Wisconsin Law Firm Implements BigHand Digital Dictation Software

One of Wisconsin's leading law firms, Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek, has joined the growing number of law firms across the country to have recently implemented the  BigHand Digital Dictation system.

The BigHand system allows attorneys to send dictated case notes instantly to their assistants, even if they are out of the office, The system creates virtual teams across the firm that means secretaries have the capability to team together and ensure documents get out of the door to clients twice as quickly.

The firm has nearly 200 users on the new system, which allows them to dictate using a handheld recorder that syncs the dictation files with the BigHand server or to transcribe using a headset and foot pedal through an office PC or via the Web through a Citrix connection. BigHand offers total visibility in one window, real-time tracking, and pop-up alerts to let secretaries know when a dictation is ready for transcription.
