Anyone can download the application to an Android phone free of charge. Once downloaded the application can record and store dictation jobs. In order to progress further to send, transcribe and create documents, the user needs to have a Winscribe server licence. Winscribe for Android is also available on an OnDemand basis.</p>
<p>Winscribe for Android provides similar functionality to the Winscribe for iPhone application, designed for professionals on the move. With an easy to use interface, Winscribe for Android is fully in line with the trend of the mobile community for intuitive tools.  Part of the Winscribe mobility suite, transmission of dictation files happens via HTTPS protocol to ensure the highest levels of client confidentiality. Another Winscribe classic, enhanced visibility and control, gives users the ability to view where jobs are at in the transcription process and modify workflows accordingly.</p>
<p>Some functionalities that are unique to Winscribe for Android:</p>
<ul><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<li><strong>Picture Attachment &amp; Geo-Location functionality</strong> allows professionals to attach pictures, and utilize      geo-location functionality to easily add the user&#8217;s location to the      dictation file (including a map). This unique feature could be used by      insurance company investigators out at accident sites as just one      example.For full photo functionality, the device requires a minimum memory      capacity of 512 MB</li>
<div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<li><strong>Barcode scanning technology</strong> &#8211; Winscribe for Android utilizes innovative barcode      scanning technology allowing professionals to scan client information and      pre-populate document templates with demographic information. This      technology is particularly useful for the medical industry where a doctor      is able to scan a barcode on a patient&#8217;s file or wristband and attach      dictations directly to their record. Not only does this technology help      streamlining the process, it also ensures data consistency and eliminates      the risk of incorrect data assignment. Winscribe for Android can even go      further and use &#8220;QR codes&#8221; and &#8220;data matrix&#8221; type      codes to feed the application with complex data even faster.</li>
<div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<li><strong>Graphical User Interface based on customer feedback</strong> &#8211; One of the highlights of the new application is its      new, user friendly and intuitive interface based on our customer&#8217;s      feedback. The new interface requires a minimal number of clicks to create,      send and review dictations which will help the users get their job done      quicker and therefore improve their overall efficiency.</li>
</ul>
<p>Winscribe for Android is designed to run on all Android phones with touchscreen capabilities, and a Secure Digital (SD) card. It has been tested on a number of devices; please contact your Account Manager for a detailed list.</p>
<p>Note: Android phones have different screen resolutions as this is not currently standardized like the Apple iPhone. As a result the final rendering of graphics will vary across each device. Uniformity with the user interfaces in the application cannot be guaranteed. The optimal resolution is 480 x 800 pixels.</p>
<p>The Android application requires Pocket Author Server v4.1.3.4 which works with Winscribe Dictation version 3.8 or higher.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span id="more-1560"></span>The Forum of Private Business (FPB) has warned small businesses should check that images used on their websites are not infringing copyright rules,. There has been a noticeable increase in calls from firms who have unwittingly used copyright protected images resulting in demands for payment from the owners. Companies all too often expect web designers to gain permission for images they use but be warned they do not always do so, and liability for copyright infringement lies with the business owner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span>We are pleased to announce in partnership with our partner Spitfire that we can now accept orders for IPv6 on Ethernet circuits. The core network is IPv6 ready and both EFM and Fibre Ethernet, together with their managed Cisco routers, also now support IPv6. <span id="more-1551"></span></p>
<h2>What is World IPv6 day?</h2>
<p>World IPv6 day is organized by the Internet Society and this year some of the biggest content providers on the Internet such as Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Akamai are going to be taking part in the biggest experiment yet to find “IPv6 brokeness”.</p>
<h2>What is going to happen?</h2>
<p>These large internet players already have IPv6 enabled services but they have put them on special</p>
<p>domains such as ipv6.google.com and www.v6.facebookbook.com. So if you lookup the regular</p>
<p>www.facebook.com you only get an IPv4 address returned and of you lookup www.v6.facebook.com</p>
<p>you only get an IPv6 address returned (the IP address being 2620:0:1cfe:face:b00c::3 by the way!).</p>
<p>On 8th June for a period of 24 hours these websites will turn on IPv6 DNS replies for their main URLs –</p>
<p>www.facebook.com and www.google.com</p>
<h2>What might break?</h2>
<p>The predictions are that a very small amount of people (estimates vary from 0.05% to 0.15%) will not be able the reach these pages for the day. The purpose of these big content providers taking part for the first time is that they will be able to compare usage levels with comparable days and identify the scale if any in the reduction in traffic. In addition because they are such highly frequented websites if they start “dropping off the Internet” people will notice and report the issues which will help tease out as yet unidentified issues. Known issues are with some versions of the Opera/Firefox web browser, some versions of Apple OS and Windows Vista – these have bugs that when presented with an IPv6 and an IPv4 address choose only the IPv6 address or take a very long time to fallback to the IPv4 address. This is a problem when over 99% of Internet users only have IPv4 connectivity so cannot reach the IPv6 address at the moment.</p>
<h2>Why do this?</h2>
<p>It is an important exercise for two reasons. Firstly as the Internet transitions to IPv6 it is important to remain backwards compatible with IPv4 as the two are likely to exist in “dual stacked” systems for many years this day should prove whether that is possible. Secondly if it all goes to plan it gives confidence to other websites to start moving their content to Ipv6.</p>
<h2>What happens at the end of IPv6 day?</h2>
<p>It is expected that after 24 hours the DNS records will be changed back so everyone can look at the results and sit back and take stock.</p>
