Abstract
A method and system for priority transcribing of a particular unit of dictation in a dictation-transcription system in which units of dictated material may be simultaneously recorded on, and transcribed from, a single continuous recording medium. The portion of the continuous recording medium from which dictated material has been transcribed is transferred to one of a plurality of bins or to one of a plurality of locations within a single bin from which it is withdrawn to be used for the recording of subsequent dictated material, and the system and method disclosed allows a priority unit of dictation in the sequence of units of dictation recorded on the recording medium to be selected from among other units of dictation in the sequence for transcribing without making any untranscribed unit of dictation in the sequence available for the recording of additional dictation which would obliterate any such untranscribed units of dictation.
