Scribernet has developed and maintains sophisticated Internet-enabled transcription technology that provides electronic document creation and management for your electronic patient record needs. The Scribernet system deploys three main modules:

The Voicescriber System

The Phonescriber System:

The Webscriber webserver and EPR System. 


After installing our Voicescriber program in your computer with a good Internet connection, you are only one step away from sending your dictation to us . The Scribernet Manager (SNmanager) script searches and transmits selected audio files from a PC, uploaded from hand-held digital dictation devices with the touch of an upload button. It identifies the author, copies the audio files and  encrypts the audio file before sending it to the destination Webscriber server. The encryption of voice files ensures that it cannot be read as it travels over the Internet. To learn more about the SNManager workflow and how it works, click here.

Voicescriber automatically downloads all your transcriptions from our server, once you hit the upload button at the client's office. The encrypted files are posted on the "client.scribernet.com" secure web - to be downloaded by the transcriptionist.

If you favor the mobility of a handheld digital recorder (similar to a handheld cassette recorder, except that there are no cassettes), we can provide or recommend many options. We recommend the Olympus DW-90 as it records directly 
into a widely used ".wave" format and allows 90 minutes of recording into separate folders. Other dictation units such 
as the Olympus DS-3000, which allows for 3 hours of recording can also be used - except that it records into a proprietary ".dss" format, which may need to be converted to the ".wave" or ".mp3" format and may require a slight modification of the Voicescriber program.



The phone-in dictation system, with voice prompts,  is quick and easy. Moreover, your voice files are available immediately to our transcriptionists. Using a toll free or local telephone line, doctors can call up a designated number and dictate the message, which is converted and recorded into a dedicated server on a real time basis. If you choose this method  we provide a phone number, keypad instructions to the voice prompts, and user ID and password for accessing our system. Our system is accessible using a touch-tone telephone, 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week from anywhere in the country, using local or 800 number capability. Phonescriber is a digital dictation and VoiceMail system, built by Scribernet, using the Unix OS and the Voiceshaper 2004 VoIP Gateway with extensive Interactive Voice Response (IVR) capabilities. The hardware supports a range of media from POTS to T1 lines. 

To access the system dial the appropriate telephone number and wait for the voice prompt.  You will hear “Please enter The Doctor ID " followed by "Please enter the patient ID". After that, you will be ready to record your dictation. The voice prompt will guide you if you want to review your dictation in its entirety, at the end of the dictation. Dictation is recorded over telephone lines and stored on the Phonescriber computer hard drive as compact voice files. The voice files are then transferred the Webscriber server, which makes them visible on the secure Scribernet client web. They are then downloaded from the secure site by the transcriptionist and the transcribed files uploaded back again. Anyone who has used voice mail will feel familiar with this system.

The key features of this system are:

Non-proprietary PC Server
UNIX operating System
Uses  VoIP standard H.323 compliant Gateway module
Configurable Physician Prompting
Local or Toll-free Phone Access to System
Records in standard WAV format
Playback of dictation capability over the phone
Auto Authenticate Normal Reports At End Of Dictation
Supports Compressed & Encrypted Voice File 
Scalable with multiple voice server capability with  virtually no restrictions on the number of ports the system can       upgrade to       

Using ‘store and forward’ transfer technology, the physician’s dictation is routed over a telephony/ Internet backbone to the Webscriber server. The Webscriber server houses the  web, application, compression and database servers. The Webscriber  manages the end-to-end workflow of the dictation/transcription process.

When the physician voice data packets are routed  the voice is compressed.  The voice and a physician-specific template are securely routed using 168 Triple DES encryption (with an 8 bit key)  over the Internet to the transcriptionist.

The Webscriber is the web enabled platform allows us to transcribe from remote stations. The transcribed files are visible on the secure site and can be uploaded and downloaded from the site. It also allows is archive your medical transcription files for your future needs in our  Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system. This EPR system runs on a secure Windows 2000 server protected within a firewall.  We provide direct access to our Electronic Patient  Record database to retrieve transcribed text files at any time from anywhere, via any browser, with extensive search capabilities. Any web browser can be used to browse the patient files within the secure (SSL, 128 bit encrypted) Scribernet client website (www.client.scribernet.com) and download them, if required.  To ensure security and privacy, we use encryption for transmission of text and voice files. THE EPR system is driven off an ODBC compliant database.

The key features of this system are:

Internet enabled
Triple DES 168 bit encryption
8 bit key
Transcribe from anywhere
Backend SQL database
Java environment
Windows 2000 server
Firewall protected
