Here's what SmartStart Office can do for you:
VocaLinks SmartStart Office For the recorder-based professional office Starts at $1500*
The SmartStart Office plan includes set-up and orientation for one recorder user and one transcriptionist. Our speech expert will be at your site for approximately eight hours.
The recorder user will spend approximately 3.5 hours learning the functions of the recorder and relevant speech commands, creating a User profile, building an initial vocabulary, and learning the basics of the transcription process.
The transcriptionist will spend approximately 3.5 hours learning the essentials of computer-assisted transcription - including linking the recorder to the computer, extracting audio files and controlling the NaturallySpeaking proofreading and correction tools from the keyboard.
Our SmartStart Office plan can be expanded to include additional recorder users and/or transcriptionists.
The SmartStart Office plans include all of the services described below.

On-Site Installation - Anywhere in Ontario Our speech expert installs the appropriate NaturallySpeaking software, tests your recorder and its connection to the computer, and suggests steps that you can take to ensure maximum accuracy. As well, we activate several optional features within NaturallySpeaking that can assist you and your transcriptionist in formatting and correcting your documents.
Digital Recorder Introduction While on-site, our speech expert introduces you to the major controls on your digital recorder, and guides you through the process of setting up your first User profile. We ensure that the appropriate vocabulary and speech model settings are selected to provide optimal accuracy and recognition speed on your particular computer. We will also help you get acquainted with several spoken commands that will help you format your documents as you dictate.
Vocabulary Build We will help you gather and process electronic documents similar to those that you intend to dictate, in order to perform a Vocabulary Build. This process further enhances the accuracy of NaturallySpeaking by teaching it the context of words used in your typical documents, and by adding newly found words to your standard vocabulary - before you even begin to dictate. As a result, NaturallySpeaking will be better able to predict the combinations of words that you commonly use in your dictation.
Computer-Assisted Transcription Introduction Our speech expert will then introduce your transcriptionist to the fundamentals of computer-assisted transcription, including the most efficient keyboard navigation commands for using the exclusive NaturallySpeaking Playback feature. By mastering these commands, transcriptionists have found that they can produce proofread documents faster than if they were typing directly from recorded playback.
Toll-free Telephone Support You won't always remember the best way to perform every task while working with your speech recognition software. We're here to help! In addition to your on-site setup and orientation, your VocaLinks SmartStart subscription entitles you to toll-free telephone support for 12 months after we install your NaturallySpeaking software.
Upgrade Notification Speech recognition technology is evolving at a very fast pace. VocaLinks SmartStart will notify you of any NaturallySpeaking commercial upgrades released in the 12 months following your purchase, and will help you determine whether the upgrade is appropriate for you - based on the capabilities of your hardware, and the relevance of new features to the type of work you do.
SmartStart Discount Program We want you to make the most of your speech recognition tools!
Many new users find that a follow-up coaching session one or two weeks after they begin to use NaturallySpeaking can dramatically improve their dictation accuracy and give them a chance to ask any questions that have arisen during their first few weeks' experience.
Our speech experts can also help users begin to voice-automate repetitive tasks during this sort of supplementary session.
All SmartStart subscribers are eligible for a 15% discount on additional coaching and customization services, and a 10% discount on additional software and accessory purchases.
Convenience, Productivity and Peace of Mind That's what VocaLinks SmartStart is all about!
