Anywhere, anytime dictation
WinScribe Pocket Author for Healthcare offers unparalleled functionality to speed up work turnaround. With options to route work directly to a transcriptionist or typing pool you have the power of choice in your hand. Dictation can be uploaded anywhere, anytime with client demographics attached, ensuring document accuracy and accelerating the transcription process.
The WinScribe PDA application communicates with the WinScribe server via HTTP or HTTPS. This allows authors to dictate while on the move and have the voice files automatically sent to the server whenever a connection is present. Connection methods that allow us to work this way include Wireless technology, GSM/GPRS/Bluetooth/Cellular, etc.

When a connection is not readily available, WinScribe Pocket Author for Healthcare is also able to work in offline mode. In this instance, voice files are stored on the local device until when a connection is present, or when the PDA device is docked in its cradle connected to a PC with Microsoft ActiveSync installed.

Secure voice and data transmission
We recognize that you need to protect sensitive voice and data. WinScribe Pocket Author for Healthcare can be configured to use 128-bit encryption ensuring patient/client confidentiality is never compromised.
