Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides a system and method for integrating one or more electronic transcription systems ( 12 ) having sessions providing data on a network ( 18 ) wherein real-time, two-way interactive access to the data by one or more remote users to the system is provided. In particular, the system and method provides one or more electronic transcription systems operably connected such that one or more users can access one or more of the electronic transcription systems. By networking the one or more electronic transcription systems and decoupling the processes of recording a particular transcription session, storing the data from the session on a network, and accessing the data, a wider range of control, access, and utilization of the electronic transcription systems can be accomplished.
