WinScribe's New Digital Dictation Software improves workflow management for professionals worldwide

San Diego, October 15, 2005 - WinScribe, developer of the world’s most widely used digital dictation workflow system, today announced the availability of WinScribe 3.6, delivering new functionality to hundreds of thousands of licensed users worldwide. WinScribe Inc offers voice to document solutions, incorporating digital dictation, transcription, speech recognition and workflow management.

“WinScribe is committed to delivering the best digital dictation solution providing fast document turn around as well as accurate and seamless transcription for our customers worldwide,” said Matthew Weavers, Managing Director of WinScribe. “The new WinScribe solution is a result of in-depth consultations with our sales partners and our clients, especially those in the healthcare and legal professions. As a result, we believe that this places WinScribe at the forefront of technical transcription capability and ease of use by emphasizing the powerful capabilities and specific features that our customers want and need."

The new version delivers a range of new and adapted features that will improve the return on investment for customers including;

• Increased versatility.
WinScribe 3.6 is compatible with a wider range of peripheral devices, allowing customers a great deal of choice for handheld recorders, microphones and other peripherals, and preserving existing equipment investments.

Further, WinScribe 3.6 supports VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) allowing customers to make VOIP or Internet telephony calls directly to the WinScribe server, dictate directly to the WinScribe system and bypass the need for recorders or other transcription equipment, often eliminating standard network call charges.

• Integrated processing.
By implementing new server side recognition software, WinScribe 3.6 provides customers with the opportunity to shift the speech recognition processing from the desktop or portable client back to a central server. By allowing the central server to perform the work, users not only increase the turnaround time for their reports, but the central server reduces the need for high specification client workstation computers. Approved for Citrix and Terminal Server, the new version of WinScribe is easily integrated into existing IT environments.

• Enhanced security features.
Improved password protection ensures vital client confidentiality can be protected. With the new version of WinScribe, document authors can be confident that transcriptionists can only gain access to those documents intended for their use.

• More author interface options
Customers can choose an interface that is as easy to use as Microsoft Outlook. Those familiar with the industry standard Personal Information Manager will find this new interface very easy to learn and use. For those authors on the move, WinScribe 3.6 has a new web uploader allowing authors to upload dictations directly from an internet browser interface wherever they are.

• Improved organization.
Once a document is completed with WinScribe 3.6, the transcriptionist can attach the completed document to the author's interface making it immediately and automatically available for the author to read. Additionally, when dictating, authors can use their interface to specify exact time and date where jobs are to be completed, improving communication and helping to ensure that work is completed on time.

“Early feedback from key customers testing the new release confirms we have significantly improved on a winning formula.” Said Weavers. “The enthusiasm for WinScribe 3.6 has been very rewarding and suggests we have got it right.”
