SpeakWrite Application for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android Offers Quick and Cost-Effective Transcription Services to Legal and Business Sectors
With Smartphone App from SpeakWrite, Dictation Takes on A Whole New Meaning
AUSTIN, Texas (Feb. 1, 2010) – SpeakWrite, the nation's leading on-demand transcription service, is giving customers one more way to upload dictations, conversations, speeches, photos and other material with this month's launch of its new App for iPhone, Blackberry and Android.
Already, SpeakWrite's 35,000 customers get professional transcripts typed by trained professionals delivered by email in about three hours, and they can use a variety of methods to record and send material.
This new smartphone App takes SpeakWrite's ease of use to the next level, allowing people to capture audio and photos on their smartphones and upload the content on the spot. For example, an attorney working after hours or outside their office, or an insurance adjuster drafting a report, can describe their findings verbally into their smartphone, insert photos taken on that phone, upload them to SpeakWrite and have the first draft sitting in their email about three hours later.
SpeakWrite is a free Application allowing users to:
• Record Audio — Users can record and store any length audio
• Transcribe — Users can submit audio files to SpeakWrite, and receive a transcribed document back within a few hours
• Dictate + Photos — Users can dictate comments on photos taken with their smartphone, then receive files back with the comments and photos integrated into a single word processing file
• Record and Transcribe Telephone Calls — Users can record telephone calls on their smartphone and receive complete written transcriptions of conversations
SpeakWrite customers already use digital and analog recorders, phones (including cell phones), faxes of handwritten notes and other means to have their material recorded for transcription, but with the mobility, flexibility and power of the smartphones, the process just became much more versatile and valuable.
A variety of occupations use SpeakWrite’s services including:
• Attorneys — to generate correspondence, pleadings, legal briefs, etc.,
• Adjustors and Appraisers — to document facts and circumstances from offsite locations
• Inspectors — to record results of compliance and inspection work
• Authors — to capture ideas as they occur to easily prepare drafts
• Police — for daily reports, investigations, witness interviews, and preparation of necessary supporting legal statements
• Salespersons — to capture the results of sales calls, meetings and customer communications
• Students — for written transcripts of class lectures and term papers
• Anyone — wishing to quickly and reliably capture information and generate written records of them
"We've spent more than a decade developing the systems, tools and processes to quickly and reliably produce transcriptions for attorneys and other users across the country" said Richard Jackson, SpeakWrite’s President and CEO. "This new smartphone App makes our service even more user-friendly, as busy individuals ‘on the go’ can record and upload valuable information from anywhere, anytime using their iPhone, Blackberry or Android smartphones, and still get a written transcript returned to them in a matter of hours.”
