Dial-2-Dictate Phone Dictation System
Overview
This phone dictation system lets you, and other users, dial
into a computer running Dial-2-Dictate to record dictation. Record,
replay, edit and manage files by pressing numbers on your
telephone keypad. When you have completed a recording,
Dial-2-Dictate will then immediately send the dictation to your
typist for transcription by email, the local computer network or
via the Internet.
With Dial-2-Dictate you can dictate using most telephones. For
example, you could phone indication using a hands-free
speakerphone or a cordless headset in your office, your cell
phone on your way to work, a VoIP soft-phone from your computer or PDA or even a payphone overseas. Whether
you are a single user or a multinational company, Dial-2-Dictate is
suitable for any number of users.
