A method and system for capturing and transcribing dictated information
and for delivering the transcribed information to an end user. A voice
file containing a digital recording of the dictated information is
received via the Internet from a remote device. The voice file is
forwarded via the Internet to a remote transcription service provider.
The transcribed information is received from the transcription service
provider and in turn delivered to, for example, a facsimile machine, a
text server and/or printer, a computer system or Web browser. The need
for expensive dictation equipment is reduced or eliminated. In addition,
the system can be readily scaled up to accommodate more users without a
commensurate increase in costs.
