DIGITAL DICTATION SYSTEM WITH VOICE MAIL CAPABILITY Abstract of the Disclosure A digitally implemented central dictation system wherein users designated as dictators may input Voice Files for later retrieval and transcription by a second group of users designated as transcriptionists. A system Supervisor has the capability to monitor operation of the system and allocate system resources. The system further includes an optional Voice Mail capability wherein selected dictators may input Voice Files for later retrieval by designated other dictators. The system is implemented on commercially available voice processing hardware such as the DSC 2000 Voiceserver produced by the Digital Sound Corporation, which includes an operating system such as the UNIX system and a voice operating system for providing primitive voice handling functions such as A/D conversion, speech compression, storage and retrieval of Voice Files, digital to analog conversion, etc. The system further includes a plurality of telephone- like input/output devices used by system users for input and output of voice messages, which devices further include DTMF generators for input of command signals. Still further the system includes a Supervisory station for use by the system Supervisor in monitoring system activity and allocation of system resources, which station further includes a CRT type display and keyboard, and a printer for output of hardcopy reports by the system. The Supervisor station is also provided with a telephone-like input/output device for use by the system Supervisor. The telephone-like input out devices of the system users may be either conventional telephones which access the system through a conventional PBX or may be telephone-like devices which are directly connected to dedicated system ports. The system of the subject invention further comprises a software architecture consisting of two concurrently executing programs, the Supervisor Session and the Voice Session. The Supervisor Session controls access by the system Supervisor and provides capabilities for monitoring system activities and allocation of system resources. The Voice Session controls access by the system users and provides capabilities for input, storage and retrieval, distribution, and output of Voice Files.
