Abstract: A method and system for transcribing dictation information from an author in an electronic communication environment and permitting real-time review and correction of the transcribed information by the author is disclosed. An author may request either a particular or next-available transcriptionist for transcribing a document using a first communication device. If a transcriptionist accepts the request using a second communication device, a communication session is initiated. The author dictates information using the first communication device. The transcriptionist receives the information via the second communication device and transcribes the information. As the information is transcribed, the first communication device displays the transcribed information substantially in real time. The author and/or the transcriptionist may edit the displayed information during the communication session.
