One of the Humber region’s leading law firms, Pepperells Solicitors, has chosen BigHand as their digital dictation provider, following a comprehensive analysis of all major suppliers. Having recently merged with well-respected local law firm, Myer Wolff Solicitors, they needed a new digital dictation platform to amalgamate their working practices and provide them with additional mobile and speech recognition functionalities.

Ben Pepperell, Managing Partner at Pepperells supervised the project of sourcing and securing a new voice productivity solution, which could merge the two companies’ individual IT infrastructures to combine and improve working processes. He comments: “There were several elements which were key when vetting potential providers. BigHand was the product that stood head and shoulders above the competition. The product itself is intuitive and user friendly.”

Pepperells will use BigHand’s core digital dictation across the company, with all users benefiting from the mobility function and enabling Pepperells staff to be more productive using their voices while on the go, outside of the office.

"BigHand’s mobility offerings for smartphones and tablets perfectly match our ongoing requirements to enable staff to get work done while out of the office, anywhere in the world. The easy to use App allows solicitors to dictate and synchronize their dictations whilst on the move, ensuring they provide our clients with the highest levels of client care," says Ben.

Pepperells Solicitors’ pride themselves on providing an excellent client service. They view their decision to switch from a standalone solution to BigHand as a long-term investment into the company's IT infrastructure and believe the technology will be a key enabler to allow them to deliver a continuously outstanding service to their customers.

Pepperells have initially purchased a small number of speech recognition user licences, with the view to increase this number in the future. They were impressed with the advanced capabilities of the highly proven speech recognition module, which staff will be able to actively use to turn work around quicker and independently if needs be.

Ben added: "Another key factor in choosing a supplier was speech recognition, a feature which enables us to streamline business process. BigHand’s speech recognition was by far the most intuitive and easy to use out of all of the products on the market."
