Digital Dictation

DigiScribe-XL: the most feature-rich and secure digital dictation system on the marketplace today

DigiScribe-XL is a suite of network-based digital dictation and transcription applications particularly suited for dictation-intensive environments, due to its high level of client customization, workflow logic and interfacing options.

Flexible Dictation Methods

With DigiScribe-XL Digital Dictation, authors have the choice to dictate:

Crescendo phone dictation Over the Phone - landline or mobile. Authors simply dial a specific number and are immediately connected to the central dictation system. They are then prompted for their identification number as well as a case number before they can start recording. The digital dictation can be played, suspended or stopped at any time and then resumed at a later time. Voice prompts can be customized to meet your firm's specific needs.

Crescendo PC dictation On their PC / Laptop. Authors equipped with computers can dictate using a PC microphone while taking advantage of the advanced dictation features offered by the DigiDictate-IP application. Completed voice files are streamed to the main server in real-time and made available to the next available secretary according to the assigned priority level. More on DigiDictate-IP PC Dictation...

Crescendo mobile dictation Using a Digital Mobile Recorder. As soon the Author docks the device, DigiService-IP automatically streams the digital dictations to the main server in real-time and routes it to the next available secretary according to the assigned priority level. No more phone calls, and no more housekeeping in order to ensure that confidential dictations or reports aren't sitting on local PCs.

Crescendo Pocket PC dictation Using a Pocket PC. DigiDictate-CE offers advanced dictation functionalities for the Pocket PC format, allowing Authors to finalize the voice file (i.e.: play, edit, insert, overwrite, delete, and add cue marks) and sign it off all in the palm of their hand. The digital dictation is then transferred to the central database in real-time, without user intervention, as soon as the device is connected to the network (LAN, WAN, WiFi, etc.) More on DigiDictate-CE Pocket PC Dictation... 

Speech Recognition


Speech recognition further accelerates report creation by automatically converting the dictated text into a formatted report. Specifically designed for dictation-intensive environments, Crescendo Speech Processing offers a wide selection of professional vocabularies and modular features to accommodate your organization's specific needs.

On the Transcription side

DigiPlayer-IP allows secretaries to play, control and transcribe CD-sound quality voice files in real-time, directly via their desktop or home-based PC. Focus and control are now maintained on the screen and keyboard rather than on an external device, resulting in reduced fatigue. The use of voice streaming technology means that:

  • No manual download is required
  • Voice can be played prior to complete file download
  • Voice files are not duplicated but always stored and accessed from the central dictation server

From a Supervisor perspective


The DigiScribe-XL management console simplifies Supervisor access to all dictation and system parameters, based on user rights, from any network or remote personal computer. Its extensive display settings, routing capabilities and reporting options allow you to gain full control over the workflow environment and productivity levels. More...
