About World Wide Dictation

World Wide Dictation Service is a family owned and operated business that prides itself on having a small business environment with big business aptitude.

In 1964, Herbert Ofner knew that doctors needed an easy, cost effective way to dictate and transcribe medical documents. As such, he would drive around Westchester County, Manhattan, The Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens picking up reel-to-reel and cassette tapes. He would bring these back to his office and hand them out to the medical transcriptionists. These highly-trained medical transcription professionals armed with oversized headphones, a typewriter, and two pieces of paper with carbon paper in between would begin typing away. Each day he would deliver the completed documents and pick up additional tapes for transcription.

This system worked well for quite some time; then came a new generation with new ideas. Douglas Ofner, Herb's son, loved computers. Each day, Douglas would have ideas to make the medical transcription run more efficiently. What if we captured the audio digitally instead of on tape? What if our medical transcriptionists who work in our office could access these files over a computer network? What if our customers could connect to that network and access their medical transcription word documents? Suddenly, World Wide Dictation was the first company to offer online Digital Dictation and Medical Transcription Services using the Internet.

World Wide Dictation is now a second generation, family-owned business. The constant that has been in this company since 1964 has been pride in the documents produced and the best customer service available. Whether we deliver documents by hand, by mail or over the internet securely… Whether they are duplicates from carbon paper from a typewriter or a digital file retrieved from our secure website, you can be sure that the document is letter perfect every time. Although the technology has changed, the quality of the product remains unaltered.
