Crescendo SystemsDigiScribe-XL is an end-to-end Digital Dictation, Speech Recognition and Referral Management system that is currently trusted by tens of thousands of UK professionals. Available as part of the GP Systems of Choice (GPSoC) framework, DigiScribe-XL offers a modular, building block approach that suits the needs of any primary care environment with almost any budget.

  • Digital Dictation & Transcription brings efficiency gains from day one 

Easy to deploy and easy to use, DigiScribe-XL speeds up the dictation process (desktop, mobile or Smartphone) and dramatically reduces turnaround times. Thanks to our unique voice streaming technology, doctors can work in real-time from virtually any location, whether they are in the main practice, at a branch surgery or on the move using our free smartphone app.

  • Speech Recognition 

Is available for onscreen consultation (front-end mode) into your clinical system or via automated transcription for your referral letters (back-end mode) whereby secretaries only have to review and correct letters. Also unique to Crescendo: the ability for doctors to switch between front-end and back-end modes at any time to bring even more flexibility to the overall workflow.

  • Clinical Systems Integration with TPP, EMIS & INPS 

Speeds up the dictation & typing process by auto populating patient details on every dictation. This eliminates typing errors and potential cross referrals.

  • Advanced Referral Reporting

Helping you make informed clinical decisions by providing detailed, real-time visibility over your referral trends within your practice/CCG/locality (who is referring what to where, high referrers, training needs, how do we stack up against others in our CCG, etc.)

  • Outsourced Transcription is available 24/7 and is cheaper than employing typing staff

Whether you need ad-hoc or day-to-day document creation, we have the resources to suit your needs.

  • Security is another strength of ours

DigiScribe-XL is the only Digital Dictation System on the market that meets both IGSoC (Information Governance Statement of Compliance) and GPSoC security requirements laid down by HSCIC. With Crescendo you can safely host, and share data across the NHS N3/HSCN with complete peace of mind.

  • Free 30-day Trial

At Crescendo, bullet-proof technology meets value-for-money: we offer lower support fees and we don’t charge for Smartphone dictation or software upgrades. Book your free, 30-day trial here and find out why more and more UK practices are switching to Crescendo.

Has made a huge difference to the workload of the secretaries! The clinicians found it took some time initially getting use to the voice recognition and how best to utilise the software. They now find it invaluable and use it also for long complicated consultations which allows them to spend more time with the patients. Excellent piece of software!

We have used Dragon Dictation software through Crescendo for years now across two sites and we highly recommend them. Their Technical Support is simply amazing and they support you fully through any issues (normally user errors/issues rather than software issues!) Our GPs rely heavily on their Dictation Software and Crescendo have always been fantastic to deal with. Would highly recommend them.

Excellent Type-on-the-Fly dictation software and scarily accurate! Really customisable and accurate with new words and excellent custom command feature allowing for inserting signature blocks etc with a specific phrase and no faffing with cut and paste. Only issue we have encountered is the typical problem of those of a large healthcare organisation with software conflicts which have always been resolved with the help of Crescendo and our IT team. Only thing missing for us is the potential for a 'mobile' profile. Working in different consulting rooms means quite a longwinded process to have the most up-to-date profile available for you in each room but this is not unsurmountable with a little effort.

Overall excellent and it has transformed our practice. Patients often have their clinic letter almost immediately and frequently before they leave the hospital premises as the integration with Crescendo ->Word -> SystmOne - NHS.net email allows for very fast turnaround of communications.

The secretarial staff also made the change wit minimal disruption. The technical support is quick, responsive and efficient. I am now working with Crescendo to facilitate the off line transcription facility which will enhance capability and reduce reliance on audio typing skills.

The system is very reliable and if any issues do occur the support team are excellent, they respond exceptionally fast which is important in this industry. Cannot fault them at all and would 100% recommend them.

Moved over from another system and haven't looked back. Technical Support have always been very responsive and we have been able to flex the licences when required due to changing staffing profiles.

Very happy that we made the move to digital dictation after struggling for years with corrupt tapes, muffled dictation etc. Our GPs weren't sure about the benefits versus the cost of annual support, but it has transformed how we work particularly:
- clear dictation, and the ability to slow down speech for transcribing without distorting the sound
- worklists - our secretaries log on in the morning and know exactly how many letters await them, how long each one is and the urgency, so they can prioritise their time.
- audit trail - completed letters are still accessible, and recently I was able to prove to my beleaguered secretaries that June is historically the busiest month for them, and that "this too would pass" when they were feeling stressed and overworked!
- efficient, prompt technical support
If you can afford to move from audio tapes, it's definitely worth it and I would thoroughly recommend Crescendo.

Excellent Service from start to finish. Ian the Account Manager was very pleasant and gave a first class service. We also required helpdesk support after the install and again the service was excellent. The clinicians and admin staff at the practice are delighted with the end product, and as the product integrates with our clinical system it has made the dictation process quicker and smoother all round. I highly recommend the Crescendo dictation system, sales and after care.

Very impressed - easy to install, easy to use and great customer service from John. No hard sell and a reasonable amount of trial period so we could really get to grips with it before making a purchasing decision. I would recommend.

A very efficient and reactive organisation. They listened to the requirement and then developed the tailored solution. A high end product with an exceptional trial package that allows a complete exploration of the services. Nothing is too much trouble for this engaging company and we are extremely happy with the product that we opted for. I have no hesitation in recommending Crescendo as a provider of digital dictation solutions.

We moved to Crescendo approximately 5 years ago as the digital dictation software we were using was constantly letting us down. We have never regretted the decision to move to Crescendo. We are an extremely large multisite practice covering six branch sites and a patient count in excess of 38K. Crescendo has allowed us to streamline our secretarial group allowing secretaries to cover each other without the need to physically move sites. Being such a large practice we have a steady stream of registrars working with us for short periods of time and although it is a very easy system to navigate around i.e. setting up new users we tend to contact the technical support department who always give excellent support to do this for us. We have had major upgrades at the practice including new servers and again Crescendo were on hand to help the migration. I cannot fault the product or the support we receive from the company, I would 100% recommend them.

We are a five GP, three site practice where the GPs also work remotely. The Crescendo Digidictate system has allowed them to dictate from any location, information is transmitted encrypted and securely. The practice secretary's workload has become much easier to manage, work can be prioritised, the clarity of the dictation is much better and it is simpler to 'hook out' urgently required referrals from within a batch. We are very happy with our decision to use Crescendo.

We have had Crescendo Digidictate for many years and this has worked very well for our practice. It is easy to use, even locum doctors can pick up how to use it very quickly! It streamlines the dictation of letters so that everyone knows where the letters are in the system. The support we have received from Crescendo has been excellent, any problems quickly and efficiently dealt with.

As a Practice with 4 separate surgeries - Crescendo digital dictation system was, and is, an invaluable tool in the smooth running of our Typing and Administration pool. The system is reliable and any problems are quickly and efficiently dealt with by Crescendo support staff at the end of a help line. It is a good product and the after sales support is excellent.

We have been using Crescendo for a couple of years now. It has transformed the way we work as we are on two different sites so we are able to see instantly what the typing situation is across them both. Previously we would not know. The system is easy to use, clear and concise. Highly recommended.

Of all the third party software products that we use Cresendo's digital dictation system is not only one of the most useful but also the most reliable and easy to use.
It just works.
The added benefits of being able to use an associated app to make recordings out of the surgery and transcribe phone recordings make this a very feature rich product.
From a management point of view it needs virtually no intervention but on the rare occasions that I have asked for support (usually because I've forgotten something) Crescendo have always been responsive and incredibly helpful.

GP can dictate, review and change; no corrupt or lost tapes; dictation can be linked to patient record; Secretary can pick up in GP, priority or duration order allowing freedom to work through list, audio files stored so you can listen back later if required. Set-up was supported and helpful when we had to change computers and server. Turn around time for letters much quicker. All in all, Crescendo digital dictation has made the process more effective and efficient.

Technical support, likewise, very good and importantly the installation training was personalised and on site which makes all the difference.

We have been using Crescendo for the past 18 months and it has had a really positive impact on our admin processes. The turnaround in GP referral times has been huge with our secretaries now able to prioritise the most urgent cases and act on them as soon as the GP has dictated them. We could not recommend it enough.
