DIGITAL DICTATION
DICTATE ANYWHERE
While staff is increasingly on the move, whether it's time spent away from the office or in transit, your organization needs to find ways of minimizing lost productivity.
With Continuum, it doesn't matter where you are. Productivity and efficiency will never be compromised. Because Continuum uses digital files instead of tapes to transport dictation your work can be sent for transcription instantly from any location with internet access. Dictate and send your job using multiple recording options including your PDA, PC or notebook, digital handheld device, cell phone, touchtone telephone or VoIP phone.
Continuum also allows you to monitor the status of your work from anywhere. You are able to retrieve jobs for review and editing or download completed jobs which can include the transcribed document.
Combined with Continuum's faster digital transcription, your dictation will be ready by the time you get back to the office.
"Continuum has made an enormous improvement in our productivity. We can now author jobs from any PC within our firm throughout the country."
FLEXIBLE RECORDING INPUTS
New technology which integrates with your existing technology is an important initial capital investment consideration, as well as how easy it will be to install and deploy.
Continuum's system is built on Microsoft architecture to ensure easy integration and maintenance, and supports a wide range of manufacturer independent devices to allow you to choose digital dictation and digital transcription equipment that best suits your environment such as PCs, telephones, PDA's, digital handheld portables, handheld microphones, notebooks and VoIP.
The Continuum digital dictation system is a software only platform meaning you are not limited to a specific model or brand. We work closely with key manufacturers including Olympus and Philips.
"Our authors enjoy the choices they have in dictation devices and the ease of transmitting files."
FORGET TAPES, FOREVER
Your traditional analog audio tapes can be lost, misplaced, accidentally erased, or broken. From a management perspective, it can also be hard to identify jobs, to estimate the total number of files or audio duration.
With Continuum's digital dictation software, digital audio files can be stored right on your computer. They do not get accidentally erased, do not wear out and do not get easily lost or misplaced and sound quality is increased. Additionally, they can be instantly sent across a network around the world, decreasing your courier costs.
"You can't compare the old tape system to Continuum's Digital Solution. If they ever tried to take it away, I'd have to leave!
CONTROL AND MONITOR DICTATION WORKFLOW
Efficient management of your dictation workflow should involve streamlining your document creation process, eliminating bottlenecks and promoting work sharing.
Reporting - Continuum's management reporting function is able to provide progress and status reports allowing you to gain control of your dictation workflow from anywhere. Management and reporting are clearly major advantages over a tape based or low-end digital system. 60 standard reports enable users and managers to see at a glance what work is in the system, identify bottlenecks, and quickly allocate work/resources where required. Extensive reporting capabilities can show system use by user, work type, backlog and productivity. This not only allows better control of workload, but is also helpful for planning and managing staff needs and assists with performance management.
Job prioritization - Continuum's unique Intelligent Workflow Management also automatically manages the distribution and prioritization of your dictations. This enables the dictation workflow to be defined according to specific job types based upon the user, type of work, team, location, or other criteria.
"Our people share a sense of team and common values. However with the old systems, the support crew couldn't share jobs easily with other users as it was not always obvious who was busy. Continuum's system is much more transparent and the fact that we can now prioritize work and see what's in the pipeline is working really well.
