Introduction
Audacity Audio introduces the Audacity Digital Voice Recorder Professional Version. Doctors, lawyers,
executives, and other professionals have a need to become more and more productive. Computers help
while the professional works from his office, but most computers are stationary and don’t help a mobile
Doctor traveling from office to office or hospital to hospital. PDA’s (personal digital assistants), cell
phones, and Smartphones (a combination cell phone / PDA) enable the professional to be productive
and, at the same time, mobile. Actually people are getting away from the name PDA and are replacing it
with "handheld computer", reflecting on the fact that they are nearly as powerful and capable as the
desktop. Professionals have embraced PDA’s since Palm introduced the first one more than ten years
ago. It is estimated that three in four doctors will use a handheld computer in the next year or two. Its
popularity is the result of the need to be productive while being mobile.
Digital recorders are a marked improvement over analog tape recorders. Digital files are much easier to
edit, store, transfer, etc. than analog files. The Audacity intelligent dictation applications are as much of
an improvement over digital recordings as digital recordings are compared to analog recordings. Audacity
adds intelligence to the recording process.
Audacity provides crisp clear recordings. With the addition of our LAM program, transferring files to the
PC and beyond to the remote transcriptionist is as easy as doing a HotSync. Recording on Audacity is as
simple as pressing a button. Complex transactions can still be done using the Palm screen interface, but
all common functions are performed with one hand, using the navigation pad.
Audacity Audio also develops enhanced programs based around the Professional Edition. Our Pro Plus
application adds the ability to integrate Audacity with database applications. For instance a doctor could
import his daily patient list along with pertinent patient demographics in preparation to document his
encounter. He could also choose from an assortment of documentation outlines to make sure he covers
each category of a particular ICD 9 code. Contact Audacity Audio for more information.
We also invite you to check out Audacity AudioMail. AudioMail is a service for the popular Palm Treo
series of Smartphones. It facilitates the smooth transfer of audio files through the cellular network.
AudioMail helps the mobile professional tackle his workload from anywhere.
