Andrew Jackson Realises Speech Recognition Efficiency Gains
Top-250 law firm Andrew Jackson has increased efficiency via BigHand digital dictation server-side integration with Dragon NaturallySpeaking™
London, UK (PRWEB) June 09, 2011
BigHand, the global leader in voice productivity technology has today announced that Top-250 law firm Andrew Jackson has increased efficiency as a result of implementing BigHand's Speech Recognition Module. BigHand digital dictation workflow technology integrated with the Dragon NaturallySpeaking server from Nuance Communications enables anytime, anywhere working, delivering high accuracy levels and improving document turnaround times. The firm's Managing Partner Rob Penrose submits all his dictations via BigHand to speech recognition, freeing his secretary to focus on value adding activities.
Rob Penrose, Managing Partner at Andrew Jackson comments:
‘'We have found speech recognition to be a highly effective tool to achieve greater flexibility and efficiency. We first began using BigHand's speech recognition module a year ago; we started with a group of fee earners across departments who were selected for their dictation style and as being receptive to new technology. The number of fee earners now using speech recognition has grown organically as they have seen its potential and have been asking for it.
I now send all my dictations to speech recognition, when in the office or working remotely, and in my opinion it works fantastically well. It enables me to produce documents wherever I am and at any time of day. Working remotely, automatically transcribed text is returned direct to my Notebook and I can press on with the work I need to do without any delay. We will shortly be rolling the technology out across our fleet of Android smartphones to improve mobile working for all.
Speech recognition has significantly decreased the volume of typing some secretaries are required to do, enabling them to spend more time on value adding activities to deliver first class customer service.
There is no downside to speech recognition; users have been very impressed with its accuracy and ease of use. It works brilliantly straight out the box, I have recommended it to several other firms looking to improve efficiency.''

‘Game Changing’ Dragon Speech Recognition headlines BigHand User Conference 2011
User conference coming up, Thursday November 24th.
>PRWEB.COM Newswire - London, UK (PRWEB) August 11, 2011
BigHand, the market leading voice productivity vendor in the global legal and professional services sector will host its 6th annual User Conference at the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London on Thursday 24th November 2011. BigHand’s integration with Dragon NaturallySpeaking™ will headline this year’s event; the technology has received high acclaim for its ‘game changing’ productivity benefits amongst legal firms during the past year including a growing number of firms ranked in the Top-100.
With many firms having already adopted Dragon speech recognition or incorporating it within their strategies for next year, the event will explore the impact of integrating BigHand digital dictation technology with Dragon speech recognition software and showcase innovative new technology being released later this year. BigHand is committed to delivering productivity enhancing technology for legal & professional services firms, and is the only developer to deliver such a comprehensive speech recognition showcase.
Conference sessions feature a keynote address from Peter MacKinnon, senior vice president & GM, Nuance Communications, independent analysis, customer panel debates and the opportunity for attendees to get their hands on the latest and greatest technology from BigHand. The 2011 User Conference is free to attend for both existing BigHand customers and any other legal or professional service firms wishing to look at how BigHand can help their businesses to get more done. The event is sponsored by premium partners Nuance Communications and Philips Speech Processing.
Rob Lancashire, managing director - UK Legal & Professional Services, BigHand, comments:
‘’The BigHand User Conference is the preeminent voice productivity event in the legal & professional services calendar and is a must attend for firms looking to increase their document production and streamline working practices. Over the past year we have invested significantly in the development of innovative server-side and client-side speech recognition tools including a unique pre-learning utility. As a result more and more firms are adopting Dragon speech recognition technology as an integral part of their armory and the benefits cited are tangible.
"Drawing on the experiences of our customers and high profile experts in the field, the 2011 User Conference will help shape legal technology strategy for the coming year. Speech recognition represents a significant opportunity for our customers and the content of this year’s event will be compelling for anyone involved in managing or delivering business process enhancement.’’
