We are looking for alternatives for our small business digital dictation. At the moment we use Winscribe, proprietary tech with USB wired microphones / controllers, and (I think) a virtual machine running on our server. Licences are expensive. The USB microphones are expensive. The software is mediocre. I want to use my phone, but that costs an additional $100 odd per licence that I already pay for.
I would like to see a much simpler approach where:
(a) we can record on our phones (android + Iphone)
(b) those files then sync to our secretaries, so they get instant alerts & can see each other's queues.
(c) they can then type away while listening to those audio files, preferably controlling them via foot pedal.
You wouldn't believe how difficult I've found this process. I would have thought there would be something open source for everything except perhaps the sync side of things which I would expect would have a monthly charge or something.
What do you use? is it easy?
