G2 SPEECH 

A digital dictation, transcription solution that is already successfully being used in a firm of lawyers with 550+ users.

Especially designed with the Legal and Medical sectors in mind, G2 Speech offer a complete solution to your organisational dictation needs. Made up of a number of modules (which each perform specific functions), the G2 products offer not only a complete solution to your company needs but also the most cost effective. Modules for dictation, transcription and workflow management are installed on respective PCs, enabling the users to dictate directly to the system through the use of a digital microphone or digital handheld recorder (such as the Philips SpeechMike or Olympus DS3000 - further details of these products are included elsewhere on this page). The dictation (created as sound files), can then be routed (via the company network), to a specific secretary or a pool of secretaries depending on your wishes. At all times managers have access to statistical information regarding the job queue and dictation creators can flag jobs for urgent priority. In addition to this the system also offers the option of utilising the benefits of Speech Recognition technology in a number of ways.

The products have been designed with flexibility in mind and as a result can be customised to fit into your organisations existing IT infrastructure as well as adapted to any changes that may take place.
