A distributed dictation/transcription system is provided. The system provides a dictation manager having a data port to receive and transmit audio signals. The dictation manager includes a dictation server selector to a dictation server to transcribe the audio based on whether the dictation server already has a user profile uploaded.

Distributed dictation/transcription system

A distributed dictation/transcription system is provided. The system provides a client station, dictation manager, and dictation server connected such that the dictation manager can select a dictation server to transcribe audio from the client station. The dictation manager has a data port to at least receive and transmit audio, and receive and transmit data or text. A job queue at the dictation manager holds the audio to be provided to the dictation servers. When the dictation manager identifies an available dictation server, the dictation manager reviews all jobs in the queue. If a job in the queue has a user profile that has been previously uploaded to the available dictation server, the dictation manager transmits the audio to the dictation server.

Apparatus and method for queuing jobs in a distributed dictation/transcription system

A distributed dictation/transcription system is provided. The system provides a client station, dictation manager, and dictation server connected such that the dictation manager can select a dictation server to transcribe audio from the client station. A job queue at the dictation manager holds the queues the audio to be provided to the dictation servers. The dictation manager reviews all jobs in the job queue and send audio with a user profile matching a user profile already uploaded to the dictation server regardless of whether the matching audio is next in the job queue. If alternative audio has been pending over a predetermined amount of time or has a higher priority, the alternative audio is sent to the dictation server.

Apparatus and method for queuing jobs in a distributed dictation /transcription system

A distributed dictation/transcription system is provided. The system provides a client station, dictation manager, and dictation server networked such that the dictation manager selects a dictation server to transcribe audio from the client station. The dictation manager selects one of a plurality of dictation servers based on conventional load balancing and on a determination of whether the user profile is already uploaded to a dictation server. While selecting a dictation server or uploading a profile, the client may begin dictating, which audio would be stored in a buffer of dictation manager until a dictation server was selected or available. The user may receive in real time or near real time a display of the textual data that may be corrected by the user to update the user profile.

A distributed dictation/transcription system is provided. The system provides a client station, dictation manager, and dictation server networked such that the dictation manager can select a dictation server to transcribe audio from the client station. The dictation manager selects one of a plurality of dictation servers based on conventional load balancing as well as on a determination of which of the dictation servers may already have a user profile uploaded. Moreover, while selecting a dictation server and/or uploading a profile, the user or client at the client station may begin dictating, which audio would be stored in a buffer of dictation manager until a dictation server was selected and/or available. The user would receive in real time or near real time a display of the textual data that may be corrected by the user. The corrective textual data may be transmitted back to the dictation manager to update the user profile.
