Computer Dictation Recorder (Express Dictate)

Express Dictate is a computer based voice recorder which works like a dictaphone or personal notetaker. You dictate using your computer or a portable dictaphone and send your recordings to your typist or assistant by email, the internet or over your computer network. Express Dictate can dramatically improve the turn around time for work and, most importantly, lets you work from wherever you want. As long as you have access to a computer with email, you can dictate from where you are - even overseas.
