Methods and systems are disclosed for the sequential insertion of speech recognition results for deferred transcription services. Speech recognition results are used in the creation of resultant documents by delivering the results through a sequential insertion process. This sequential insertion process may utilize document templates and may also synchronize the delivery of the contents of speech recognition results with the audio playback of the recorded speech information. The sequential insertion process in part provides an interface more closely related to traditional methods for deferred transcription that do not utilize speech recognition. By combining the use of speech recognition with the sequential delivery of the speech recognition results, the disclosed methods and systems advantageously provide a transcription tool that enhances the efficiency of the deferred transcription process, particularly where document templates are utilized.
