Brooktrout Technology and Apptec Voice Solutions Deliver
Digital Dictation and Transcription Service to the Medical Industry
and Legal Community
System Can Save Professionals Time and Help Accelerate Reimbursement
and Billing
NEW YORK, SpeechTEK 2005, Booth 307, August 1, 2005
— Brooktrout Technology, Inc., a leading supplier of media
processing and call control products, and Apptec Voice Solutions,
a solutions provider of network and telephony applications today
announced that Apptec Voice Solutions has selected Brooktrout’s
speech platform for its next generation of digital dictation and
transcription services. The service will use the media processing
capabilities of Brooktrout’s speech platform to take dictation
from call-in users using any telephone or Apptec’s microphone
stations. It will enable call-in transcribers to access this dictation
and control playback using Apptec’s telephone-based transcribe
stations. This digital dictation and transcription service can save
time by streamlining the document creation process, helping to accelerate
reimbursement and billing, and allowing users to spend more time
with patients and clients and less time on the mundane but necessary
medical record annotation and project documentation process.
Apptec Voice Solutions Digital Dictation System (DDS) is the first
dictation system in the industry to combine telephony, network,
and web interfaces in a single platform server. DDS provides voice
file storage, retrieval and archiving, workflow management and reporting,
file import and export via network and web, and telephony-based
user interfaces. Every user has a profile which allows the system
to respond to unique requirements. Authors can enter one or more
demographics that uniquely identify each dictation. Transcriptionists
can select work by one of many available criteria, so they can work
on the most important priority or find specific work in an instant.
Brooktrout’s speech platform will connect DDS servers to
the telephone network and process all voice and touch-tone responses
for use by the application. The speech platform provides superior
audio quality, especially when users use playback speed control,
as well as a full range of analog and digital call controls. Call
processing is enhanced through the use of monitoring tones and other
call connection indications provided by the Brooktrout speech board.
Andrew Braverman, President of Apptec Corporation stated, “We
selected the Brooktrout speech platform for our DDS server because
of its advanced speech processing characteristics and reliable performance.
Just as important, Brooktrout helps us provide a highly reliable
and cost effective solution that we are able to offer our customers
and that can save them more than 60% off the cost of competitive
systems. For example, using our 24 port DDS, a hospital or large
law firm could save as much as $50,000 in capital expenditures versus
other similarly featured systems.”
The Brooktrout speech products are standards-based, board-level
speech processing platforms specifically designed to support a broad
array of speech, IVR, messaging, and conferencing applications.
Ranging from 2 to 240 channels per server, the performance and flexibility
of this feature-rich media platform allows systems to scale in both
density and functionality to help meet the current and evolving
needs of advanced enterprise and service provider applications.
