WinScribe solutions are now available for use with Blackberry phones, allowing better mobile digital dictation services than ever before.

Voice Technologies’ key partner WinScribe has announced new software for use on Blackberry Smartphones that will allow users greater functionality and usage out of their mobile device. The new software allows users greater flexibility in overwriting and inserting recordings captured on their Blackberry Smartphones. Already recognised as a simpler, faster, and more secure solution for digital dictation on-the-go, this new software update furthers WinScribe and Voice Technologies’ reputation for innovation.

This announcement is welcome news for the legal sector, where Blackberry Smartphones are frequently utilised as dictation devices. Features such as priority flagging within the device virtually turn them into a complete digital dictation suite in your hand. These added features would allow greater turnaround in document production, improving the speed and efficiency of digital dictation and speech recognition.

Heather Wylie, Voice Technologies’ Managing Director, commented: “Voice Technologies and WinScribe are always looking for opportunities to make our clients’ lives easier, and this new development means that digital dictation is now more mobile than ever before.”

As part of a £201 million funding package for NHS Scotland, our innovation and customer focus has won us the National Services Scotland Contract.

We’re pleased to have been awarded the NHS National Framework for Scotland contract for digital dictation and speech recognition, beating off competition from a number of UK and international firms. Voice Technologies were selected above numerous other providers because of their proven track record in deploying successful systems in NHS Trusts across Scotland, developing innovative solutions, delivering tangible improvements through their commitment to customisation and extensive customer support.

This means that hospitals in Scotland now no longer need to go through the potentially time-consuming and costly tender process to set up digital dictation or speech recognition systems, allowing them to allocate their new, additional spending with minimal hassle. Integrated solutions from Voice Technologies can deliver significant savings and create efficiencies in healthcare, helping medical teams to improve turnaround times, become more efficient, reduce costs and, as a consequence, get results to patients sooner.

Heather Wylie, Managing Director of Voice Technologies, commented:

“Voice Technologies can now help hospitals and clinics take advantage of the efficiencies that speech recognition and digital dictation deliver faster than ever before. We’re pleased that our commitment to improving healthcare has been recognised: a welcome addition to the previous awards we have received for innovation and customer service.

This contract has a projected value of over £2 million, and competing against international firms to keep this contract in Scotland has assured us of one thing: that our innovative solutions will help patients to get their results sooner.”
