigate the current offering from WinScribe and to compare it to the current BigHand product.

Marsh further explained, “We have seen improved turnaround time in the submission of lawyer dictations and document creation with WinScribe Dictation.

Butler Snow Leverages WinScribe to Make More Efficient Use of Staff Resources

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 24, 2009 - WinScribe, the market innovator in digital dictation, transcription, and workflow management solutions announced today that Mississippi-based Butler, Snow, O'Mara, Stevens and Cannada, PLLC has deployed WinScribe in an effort to boost support staff efficiency and allow the firm to do more with less. Prior to its adoption of WinScribe, 50 of the firm’s 160 attorneys utilized analog tapes to capture dictation. Those tapes were handed off to the attorney’s secretary who was responsible for the transcription of the audio. Secretaries were spending up to 25 hours a week transcribing dictation. “It was our desire to make better use of our secretarial skills,” explains Ken Jones, Director of Information Technology at Butler Snow. “We wanted to free our secretaries to do more than just transcribe. We knew that if we could reduce the amount of time each secretary spent on this time consuming task then we could increase the number of attorneys that each secretary supports.” Attorneys have replaced their analog tape recorders with Olympus digital handheld devices. These devices enable attorneys to dictate both in and out of the office. When the attorney is ready to submit files for dictation, they simply dock the device. WinScribe automatically uploads the files and delivers them to the appropriate staff members for transcription. WinScribe’s digital dictation workflow management system allowed the firm to restructure its support staff team into a centralized group that handles transcription more efficiently than as structured previously. Dictation is automatically routed to the group and processed as received. Butler Snow’s efficiency gains did not stop there. The firm has also adopted WinScribe's Nuance integrated speech recognition to further enhance productivity. “Speech recognition was a key factor for us. We did not want to just shift the workload. We wanted to find a way to make the dictation to transcription process much faster,” said Jones. The firm initially provided ten attorneys with the ability to take advantage of speech recognition. Today, the firm offers speech recognition to twenty-five attorneys. These attorneys take advantage of WinScribe’s server-side speech recognition integration capabilities. With server-side speech recognition, the speech recognition process is carried out at the server level unbeknownst to the attorney. The attorney simply records his or her dictation as usual, and the recording is converted to recognized text within the server. No special words or phrases are required so attorney work practices are completely unaffected. WinScribe’s server-side speech recognition technology deploys automated adaptation technologies to allow continual accuracy improvement without adding overhead to the transcriptionists’ workflow. As a result, secretaries simply proofread an automatically produced text document rather than typing the document from scratch. “WinScribe has enabled us to meet our goal. We have provided our secretaries with the tool they needed to reduce the amount of time spent handling dictations. This has allowed these secretaries to support more attorneys than before,” concludes Jones. About Butler, Snow, O'Mara, Stevens and Cannada, PLLC Butler Snow is a full-service law firm with more than 160 attorneys representing regional, national and international clients from offices in Jackson, Mississippi, Memphis, Tennessee, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Business Integrity Launches ContractExpress.com Document Assembly in the Cloud

Leading law firms subscribe at launch; immediately benefit from low cost and ease of use New York, February 1, 2010 – Business Integrity today launched ContractExpress.com, the world’s first premium document assembly product to be delivered exclusively as “software as a service,” requiring no set-up costs or infrastructure. ContractExpress.com builds on Business Integrity’s trusted DealBuilder technology, which is used by many of the world’s leading law firms and corporate legal departments. Adding scalable, secure web-based delivery, it is designed to extend the reach of document assembly from large law firms to the medium and small practice market, as well as corporate law departments looking to sidestep complicated corporate IT protocols. The service, available at contractexpress.com, makes powerful document assembly easier for lawyers to deploy and use than ever before. ContractExpress.com offers users Word-based template design tools, workspaces and a “how-to” help system, all at a low monthly cost. “Document assembly has always been something of a ‘Cinderella’ technology, never quite making the big time, said Richard Newton, Business Integrity’s, Executive Vice President. “We put that down to two factors: the cost of IT set up and the difficulty in creating useful document templates. Most lawyers aren’t interested in becoming XML programmers.” ContractExpress.com solves both problems as a simple-to-use, cloud-based solution. Most lawyers don’t use document assembly, despite the pundits’ predictions of it being a game changing technology, especially in a world of fixed fees and reduced legal budgets. ContractExpress.com is designed to change that. Template design is easy, using only Microsoft Word and a mark-up style that follows the way lawyers naturally draft documents. The product also requires no IT investment and is free for the first 60 days with a low monthly fee thereafter. “We are trying to put technology that once was the preserve of a select few firms within reach of any practitioner,” added Newton. Several law firms in the US, UK and Europe have signed up for ContractExpress.com from launch, including international firm Simmons & Simmons. David Fitch, Director of Knowledge Management at Simmons & Simmons, commented, “We see document assembly as a necessary tool to maintain an innovative, competitive and sustainable practice. At the heart of ContractExpress.com is DealBuilder, which has a proven pedigree as a document assembly application and is capable of meeting our exacting requirements. Cloud delivery makes the technology easier and more flexible to deploy to our fee earners and clients”. While newly available in the cloud, Business Integrity’s ContractExpress DealBuilder “on premise” solution has been implemented at dozens of blue-chip law firms and law departments around the world. “ContractExpress is great, and is the future of document assembly,” said Scott Rechtschaffen, Managing Shareholder of Knowledge Management at Littler Mendelson in San Francisco. “ContractExpress enables us to deliver more value to our clients for less cost,” added Ellen Kinsinger, CIO at Poyner Spruill in Raleigh, NC.

Young Basile Hanlon & McFarlane, P.C. Deploys Omega LegalVX

SCOTTSDALE—February 2, 2010—Young Basile Hanlon & McFarlane, P.C., a prestigious intellectual property firm with offices in Michigan and California, is deploying Omega LegalVX, the financial and practice management software system developed by Omega Legal Systems, Inc. Young Basile selected Omega LegalVX because the innovative legal software suite fully integrates with their custom-built case management system. The 20-attorney firm specializes in providing a complete range of intellectual property legal services to clients in technology–intensive industries, including automotive, life sciences, software and electronics. This requires the firm to maintain and provide detailed reporting—a function that was greatly lacking in their previous software setup. “Over the past couple of years it’s become increasingly clear that our legacy system wasn’t meshing well with our case management system. As a result, our employees had to duplicate processes, pull manual reports and enter data into multiple platforms. It’s not a productive or profitable way to work,” said Young Basile’s Managing Director, Karen F. Yancura. “Omega’s products offered the integration we were looking for and the system’s robust reporting capabilities, along with Omega’s client service commitment, were icing on the cake,” said Andy Basile, Jr., Chairman of the Board. “Like many of our clients, Young Basile needed more than just an off-the-shelf solution,” said Don Gall, President and Founder of Omega Legal Systems, Inc. “Omega LegalVX was created for firms who need flexibility in a software solution. Its robust time, billing and accounting system can be tailored to the firm’s specific requirements, not only to increase front and back office productivity, but also, and more importantly, firm profitability.” About Young Basile Hanlon & McFarlane, P.C.: Young Basile provides intellectual property legal services, including patent and trademark applications, counseling, litigation, licensing and commercial technology transactions. With offices in Michigan and California, the firm serves the needs of the clients in diverse industries, including automotive, software and electronics. Its clients range in size from start-ups to public universities to Fortune 500 companies. For more information, visit www.youngbasile.com or call 1.248.649.3333. About Omega Legal Systems, Inc.: Omega is a privately held Phoenix-based company that provides mid-to-large size law firms an integrated financial and practice management software suite that sets the standard for return on investment, system performance and service.

Don’t Allow Traditional Email to Damage Your Business or Law Practice: Secure your sensitive attorney and client communications with Dialawg™

INDIANAPOLIS, June 1, 2009 — Communication security is more important than ever—in fact, your livelihood as an attorney or businessperson may depend on it. As lawyers and clients rely increasingly upon the benefits of instantaneous electronic communication, they are often unwittingly exposing themselves to security flaws inherent in traditional email and file sharing. Although certain online services have been developed to address these issues in piecemeal fashion, unified and secure communication specifically for the legal professional has been largely unavailable at an affordable price. But why is security so important, particularly in email? Imagine you send a traditional unencrypted email with confidential information about a pressing business decision to your client, with the contract you need to discuss attached. Despite the measures you have developed within your own organization to prevent outside attacks, your email leaves your computer network and travels to your client’s sever. During that process, the following could occur: - Interception: an eavesdropper could capture and read the message, or obtain the login credentials to your account; permitting: - Privacy Invasion: because intercepted information could be copied and transmitted publicly, or used to obtain additional information; leading to: - Identity Theft: whereby the message could be modified and redirected, making it appear to come from you; which perpetuates: - Uncertainty: as to who actually sent the message and what the original contents were; which results in: - Loss of Control: over your own messages, when, how, and to whom they are transmitted, and where they are eventually stored and accessed. Until today, solutions to these problems were complicated and expensive. Dialawg, LLC, through it’s secure online interface at www.dialawg.com, is pleased to announce its new, 128-bit encrypted communication platform, built with the needs of busy attorneys and their clients in mind. The easy-to-use system provides: - SSL Encryption: for all written messages, files, and voice messages, with the ability to send password-protected email links to non-subscribers; - Platform Compatibility: across PC, Mac®, iPhone®, and Blackberry® platforms, regardless of existing network setup; - Practitioner Focus: though usability enhancements (including visual recipient confirmation) designed specifically for law practices, large and small; - Seamless Integration: with existing mail programs such as Outlook®, voicemail retrieval with transcriptions, and most modern web browsers; and - Unlimited Possibilities: with file attachments up to 1 gigabyte a piece, and a connection-based cost structure for unlimited written messages and file sharing. Failing to secure communications properly could have enormous unintended consequences for attorneys and clients, and businesses across the county are beginning to expect solutions from their legal service providers.

Don’t Allow Traditional Email to Damage Your Business or Law Practice: Secure your sensitive attorney and client communications with Dialawg™

INDIANAPOLIS, June 1, 2009 — Communication security is more important than ever—in fact, your livelihood as an attorney or businessperson may depend on it. As lawyers and clients rely increasingly upon the benefits of instantaneous electronic communication, they are often unwittingly exposing themselves to security flaws inherent in traditional email and file sharing. Although certain online services have been developed to address these issues in piecemeal fashion, unified and secure communication specifically for the legal professional has been largely unavailable at an affordable price. But why is security so important, particularly in email? Imagine you send a traditional unencrypted email with confidential information about a pressing business decision to your client, with the contract you need to discuss attached. Despite the measures you have developed within your own organization to prevent outside attacks, your email leaves your computer network and travels to your client’s sever. During that process, the following could occur: - Interception: an eavesdropper could capture and read the message, or obtain the login credentials to your account; permitting: - Privacy Invasion: because intercepted information could be copied and transmitted publicly, or used to obtain additional information; leading to: - Identity Theft: whereby the message could be modified and redirected, making it appear to come from you; which perpetuates: - Uncertainty: as to who actually sent the message and what the original contents were; which results in: - Loss of Control: over your own messages, when, how, and to whom they are transmitted, and where they are eventually stored and accessed. Until today, solutions to these problems were complicated and expensive. Dialawg, LLC, through it’s secure online interface at www.dialawg.com, is pleased to announce its new, 128-bit encrypted communication platform, built with the needs of busy attorneys and their clients in mind. The easy-to-use system provides: - SSL Encryption: for all written messages, files, and voice messages, with the ability to send password-protected email links to non-subscribers; - Platform Compatibility: across PC, Mac®, iPhone®, and Blackberry® platforms, regardless of existing network setup; - Practitioner Focus: though usability enhancements (including visual recipient confirmation) designed specifically for law practices, large and small; - Seamless Integration: with existing mail programs such as Outlook®, voicemail retrieval with transcriptions, and most modern web browsers; and - Unlimited Possibilities: with file attachments up to 1 gigabyte a piece, and a connection-based cost structure for unlimited written messages and file sharing. Failing to secure communications properly could have enormous unintended consequences for attorneys and clients, and businesses across the county are beginning to expect solutions from their legal service providers.
