Winscribe Speech Recognition

Winscribe Speech Recognition, often shortened to WSR, turns spoken dictation into typed text. It is part of the Winscribe digital dictation workflow management system. The product is aimed at organisations that want faster documentation and less paper.

What Winscribe Speech Recognition offers

• Client-side recognition — converts speech to text while the author is dictating.
• Server-side recognition — captures the whole dictation, sends the voice file to a server and compares it with a stored voice profile.
• Review workflow — authors can check their own reports, or pass the recognised text to support staff for editing and formatting.
• Central management and reporting — a managed setup with a reporting component to track how well recognition works.

Who it works with

WSR is described for enterprises of different shapes, from a single site to several linked intranets. The aim is to let senior staff spend less time on admin by handing review work to support colleagues.
