What are transcription machines?
Transcribing machines are specially designed units for voice recording and processing text that allow administrators to transmit the spoken word to the written text. These machines, also commonly referred to as rewriters or dictate machines, are generally used by experts in health, legal, commercial, journalism, education and research. Transcription machines allow easy recording of the human voice for accurate data collection and documentation. The first was created by Columbia Phonograph Company in 1907, based on these same principles. These early machines made it possible to record spoken words on wax rollers and played back for the pleasure of listeners who wanted to hear the great speeches of the leaders of that time.
As a technology, the phonograph and dictaphone have been subject to large adaptations with the discovery of magnetic resonant tapes. This new technology included the use of an electric current to record sound on a thin tape that might bet deposited on the backlit for later listening. The modern transcription machine was therefore introduced into the offices everywhere as a very useful tool for records and storage in front of desktop computers.
Over time, transcription machines have been developed in more convenient sizes and, including functions such as micro-command strips, the ability to control the speed and quality of playback and delete adverse records. Soon, the transcription device reduces and uses microzets instead of large straps that allowed users to hide or transmit the rewriters in the pockets. Transcrimsers have been designed for most of each profession.
Today's technology has even more improved transcription machines with digital recorders that allow maximum storage and quality of playback. In addition, a digital record allows for secure file sharing via computers, mobile phones and other digital devices. TRanscript files can be quickly and efficiently processed by qualified transcriptional physicians from places around the world.
Transcription machines allowed a large number of records and notes to be documented and transformed. It is a process that is particularly important in industries such as health care, clinical research, law enforcement, journalism and general businesses where meetings, studies, court hearing and medical examinations can be documented for later use. Transcription is used in many organizations as a way to document important events in favor of those who rely on accurate information.
