Want To Be More Productive? Speed Document Turnaround

Law firms rely heavily on expensive paralegals, legal secretaries, or outside services to transcribe the many documents required for legal proceedings - client memos, contracts, motions, briefs, discovery and deposition summaries, and more. There are essentially two approaches to document creation in place today, and as case volumes and administrative costs continue to grow, each approach presents a unique set of drawbacks:

Third-party Transcription: A lawyer dictates into a telephone or digital recorder, and the audio is sent to an outside transcriptionist; alternatively, the recording may be sent to an in-house transcriptionist, secretary or legal assistant. Outsourced transcription is simply too expensive and time consuming, slowing down proceedings, impacting client satisfaction, and cutting into profits. Although in-house transcription may be more cost-efficient than outsourced efforts, there is still a lengthy and unproductive back-and-forth of review cycles with support staff.

Direct Input: The lawyer types the information himself. Some individuals can't type, or prefer not to, either because they are untrained as typists, have a disability, or wish to prevent the development of a repetitive stress injury. Firms and corporate departments with limited staff require attorneys to create their own accurate documents under tight deadlines. This may even b the case when an in-house transcription process is in place since many attorneys work late into the night long after support staff has gone home.
