1. A system for correlating spoken information with a specified data field within a database application accessible through a user interface comprising:
- a means for initiating speech recording and the creation of a digital audio file with a unique identifier;
a means for automatically inserting the unique identifier into any appropriate field in a user interface;
a means for transmitting the recorded audio file;
a means for converting the recorded audio file to a text file with the same unique identifier;
a means of receiving back the converted text file;
a means of replacing the unique identifier associated with the digital audio file in the appropriate field in the user interface with the contents of the corresponding text file.a means of monitoring one or more of the unique identifiers, the digital audio files, and the converted text files.
