Me2me upgrades its dictation application for smartphones
App acts like a voice recorder and support speech-to-text service
me2me AG, the products of which address both general and specialized dictation markets, announced the availability of Frisbee Pro 2.0 digital dictation software, with workflow management and fully integrated speech recognition. Frisbee Pro 2.0 is now fully compatible with the new Frisbee Smart, a professional, enterprise-quality digital dictation app for the iPhone, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile. The company integrates Nuance speech technology as an option into a complete dictation application. (See interview, Peter Hauser, CEO of me2me, SSN, October 2010, p.20.)
Using Frisbee Smart, users can record reports on the go and automatically add them to a typing queue, designed for environments where spoken text has to be transformed into structured documents, e.g., a lawyer's or a doctor's office. Frisbee Smart lets users stop, rewind, fast-forward, overwrite, or insert dictation at any point. The basic me2me service provides users with the ability to store and retrieve private information using their voice, through a phone call. One application, as the company's name may suggest, is to record voice notes for one's own use.
"Dictation apps are available, of course, but ours is the first that combines an enterprise leading professional standard service at price point that opens up dictation services to the mass market," said Hauser, noting that the product is the company's first direct-to-consumer offering on leading smartphone platforms.
