About BigHand Dictation & Speech Recognition

BigHand is an automated version of the traditional dictation and transcription model in which an author dictates into a device and transfers the dictation to a transcriptionist. With BigHand, that handoff is digital, trackable, and significantly faster.

How It Works

  • The attorney dictates, including formatting cues, into their phone while on the go or at the office.

  • Dictations pass through a transcription engine that learns from corrections and improves over time.

  • Workflow options deliver the dictation in Word with the attached recording to a designated assistant, transcriptionist, or back to the attorney for correction, clean-up, and printing.


Smartphone Dictation and Workflow

BigHand for iPhone (and Android) is an advanced voice recording and workflow system designed to extend your office-based dictation capabilities onto mobile devices and improve your organization's remote working efficiency.
