BIGHAND FOR BLACKBERRY SMARTPHONES BigHand released the world’s first true enterprise digital dictation workflow system for BlackBerry in 2007. After a successful early adoption programme, BigHand has built on this innovation with the latest and best in mobile dictation. BigHand for BlackBerry® incorporates the feedback received from BigHand’s early adopter partners, making the creation and submission of BlackBerry dictations smoother, more reliable and more intuitive than ever before.
HOW DOES IT WORK? BigHand for BlackBerry® is installed over-the-air onto the BlackBerry smartphone. The user records, edits and submits dictations using this intuitive application, which takes advantage of features like the trackball, convenience buttons and touch screen. Dictations are uploaded over the mobile data services channel via the BlackBerry Internet Service or the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The BlackBerry Gateway component receives the BlackBerry dictations and submits them to the BigHand3 server. The BlackBerry Gateway is hosted on an IIS server: if your firm uses BlackBerry Enterprise Server this IIS server communicates internally with the BlackBerry Gateway; if you use the BlackBerry Internet Service, the IIS server must face the internet and be routable by the BIS provider. BlackBerry dictation submissions are processed by the BigHand server in the same way as dictations submitted by any other means, making them instantly available for transcription.
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT? If your organisation currently uses a dictation system then BigHand for BlackBerry® enables your mobile users to send instruction and dictation instantly into the office workflow - further enhancing document turnaround times, remote productivity and client service. Additionally your organisation will be able to cut down the number of devices professionals carry and cut call costs if you currently use telephony/cell phones for dictation. If your organisation does not currently use a dictation system, but utilises BlackBerry smartphones, then purchasing BigHand3 with BigHand for BlackBerry® licenses will provide your users with a voice productivity tool that boosts remote efficiency and expedites your document production process.
