With so many employees now using their personal mobile devices for work, it is increasingly important to protect and secure all communications to avoid anything falling into the hands of cyber criminals.

ProDictate Mobile’s updated mobile dictation function allows users to simultaneously snap photos along with the recording of their dictations.

Devacon and Stratodesk have joined forces! Devacon’s VC solution has now been integrated into Stratodesk’s new OS firmware, enabling dictation devices and foot switches to be used in a Citrix XenApp solution. Users simply have to select the appropriate ProDictate driver in their Stratodesk settings and they can then immediately control the VC solution via the dictation device, footswitch and headphones. The result is improved user experience, as well as higher quality recording and playback audio.

Our introduction of new features to ProDictate Online has made the dictation solution even more intuitive and user-friendly. As well as a newly designed status bar that displays connection and software statuses, start symbols now make it seamless to directly carry out important functions.

ProDictate is a digital dictation solution that provides superior transmission of audio, supports the use of foot switches in remote desktop environments as well as connected dictation devices and vastly reduces the overall effects of bandwidth fluctuations. IT departments are relived by the presence of ProDictate which can easily be integrated into an existing infrastructure with little set up and overhead. This makes the remote desktop solution an improvement over Citrix XenApp and similar solutions.

ProDictate’s new module now makes automatic voice recognition and dictation software operate in the background, increasing user efficiency and making the transcribed texts available to the user. Organisation of the dictations is completed via a central pool, which can be filtered according to multiple factors. Moreover, ProDictate Mobile can then coordinate the dictation, sending it either to the dictating or writing party.
