Abstract

A method and device for synchronizing data between analog and digital mediums recorded either simultaneously from a single source or recorded from different sources, which requires synchronization. User-Data recorded in analog medium is referenced with out-of-band unique digital reference-data that is generated by the interface device to mark the position of the user data. The same reference-data communicated by the device and the user-data are stored in the digital medium also and a relationship is computed and established in the form of a table between the reference-data and the positions of the recorded user-data. Whenever there is a manipulation of the User-data on either of the mediums for the purpose of viewing, listening or editing, the Reference-data in that medium is interpreted by the device and the corresponding location of the user-data in the other medium is accessed by using the table. Manipulation to the user-data done, on either medium, any number of times is reflected on the user-data in the other medium. The objective of data synchronization stands achieved.

Claims

1. A method of capturing dictations for use in transcriptions, said method comprising:

a) dictating dictation information onto at least one recording medium that stores said dictation information in the form of recording medium data;

b) simultaneously recording onto at least one computer audio file in the form of computer audio file data; and

c) making changes to the recording medium data based on required corresponding changes in the dictation information

wherein said changes to the recording medium data are automatically reflected in the computer audio file data on a real time basis.

2. A system for performing dictations comprising:

at least one recording device that records dictation information on to a recording medium;

at least one computer that creates a computer audio file that comprises said dictation information,

wherein when changes are made to the information recorded in the recording medium, these changes are automatically reflected in the computer audio file on a real time basis.
