Benefits for Surveyors
Nowadays there are heavy demands on Building Surveyors', Building Engineers' and Structural Engineers' time. Traditionally, the practice is to dictate property condition reports into a cassette recorder and hand the recorder to a secretary who transcribes the dictation into a report. Now, Surveyors and Engineers may use Dragon NaturalltSpeaking speech recognition software themselves to create clients' letters and reports that have to be created within short deadlines.
Alternatively, they can dictate into a digital recorder and Practice Secretaries could use the Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech recognition software to convert the digital file into text (delegated transcription). The latter frees up Practice Secretaries' time to take a greater role in administration of the practice. Also, Secretaries and Administrators within the organisation can use the Dragon speech recognition software which also frees up additional time which may be spent on other duties.
Surveyors and Engineers spend a considerable amount of time in the field. By either using a laptop or tablet PC, property reports can now be created "on - site" straight away with a wireless or wired headset microphone . Or a digital recorder could be used for later conversion by the Surveyor into text with Dragon NaturallySpeaking back at base or the Surveyor could e-mail the wave file to their Practice Secretary for delegated transcription with or without Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
There are many possibilities to boost Surveyors' and Engineers' productivity and earn more fees for the Practice.
