In the analogue era, before dictation became a simple data file, recordings often had to go a long way. With digital technology, sending cassettes is a thing of the past. You can dictate the document in any location you wish and transmit the speech files immediately to the office from your laptop via data or network card. You can also benefit from the enhanced functionality of digital: the means to insert sentences afterwards into existing dictations, the ability to locate dictations easily, archiving capability (for saving space!) and the bonus of no wear on the machine (due to the absence of mechanical parts).

Benefits of digital dictation
Digital dictation systems offer numerous benefits over conventional
analogue equipment. By going digital, the time required for producing a
typed document can be significantly reduced.
For users who don't have a secretary or a transcription service, voice
recognition is n option. Voice recognition allows your speech to be
directly and automatically converted into typed documents, thus saving
time and money as well.
