Tips For Effective Professional Dictation

Remember  that you and  the person who transcribes you work are a team
and that you are working together to achieve first- class work in the shortest possible time. Remember to use good dictation habits. Here are
some tips to help you be a better letter-perfect author

1.  Take that pipe, cigar, gum or candy out of your mouth

2.  Plan your work before you dictate. Remember this simple formula for effective dictating: READ, THINK,  ORGANIZE and DICTATE.

3.  Identify yourself, state the kind of dictation you are going to give: letter, memo, report, etx. And the type of stationery to bo used.

4.  Speak clearly and distinctly in a firm, natural voice. The tone best suited for telephone conversation is the best suited for dictation, too.

5.  Spell unusual and difficult proper names, cities and words. And don’t forget to spell those words that sound alike.

6.  Give any special instructions such as unusual spacing, sub-paragraphs, tabulations etc.

7.  And finally, relax. Mentally visualize the person to whom you are writing and just imagine you are talking to them on the telephone

DAC I-Channel Lite Transcription Made Easy

Posted in DAC Digital Recorders by admin on May 19, 2009 No Comments yet

iChannel-Lite manages voice files that are sent to a shared folder on the network server (or the transcriptionist’s PC). Thus you have a low cost way to efficiantly manage your transcription needs. Coupled with our Voice Solutions VIS-200 PC-Dictate station and/or the Olympus DS-4000, DS-5000 and the Philips DPM 9600 digital portables you have a winning combination.

Features and Possibilities of the iChannel-Lite System:

  • iChannel-Lite can be used with the VIS-200 PC-Dictate station and the Olympus DS-4000 as well as other premium digital recorders.

  • iChannel-Lite does not require a Voice Solutions server, yet manages the voice files in a similar manner as if our system were present.

  • iChannel-Lite allows a secretary to re-direct a specific dictation to another secretary using the same shared folder. This is ideal for most law firms since most attorneys’ dictations are usually directed to his/her secretary. If she needs help she can re-direct the dictation to another secretary.

  • iChannel-Lite automatically handles the deletion of completed voice files based on the number of days set in each secretary’s user settings.

  • iChannel-Lite can be upgrade to a standard iChannel Player for use with a system as the customer’s need grow beyond ten secretaries. Upgrades are easy and free of any additional costs to the dealer.

  • iChannel-Lite can be used as a stand alone player or can be combined with an iNet Player or iChannel Player giving a transcriptionist the ability to interact with a Voice Solutions system via the Internet/Network or play voice files from a folder on her PC.

  • iChannel-Lite plays many voice file formats, Dss & Wav files as well as voice files created on the Voice Solutions Call-In Dictation System.

  • iChannel-Lite can be used to play voice files from a Voice Solutions Call-In System that have been emailed to a home transcriptionist or put up on a FTP Site for her to download. Even files from our older models (that have been upgraded to their latest software version) can be exported and played with the new iChannel-Lite Player.
