Achieve Results
Training Helps Goldberg Segalla Boost Productivity and
Reduce Administrative Costs
 |
Neil A. Goldberg
Goldberg Segalla, LLP
Buffalo, New York |
With each attorney
capable of generating documents by speaking rather
than dictating or typing, the firm’s reliance on
administrative staff will decline. “Our goal is to
have 3 – 3.5 attorneys per secretary,” says Goldberg,
instead of the current ratio of 2-2.5 attorneys per
secretary. “It will allow us to be more efficient in
our use of staff,” he explains. “We’re talking a
savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars,” he says.
Perhaps even more
important, however, is the improved accuracy of the
client documents generated. Speech recognition
software “allows you to create a more accurate and
complete work product,” says Goldberg.

Differences between
Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred Edition and Legal
Edition
 Dragon
NaturallySpeaking has 5 different editions, Standard,
Preferred, Professional, Legal, and Medical. Each
edition has been specifically tuned to meet the
demands of the user in a particular way. At its core,
all 5 editions share the same base vocabulary of
words, however, Medical has an additional 30,000 words
and Legal has an additional 25,000 words, unique to
the specific profession.
Although the vocabularies may roughly be the same, the
way in which Dragon interprets certain usage of words
vary depending upon the edition of Dragon you are
using. The Legal edition is optimized to recognize
unique words used within the legal profession....

Productive,
yes... efficient, maybe not so…
 I'm
going to assume that it is safe to say, most of us are
productive individuals. We would not have been able to
achieve our role in the professional community if we
didn't produce desired results. Yet, are we efficient?
Do we produce the desired results utilizing the least
amount of resources; time, money, staff etc.
Before investing in speech recognition technology take
the time to identify a method to measure efficient
productivity gains. Keep the method simple -- The more
complicated, that greater risk of inaccurate results
or worse, not following through at all.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Your comments
allow for continuous enhancement to the services we
offer our customers. (585)586-4550 x227
My very best,
Dana
