Understanding Echo for Lexacom® 3 Type users

Introduction

This guide will explain what to expect as a typist when handling dictations that have been created using Echo with Lexacom® 3 – our digital dictation software.

This guide is written with the expectation that you are already familiar with using Lexacom® 3 as a ‘type’ user.

As a type user, you can continue to use Lexacom® 3 in exactly the same way as usual. With one additional step which allows you to see a transcription of the dictation.

• Load the dictation into your tool bar from the grid (as normal)
• Click on the ‘magnifying glass’ icon. (before the speed slider)

• Click ‘dictation notes’ tab (in blue below) to view the dictation notes – this will include the transcription entered by the typists using Echo.

You can then copy and paste the text into wherever you would normally type the transcription and make any amendments you wish to.

The dictation should still be listened to in order to check for accuracy and any audio notes that the talk user has not transcribed.
