In Brief: The Columbus Bar Blawg

by Paul J. Unger, Esq., Affinity Consulting Group

The sound-recorder built into the iPhone and iPad is too basic for lawyers who need to do more traditional features of dictation equipment.  A few months ago, I learned about a great dictation app called Dictamus that I use almost daily, Dictamus Dictate & Send ($14.99).
 
Like a traditional digital recorder, one can rewind, overwrite and insert anywhere within the audio recording. Once you are finished with the recording, download the  recordings, send as e-mails, or upload to Dropbox, MobileMe, FTP or WebDAV. Many attorneys use Dictamus to email dictation to a virtual assistant.  I use it to record my timesheets when I am on the go so I capture more billable time.

To see the latest choices in iPhone and iPad Apps come to the CBA@noon session on February 28 from noon to 1:00pm. Contact Donna Sweet (donna@cbalaw.org) to reserve your spot.
