Keeping everyone happy in a practice is no easy matter, particularly when it comes to finding compatible software that is easy to use.


Jake London test drove the BigHand Digital Dictation system.

As the IT manager for a medium sized practice in the north of England it is my responsibility to make sure that everybody from the administration staff through to the partners are happy with their computers and digital tools and to choose the software that makes a real improvement to working practices.

It is vital that the software I purchase will make the investment worthwhile. All aspects of the software must be considered, including the requirements of the computers in the practice; ease of installation and use, as well as the time it takes to train somebody up on it. I can report that BigHand digital dictation ticks all the right boxes and does so extremely well.
