Casual Articles - This History of Transcription and Law Firm Productivity
Last time we discussed how online coupons and promotion codes can motivate buyers. We discussed examples of coupons and some of the aspects of these offers that can boost sales and generate urgency to a purchase. Today we’ll focus on how to create great landing pages and the use of affiliate programs to further enhance your marketing efforts.Creating good online coupons to offer customers is not the only thing you need to do to maximize your sales. Using an enticing landing page that meets the customer with the deal they’re being offered is also an effective tool leading to a sale. There are two ways that let the customer know the benefit of the coupon they
While it is true that in today’s world many attorneys draft their work while sitting behind their keyboards, if an attorney is fairly computer literate and can type at a decent rate using all fingers (ok, 8 is ok too!), then through cutting and pasting of previously created documents and other software enhancements, this method of document creation can be an efficient use of time. However, since all attorney time is usually billable, the argument could be made that less than proficient attorneys should not draft documents th
Call Centers have the capability to create a large number of jobs or employment opportunities. For this reason so many communities with soaring unemployment rates try to find call center companies in the vicinity and that is the reason offshore countries are approaching to expand and create their own call center unit or industry.The scope for finding a job in a call center is immense. However the nature of jobs may vary from hourly or agent jobs to stay at home jobs to salaried jobs like IT jobs, account management jobs, supervisory jobs and executive jobs.Before starting your career in a call center industry, the first and the foremost thing you should
Up until the 1970’s, the dictation to transcription process generally meant a secretary sitting in the same room with her “boss”, physically writing down every word uttered into a notebook using shorthand. After this time consuming task, she would then travel to her desk and typewriter and transcribe her notes as a first draft. The attorney would make revisions by hand and the document would be retyped from scratch on a new sheet of paper until final – when it was typed one last time from scratch onto letterhead, usually with several carbon copies. I’m sure anyone who was raised in the PC era can’t even imagine typing the same base document over and over – but that was how it was done!
In the late 1970’s, the introduction of two pieces of office automation dramatically improved on the document generation process: the cassette recorder and the electric word processor.
Instead of tying up a secretary for hours, a cassette recorder allowed attorneys to dictate to a tape which was then handed to their secretary for transcription throughout her day or, for larger documents, to the firm’s word processing department. With the introduction of recorded dictation, law firm productivity soared! Secretary’s could answer phones and handle administrative tasks as they transcribed and attorneys enjoyed the new freedom of being able to “work” independent of their secretary and even office -- so long they had their portable recorder, batteries and fresh tapes they could produce and get the “work” done.
The next improvement to the process, or electric word processors, removed the double entry work of documents created on typewriters and law firms adopted this “new fangled” technology with arms wide open. Leading the way was Corel’s WordPerfect® which was created specifically for law firms and DOS, long before Windows and the far inferior (IMHO) Microsoft® Word were even a thought. To this day, WordPerfect’s Fkey functions remain etched in my memory and it’s Reveal Codes feature make it an “intuitive” application for most beginners.
The next improvement to the document generation process will undoubtedly be recognized as the jump from analog to digital dictation and the options that then become available.
Hard to imagine, but this one relatively minor change in how dictators produce the work, can provide heaps of benefits for everyone – from the ability for dictators to work from any internet connection or telephone; to the ability of HR personnel to track and monitor the actual work in progress at a firm; to the flexibility to send files “in house” or to lower costs, to a transcription provider or Virtual Assistant.

You may not realize, but when you bring a new employee into your business you only have one chance to make a good first impression. Research confirms that a poor (or lack of) induction is a major contributor to how engaged that person is. The more engaged they are, the harder they will try and the more effort they will put in.The best companies have standardized induction processes that can span several weeks, involving building tours, meetings with key individuals, training programs on company history, introduction to systems and so on.Starting a new job can be an anxious time. Not only are you unsure of yourself, you also have yet to truly evaluate the

For consumers with debt problems, life can be stressful and problematic. It is no fun living in the modern world without money.For consumers with serious debt problems and a need for professional assistance, there are a myriad of options available, none of which seem to be a clear solution.This means that individuals need to assess and select debt management assistance. Unfortunately, many people who need this help are amongst the most vulnerable in society and may not be able to make an informed decision.The debt management industry is one that has little or no regulation and oversight. This can make it hard for consumers to tell fact from fictio

Podcasting had started as a minor hobbyist thing between iPod owners but due to the effective nature of this medium it has become a highly in demand advertising avenue. The key is to remember that Podcasting mostly happens in video and like any video advertisement you need to be able to catch and retain user attention long enough to convince them to buy something. This requires more creativity than is normally assumed. Most people tune out when they are seeing commercials so you need to do something special to make them actually look at what you are presenting.You need to be descriptive but brief and succinct yet informative. Make sure that your video advertise

However, since all attorney time is usually billable, the argument could be made that less than proficient attorneys should not draft documents through keyboarding, otherwise clients end up paying for administrative tasks at attorney’s rates. Also, one needs to pay careful attention to meta data (the hidden information in documents) when cutting and pasting.
Just as music and video have moved away from “tapes”, so too will dictation. The dictation/transcription process remains the best method to get the work done and upgrading to digital is actually inevitable. Word on the street (aka LegalTech NY) is that analog transcription machines will shortly become scarce then the little tapes will start going up in price. If you see that, you know the time draws near to investigate digital equipment. Also, if your current equipment breaks, really consider upgrading to digital. Everyone in your firm will be happy you’ve made the switch – including you.
My recommendation are products by Olympus ordered through Bret Williams of www.novuscript.com. Bret is an Authorized Olympus Dealer who is happy to provide preferential pricing and free shipping on orders over $200 just for mentioning “LegalTypist”. ;)
While I try to follow the motto my dear ol' mom instilled in me as I was growing up: “If you don’t have something nice to say … don’t say anything at all,” I do feel constrained to caution would be upgraders away from Sony® products. I have had nothing but trouble with their proprietary file types and dictators report their buttons and functions are almost impossible to understand. In comparison, the same associate handed an Olympus DS3000 was able to create and process digital dictation files with very minor effort. For the hard core partners who really resist change, I recommend the Olympus DS4000 as it is the only digital recorder on the market with a slide switch -- so it feels just like a tape unit but without the tape!
