On average, lawyers spend 25% of their working time recording dictations.And it takes a good secretary at least twice as long simply to transcribe the recorded text, which doesn’t even include formatting, printing and mailing. Law firms and courts of law have hitherto tended to use mainly analogue dictation devices, whereby dictations are recorded onto cassette. Granted, there have been minor technological improvements over the years, but the principle behind analogue devices has remained the same for decades.

The market was given new impetus with the arrival of digital dictation technology, which has opened up a whole new range of possibilities for law firms and courts in terms of efficiency – organisational workflows can be streamlined, costs can be reduced and processes can be accelerated.
