SRC brings professional dictation solutions experience to the Internet with SRC Direct

SRC, the UKís most experienced dictation solutions provider, has launched SRC Direct www.src-direct.co.uk, a dedicated e-commerce website offering professionals the worldís leading digital dictation and speech recognition products at competitive prices.

SRC Direct will provide digital dictation and speech recognition products from best-of-breed manufacturers Olympus, Philips and ScanSoft to professional services firms, government and commercial organisations. The e-commerce division has been established to complement SRCís core business, providing large scale implementations of digital dictation and speech recognition solutions and services.

Chris Hart, CEO of SRC said that SRC had recognised a clear gap in the market as no other supplier has the experience or expertise gained from nearly a decade providing dictation training and solutions to professionals.

ìOf the online dictation vendors, only SRC has the hugely experienced team able to provide first-rate advice and support on dictation solutions. SRC Direct customers will find the expertise of this team indispensable, especially when using SRC Directís training materials and support services,î said Mr Hart.

The SRC Direct website has been specifically designed for quick and simple navigation. Each product description includes a rating from SRCís consultants which evaluates the design, functions and overall performance of the product, enabling customers to select the best solution for their dictation requirements. SRCís consultants are also available via the online enquiry form to advise customers on their purchasing decisions.

In addition to individual products, SRC Direct also offers a number of unique product combinations including Quick-Start and Multi-User packages. Quick-Start packages provide everything needed to get up-and-running using digital dictation or speech recognition technologies. For example, the Quick-Start digital dictation packages include a digital handheld recorder, transcription software and hardware and SRCís training materials, which are used by SRC consultants when training large-scale deployments. Each package is completed by 3-months telephone support to ensure that any technical problems or queries are easily and quickly resolved.

Multi-User packages have similar components to Quick-Start packages, but are designed for small workgroups or departments ñ 5 authors and 2 secretaries for digital dictation, and 5 users for speech recognition.

ìWeíve taken every care to echo SRCís professional values and commitment to delivering real business benefits when creating SRC Direct,î continued Mr Hart.

ìWhereas other online vendors are happy to stock a wide product range from numerous manufacturers, weíve deliberately chosen only those products which have proven in our extensive experience of delivering training and solutions, to be the best, most productive available.

ìThe result is that SRC Direct customers can be sure whatever product, Quick-Start or Multi-User package they select, they are choosing the very best technology from the UKís leading supplier.î
