Telephone Dictation Services
CONVENIENT AND ACCESSIBLE
Most people are never too far from a phone. The telephone’s convenient and, since there is no additional dictation equipment to purchase, it can be the ideal speech to text tool. Phone dictation gives you the same options as other recording devices such as fast forward, pause, and rewind. Simply pick up the phone, dictate your information, and our transcriptionists handle the rest!
Digital Recorder Dictation Services
The convenience of being mobile
If you prefer to dictate via a digital recorder, we support that recording method as well. With our open standards dictation technology, available device options include Olympus, Sanyo, Grundig and Philips. We support nearly any device that is equipped with software to copy audio files to a computer. Compatible audio file formats for our dictation services include: .WAV, .DSS, .VOX, .MP3, .RAW, .G726, .OGG, .G721, .AVI, .MP2, .WMA, .DPF.
PC Microphone Dictation Services
All you need is a microphone
If your computer is equipped with a Philips, Dictaphone, Olympus or Grundig microphone, you can use it to dictate directly into the Athreon system. These brands are also compatible with our speech recognition technology. When dictating by microphone, you won’t have to worry about tying up a phone line or even leaving your desk.
Dictation Server Interface
Preserve your existing investment
We understand some institutions have invested in their own dictation technology and wish to preserve that investment. Athreon can work with your existing dictation system if you wish to host your own technology. Our interfacing team can develop an interface between your system and our dictation servers. In some workflow scenarios, we may even be able to securely link our production staff directly to your system.
