Leading Berkshire law firm sets sails for digital efficiency

Horsey Lightly Fynn completes successful DigiScribe-XL pilot


Sunbury-on-Thames, UK, 29 October, 2007 -
Crescendo announced today that leading Berkshire law firm Horsey Lightly Fynn have selected Crescendo to supply a digital dictation and transcription system following a successful pilot in their London office. The firm now plans to roll out the DigiScribe-XL system in their Newbury headquarters.

The new system allows fee-earners to dictate either from their PC or a digital mobile recorder. Upon completion, voice files are streamed to the next available secretary for immediate transcription using DigiPlayer-IP, an intuitive interface that provides secretaries with a clear work list and CD sound quality for increased accuracy.

Karl Donovan, IT Manager comments: "We tested a number of other mobile and desktop digital solutions to assist in our changeover from the tape, but none of them offered enough reliability or functionality to allow us to expand the system to the rest of the firm. I was recommended Crescendo as a top DDS solution provider who could answer our specific needs, and that was exactly what they did. Utilising our existing digital hardware, they provided us with a fully featured user interface and a reliable server backbone to drive this project forward. And thanks to the unique way Crescendo "streams" our voice files, we can now take advantage of multi-site dictation and transcription, without the worries of bandwidth and file copy issues".

"Crescendo continues to win customers like Horsey Lightly Fynn thanks to our unique value proposition of professional workflow management platforms optimised for multi-site environments and offering unique productivity and confidentiality features, comments Costa Mandilaras, President, Crescendo Systems Corp."
