Winscribe Introduces a New Authoring Experience for Dictation Clients

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, May 24, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Winscribe, a leading provider of digital dictation and speech recognition workflow management software for businesses, announced an enhanced redesign of their dictation authoring application, called Winscribe Author Plus. Winscribe Author Plus complements the existing Winscribe Dictation software suite and enables clients to record, edit and review dictated audio and transcribed documents, by using their personal computer. With this software, users can concentrate on dictating documents and other important information, while the Winscribe Dictation software suite provides the technology for allocating resources and for support staff to quickly and easily transcribe, correct, format and file completed documents.

"We are very excited to roll out the new design of Author Plus for Winscribe's digital dictation software suite," said Beth Stapleton, Winscribe's Global Digital Marketing Specialist. "Winscribe Dictation customers will benefit from an increase in efficiency, productivity and usability when authoring and managing dictations, and it is very fulfilling to see it in the hands of users who helped us design it. We're very happy with how it has turned out and how it's being received, thus far."

The Winscribe Author Plus software update features a major design overhaul with a fresh, new user interface. Clients that select to use Winscribe Author Plus (over the standard Winscribe Dictation authoring application) have additional benefits, including the ability to customize their personal user interface and set their application preferences for skin themes, mask colors and grid property colors. Featuring a modern color palette, updated branding and fresh icons, Winscribe Author Plus' fresh look combines the latest in console design with feedback from Winscribe's customer base.

"This release reflects Winscribe's commitment to building software that incorporates modern technology, is easy to use and is highly effective for our customers," said Pierre Corboz, Director of Product Strategy at Winscribe. "In the latest series of updates, we further optimize user interaction by supporting process improvement and enabling more efficient dictation workflow. In addition to the sleek, new look and feel, we have integrated the latest dictation hardware and speech recognition software solutions and have streamlined many elements to provide a more consistent and intuitive experience."
