Transcription Software Eases Pressure on Legal Professionals

Transcribing legal documents has become a common aspect of any job description in the legal industry.

Law firms and legal professionals routinely utilize digital dictation to prepare any number of documents and files, including briefs, legal letters, reports, deposition statements, memorandums, court proceedings and public hearings. This can make for a mountain of digital audio files that need transcribing.

Legal professionals can ease the burden of their transcribing duties by utilizing digital transcription software. Such tools make the task much easier and faster to transcribe legal documents. They provide tools and functions that make a recording easy to follow with the best possible sound. Easing the burden of the process means those tasked with transcribing documents can reduce the turnaround time of the task, while also ensuring the finished products are as accurate as possible.

And once the file is entered to a system, it is easily transferred between secretaries and fellow legal counsel.

"Using the outdated cassette tape technology would be like using a rotary dial cell phone", states Paul Ross of American Dictation Corp. "It just does not make sense when the available technology is considered"  Cassette recording quality is questionable at best and the transferring of data is not secure and cumbersome, requiring physical tape delivery.

The benefits of digital technology are perhaps most evident during the file transfer phase.  Voice files can be automatically transferred to the legal secretary via simple network mapping, e-mail, or FTP file transfer, or a combination of all three.


Transcription software and tools for legal professional and a wide range of other industries are available at American Dictation Corp. . There, professionals can also learn all they need to know about deploying a digital dictation and transcription platform.
