Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method of generating a report comprises a contacting step, a receiving step, an input string storing step, a reviewing of the input string step, a combining step, a report storing step, and a report delivering step.

Claims

1. A method of generating a report comprising the steps of:

a) a user contacting an input receiving system;

b) the input receiving system receiving an input string from the user, wherein the input string comprises one or more pre-determined trigger words, trigger phrases, and/or trigger text;

c) the input receiving system storing the input string for future retrieval;

d) retrieving of the stored input string by a reviewing system;

e) reviewing of the stored input string by the reviewing system, wherein each of the trigger words, trigger phrases, and/or trigger text are each recognized by the reviewing system and are each associated with one or more pre-recorded audio files, image files, text files, and/or video files by the reviewing system;

f) combining the one or more associated pre-recorded audio files, image files, text files, and/or video files into a report; and

g) storing of the report for later retrieval.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of delivering the report to at least one intended recipient.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of delivering the report includes the step of electronically transmitting the report over a network to the at least one intended recipient.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of delivering the report includes the step of a telephonic audio delivery, an e-mail, a facsimile transmission, or a combination thereof.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of delivering the report includes the step of recording the report onto portable media and physically distributing the portable media to an intended recipient.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of authenticating the user as being an authorized user.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the string of one or more pre-determined trigger words, trigger phrases, and/or trigger text includes one or more trigger words, trigger phrases, and/or trigger text in which an audio file, an image file, a text file, and/or a video file is recorded as part of the input string, to produce one or more pre-recorded audio files, image files, text files, and/or video files, and wherein the one or more produced pre-recorded audio files, image files, text files, and/or video files are stored for subsequent retrieval.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the string of one or more pre-determined trigger words, trigger phrases, and/or trigger text includes one or more trigger words, trigger phrases, and/or trigger text comprising a project identifier input, which identifies a particular project.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the method further comprises incorporation of a pre-recorded opening statement, closing statement, or a combination thereof, triggered by the project identifier input.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the input receiving system comprises one or more web-based applications capable of receiving an input string from the user.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the input string received by one or more of the web-based applications includes text, check boxes, audio, video, universal resource locators, or a combination thereof.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises one or more quality control steps, wherein the quality of the report being generated is reviewed and passed on for further processing or returned to a previous step for modification, prior to the storing of the report for later retrieval.
