Four legal transcription bureaux have lined up to praise nFlow, a UK-based digital dictation software developer, for its recently voiced commitment to use an ‘open’, non-proprietary audio format.

The four – Exigent Group, Voicepath, Lawscript and Global Secretarial – have stated that the use of open file formats by dictation software companies would make it a lot easier for law firms to outsource their document production, resulting in cost savings and efficiency gains for both the bureaux and their customers.
