Looking for a good dictation software for a lawyer

[dee001]

Hello everyone, I have an attorney that is looking for an app that he can run on his android phone to dictation his notes for his assistant and be able to create legal documents or at least start the first rough draft. We have tried a few but to created bullets or new paragraphs within the document have been an issue. Does anyone have a good app that will work on android that's fairly easy to use? Or any suggestions

These things eat up RAM. I'd be surprised if an Android device could make much of a fist of it whatever you used. But - I have clients using Dragon very successfully (mostly on PCs but they do do an app for android). You have to train it - don't expect instant success.

Most lawyers I know use Dragon but not on the phone. They just record on the phone and then transfer that to the PC and let Dragon transcribe it. Even after that, a human has to look it over as there will be slight errors.

Our law firm client uses SpeechExec Pro. They have a cloud version with a phone app. We haven't moved to that yet so not sure how well it works.

Is there any free app for Android that anyone would recommend to get him started? He thinking that he could do his dictations on the fly and have his secretary to edit. I was just thinking what are you guys thought on me recommending using Google voice to text using Google Docs and sharing the folder with the notes to his secretary. His firm uses Google suite.

Then it sounds like he needs to jump back 20 years and buy a Dictaphone. Sounds like he doesn't want to check the auto-transcriptions anyway (leading to a mess) and have his assistant do it all. An attorney depends on using exactly the right words at the right time. No place for Google's Assistant even though I'm a fan of her/it.

Let me make sure I got this right.....................

An Android app using a cloud service for transcribing and processing? Sounds real sketchy to me. Third party handling privileged information...

I'd point out this page:

I've paid a lawyer before trust me he can afford to go a little above free. Your going to get what you pay for.

As was mentioned with a lot of this software it comes down to how well you train it and how clearly you speak.

You can't just expect it to know what you mean.

Has he included his assistant in this discussion? It's probably more efficient to just dictate to an audio file and have the assistant transcribe to a document from scratch. A competent assistant will have a much better idea of what the attorney is saying and what he means when using trade jargon. Also, a good typist can format a document to house style from the start – always easier and less frustrating than correcting an existing document.

My sister is a classically trained PA and would never try to format a draft document from her boss. If she receives a rough draft, she prints it and retypes as a new document.

Tell him to record an audio file and outsource the typing to Amazon mturks for like .50 cents a job his cheapness will fit right in with the other jobs on there
