Lansing, NY (PRWEB) April 9, 2006



Tech S2, Inc. today announced the release of CaseScribePC, the new desktop version of their CaseScribe hosted automated speech recognition transcription solution that allows users to dictate using a headset at their desktop PC, or upload audio files from a handheld digital voice recorder. CaseScribe, a product of Tech S2, is a web-based application service (ASP) solution combining the power of speech recognition and the convenience of the Internet in a complete digital dictation and transcription tool. CaseScribe’s unique, patent-pending technology automatically transcribes remotely dictated voice notes, and securely makes the transcription available from any location via any standard web browser in minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.



“CaseScribe is an easy-to-use, accurate, and secure digital dictation and transcription tool. Now, with a headset or any digital voice recorder, and 1 minute of training, a user can begin using CaseScribePC, and get dictations securely and accurately transcribed, from any location that has access to the Internet in just minutes,” said Mark Wheeler, president and CEO, Tech S2, Inc. “With automated continual training, accuracy can be as high as 99%.”



CaseScribePC and CaseScribePDA



CaseScribePC is designed for users dictating at a Windows based desktop, laptop or tablet PC, using a headset; dictated audio files can also be uploaded from a handheld digital voice recorder (with PC connectivity). CaseScribePDA, released in September 2005, supports mobile voice dictation – using the CaseScribe voice recording software, users dictate remotely using a wireless enabled Windows Mobile handheld PDA (with wireless Internet capability) or PDA smart phone (with Internet capability). The voice files are then securely uploaded to the CaseScribe servers, where they are immediately transcribed, stored, and ready for review in minutes.



“CaseScribe allows me to dictate my clinical records and receive my transcribed notes in minutes. These notes can then be placed into my electronic clinical database in seconds. Prior to CaseScribe, my notes were either handwritten into paper documents or typed into our electronic documentation, which was much more difficult for both myself and my staff,” said Dr. John C. Comisi, D. D.S., in Ithaca, NY. “We are getting closer to a “paperless” office and CaseScribe has made this an easier goal to achieve in my office. It’s an invaluable tool!”



Easy, Secure, Fast Transcription



With CaseScribe, users are able to securely access their transcriptions online at any time, from any location, using a PC with a standard web browser and high-speed Internet access, or via the CaseScribePC desktop application. Transcriptions can also be viewed, edited, and saved, on a Windows PDA or PDA phone. Using the CaseScribe web site portal, users, or their staff, can securely review, edit, and download their transcriptions -- even listen to the original dictation. Transcriptions can be edited by the speaker, or with CaseScribe’s newly enhanced Editor function, by the existing office staff, or transcriptionist, thus improving office productivity while cutting transcription costs and errors. In addition, with a click of the mouse, the transcription text can be placed into an electronic medical, legal, or financial records system.



CaseScribe leverages the Nuance® Dragon NaturallySpeaking® SDK Server Edition to power speech recognition in its automated back-end server-based transcription application, allowing for private, confidential and dependable transcribing of dictations. CaseScribe is HIPAA compliant, utilizing 128 bit SSL technology data encryption, with fully redundant and mirrored servers, ensuring reliable, uninterrupted and secure service. With CaseScribe there is no long term commitment, no software to buy, no add-on specialty vocabularies to buy, no maintenance fees, and all upgrades are automatically included. CaseScribe allows users to dictate naturally, with minimal training. Individual speaker training is completed online, and requires only 1 minute of dictation to create a voice profile. Users continually train their speaker voice profile, and can increase accuracy to as much as 99%. With a standard flat rate of $1.20 per minute of dictated audio, CaseScribe is equivalent to a rate of 10 cents per line. While typical industry standard is 24 hour or longer turn around time, CaseScribe returns transcription results within minutes. Discounts are available for high volume customers.



Flexible, easy to use, and affordable, especially for small practices, CaseScribe can also benefit larger group practices, clinics, hospitals, and transcription providers (MTSOs). Professionals across multiple industries can take advantage of CaseScribe for the quick and accurate turnaround of dictated notes, while in the office, on location, at home, or traveling, including healthcare practitioners, attorneys, insurance adjustors, real estate agents, financial institutions, and veterinarians. Eliminating the reliance on written notes and manual transcription, CaseScribe is the ideal solution for mobile and office professionals.



According to Dr. Scott D. Benjamin, D. D.S. from Norwich, NY, "With CaseScribe it has never been easier for dental professionals to manage specialized patient data such as notes specific to oral and facial surgeries and clinical situations that require detailed notes. With CaseScribe, dentists can simply dictate into their PC and within minutes their notes are transcribed and securely available on their PC for transfer into their local electronic patient record". Dr. Benjamin is on the ADA Standards Committee on Dental Informatics (SCDI) and is Chairman of the Digital Photography and Imaging working group, the Data Redundancy, Integrity and Storage working group and Co-Chairman of the Electronic Clinical Patient Records working group.



New Website Launched



With the release of CaseScribePC, Tech S2, Inc. has also launched the newly designed CaseScribe website, designed to be more streamlined with quicker and easier navigation, and an improved look and feel. In addition, a PDA version of the website has been added, at www. casescribe. com/pda (http://www. casescribe. com/pda).



Legal Vocabulary Added



In addition to medical, medical specialty, and general transcription vocabularies, CaseScribe has now added an extensive legal vocabulary. Now legal professionals at any location can dictate, wirelessly using CaseScribePDA, or at any desktop PC using CaseScribePC, and receive accurate, secure, and fast voice-to-text transcription processing. With CaseScribe’s new legal vocabulary, attorneys and their staff will realize increased productivity, along with reduced transcription costs and turnaround times.



“We are excited about the versatility, time and cost savings CaseScribe brings to our clients,” said Mark Wheeler, president and CEO, Tech S2, Inc. “CaseScribe is the only hosted transcription service with high accuracy, fast turn around times, and the flexibility to use a headset, handheld voice recorder, PDA, and/or PDA phone as input devices. With the ability to dictate and access transcriptions anywhere, anytime, CaseScribe provides customers with the greatest amount of control over their transcriptions.”
