Grundig Opens Up Digital Dictation Options with WinScribe Integration

April 20 , 2006 - Grundig Business Systems (GBS), one of the world’s largest suppliers of digital dictation systems, has announced a closer cooperation with one of the leading suppliers of digital dictation software, Winscribe. The two firms are focusing their partnering efforts, offering clients a turnkey solution with a wider choice of hardware options.

All GBS’s digital devices now integrate with Winscribe, delivering a value alternative to other established hardware devices: a value alternative - that looks to combine class-leading ergonomics, aesthetics, and performance.

Winscribe Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Weavers, welcomes the move. “We may specialise in software but we recognise the importance of hardware in securing a holistic solution that delivers on all counts. GBS’s digital range is strong on style, innovation and functionality, and it has a key role to play in driving utilisation, efficiency and satisfaction.”

Jürgen Rilling, GBS’s managing director, is a firm believer in consumer choice. “With more market players offering more hardware options, end users can actually compare and contrast competitive products and make genuinely informed decisions as to what would suit them best. With the Winscribe integration complete, many thousands of digital dictation users now have access to next generation devices and an outstanding mix of technology and design only GBS is offering.”
