Q: What is a digital dictation device?
A. A digital dictation device looks and is used in
much the same way as an analogue recorder. The main difference is
that your voice is not recorded onto an analogue tape but is digitally
recorded and stored in a voice-file.
Q: Is the digital dictation device difficult to use?
A. No, it is as simple to use as an analogue recorder.
Q: What are the benefits of using digital voice recording
technology?
A. Numerous, but most importantly: • Financial savings
are set out on our benefits page. • The technology records
the voice with perfect clarity thus cutting down on errors.
• You save time - dictation is instantaneously saved onto your
system to be picked up by a secretary.
Q: How do I edit documents received from our offices in South
Africa?
A. 1. Professionals open the word document and check/amend
it on their screens before printing off the final version. This saves
time and importantly, paper. Aside from the obvious cost saving implications
firms are conscious of the importance of environmentally friendly
procedures, such as this.
2. Professionals may prefer to make manual edits/amendments on a hard
copy of the document. The document is printed off, edited, and then
given to a London based secretary to effect the changes on the word
document.
Q: Will the transfer of information between our office and
our firm's dedicated Global Secretarial office be secure?
A. We offer an end to end secure (128 bit encrypted)
file transportation system for both the sound files travelling to
our offices and the documents being returned. If you already have
a digital dictation workflow system, we can work with that to arrange
the secure transportation of data between your office and ours.
Q: What about confidentiality?
A. To ensure security and confidentiality we provide
secretaries dedicated to type only for your firm. Understandably,
our clients are demanding with regard to confidentiality requirements,
and needless to say, we go to great lengths to ensure that these requirements
are met.
Q: Will someone show us how to send dictations to South Africa?
Yes. The UK Account Manager will arrange a training appointment with
the relevant staff so that they can be trained on how to use the software
and send and receive data successfully.
Q: What about backup service/maintenance?
A. Global Secretarial’s services
Our London team will ensure that any queries (maintenance or otherwise)
are answered quickly and efficiently to ensure that your firm will
settle into using our services with minimal disruption. We have a
Helpdesk line to ensure that you are put in touch with the best person
to solve your problem.
Digital dictation
There are numerous suppliers of the digital dictation hardware. We
have seen particularly favourable results with Philips products. Likewise,
there are different software packages on the market that will meet
your requirements. We are more than happy to consult with our customers
so as to assist in making a decision on software which will best suit
your company. |
