Remote dictation transcription system

摘要

A system for the remote transcription of recorded dictation comprising a remote transcription unit and a machine control unit capable of controlling a plurality of dictation recorders and transmitting recorded dictation signals from a selected one of the plurality of dictation recorders for transcription by the operator of the remote transcription unit. The remote transcription unit generates a guard tone together with any commands which require a recording media motion function. The machine control unit provides the recording media motion function for so long as the guard tone is continued to be received, and terminates the recording media motion function in the event that the guard tone is interrupted. The speed of playback of recorded dictation may be controlled by the operator at the remote transcription unit, which transmits a command to the machine control unit corresponding to the desired speed of playback selected.
