- Artisoft's Artiscribe Digital Dictation System
-
- Preliminary Specifications
-
- Now any LAN workstation with an Artisoft Sounding BoardTM adapter installed
- can become a dictation or transcription station! The ArtiScribe Digital
- Dictation System combines the crystal clear digital recordings of Sounding
- Board with the powerful efficiency of a LAN, to provide you with a flexible,
- easy-to-use dictation system.
-
- Dictating can be done at any time, no matter what text mode DOS application
- you happen to be running at the moment. All you have to do is pop up
- ArtiScribe's control pad, tell it to start recording, and then begin
- speaking. You can even continue to record while you return to your original
- program. When finished, simply use the control pad to stop recording, and
- your piece is complete.
-
- Sending your dictated piece to a transcriptionist -- or to other ArtiScribe
- users -- is as simple and as quick as picking the names from a list. If you
- wish, you can assign priorities and add spoken or textual descriptions to
- your ArtiScribe documents.
-
- Transcribing is just as easy because ArtiScribe works in the background while
- you type -- from within any text-mode DOS word processor. Just pop up the
- ArtiScribe control pad and it will give you a list of all of the ArtiScribe
- documents which have been sent to you, including dates, lengths, descriptions
- and priorities. After you've made your selection, ArtiScribe will continue to
- play the selected piece while you return to the word processor and type.
- No more awkward footpedals or clumsy buttons, switches, and knobs -- you can
- control playback without lifting a finger. Simply SAY the playback commands
- and ArtiScribe will listen. You can even control the speed of playback to
- your own comfort level, without causing the recorded voice to sound like
- Darth Vader or the Chipmunks.
-
- Because ArtiScribe utilizes Sounding Board's digital recording capabilities,
- there are no tapes to wear out, so voice reproduction will always be of
- outstanding quality. Doing away with tapes also eliminates the inefficient
- and insecure physical handling necessary with traditional systems. And, since
- every piece is stored separately, there is no time-consuming scanning
- required to find a particular piece from among many on a tape.
-
- ArtiScribe lets you expand your system as your needs expand -- all for a very
- affordable cost. Just add an Artisoft Sounding Board adapter and the
- ArtiScribe software for every LAN workstation you want to convert to an
- ArtiScribe workstation. ArtiScribe has been designed to be compatible with
- nearly all network operating systems, although, of course, users of
- Artisoft's LANtastic will enjoy enhanced installation and message
- notification features.
