How can you find new clients?
Having a customer acquisition strategy allows you to optimize your time and efforts. Here are some tips to increase your client base.
Have you ever used speech-to-text to write your texts?
Voice dictation is a tool that allows you to speak and transform words to a text version on a computer or cellphone, for example. For professionals who take notes when meeting with clients, this can be useful and save valuable time.
Using voice recognition in the course of your work is quite achievable and can save you precious minutes.
For GOrendezvous electronic charting users, it's possible to add an extension on your web browser or use the integrated option of your tablet to dictate your notes, which will be automatically added to your clients’ files.
Benefits of speech recognition
-
Very effective
The tools are increasingly sophisticated and precise; now, with 95% word accuracy, Google has the most advanced tool. To add punctuation, you just have to say what you want, for example, “period” to close the sentence.
-
Faster
It’s much faster to dictate, so you can save time on every appointment.
-
Freedom
Speaking instead of writing frees your hands and allows you to do several things simultaneously; for example, you can assess your client and dictate your observations at the same time.
