“I am a Director of Blue Sky Planning and have been using the services of  SOS since I joined the company in March 2009. As planning consultant a lot of my work is technically and legally based which SOS clearly understand in the accuracy of the reports and letters which they type for me. SOS are extremely reliable which is testament to the speed and accuracy of completing work. I would not hesitate in recommending their professional services.”

What is a digital

dictation system?

The diagram shows how easy it is to send work out to SOS-online using

the digital equipment, if you have any further questions don’t hesitate to contact us.

 

SOS-online would be delighted to advise you on the equipment available and organise the installation on your behalf.

 

We can arrange a presentation at your office to demonstrate the equipment and how the system operates.

  • The system we use...

    The digital system used by SOS-online is an established system and both the voice recorders and transcription kit are produced by Olympus. We can also accept dictation from other voice recorders as well as mobile phones.

  • How digital voice recorders work...

    Digital voice recorders work in a similar way to traditional dictaphones, only using a memory card instead of tapes. Digital voice recorders enable authors to insert new dictation into a previously dictated file before it is typed, rather than waiting for the file to be typed before changes can be made later on. All dictation can be saved as

    separate files and downloaded directly onto a computer

    for typing in or out of the office. Comparing a traditional Dictaphone to a digital voice recorder is like comparing

    a typewriter to a computer!

  • How the system works...

    Dictation is attached to an email and sent to SOS-online for typing, therefore a reliable email system is required. Dictation files received by SOS-online are then typed and checked before the completed work is returned to our client’s office for editing and printing as usual. All typed documents, however complicated, can be protected by a password for added security.
