With the DictNow App, you can access your individual DictNow templates from your iPhone at any time and add additional information such as work tasks, images, etc. to them. This guarantees a media-break-free assignment to your office network at all times. The dictation can also be speech-recognized on your server in your office and the text is immediately available to your secretary for further processing. Thanks to the latest recording technology, dictations are recorded with excellent sound quality. These can then be sent securely to your secretary for further processing via an encrypted connection. The dictations are now directly embedded in your DictNow workflow.
