Legal Management Systems: LMS+ WebTime Compatible with 'Talk to Text'

Many of us are familiar with the 'talk to text' or ‘speech to text’ functionality (a.k.a., dictation) on our mobile devices.  We often use it to draft quick emails or send hands-free texts.

Did you know that Rippe & Kingston's LMS+ WebTime supports this feature when utilizing a mobile device with dictation?

If your device has the ‘talk to text’ feature and you have access to LMS+, you can enter narrative into WebTime just by the sound of your voice!

For those of you that have devices with dictation, you can select the microphone from your keyboard when you are ready to enter narrative.  Once you select it, speak away!

For instance, on an iPad Mini with dictation, select the microphone to start it and select the pop-up microphone to stop it and view the narrative.

Utilizing 'talk to text' with LMS+ WebTime is easy & convenient!

Legal Management Systems: Minding Your Clients with Watchlists

Many of us understand the importance of monitoring the growth of our practice, but do we pay close enough attention to our current Clients and Matters? 

Rippe & Kingston's LMS+ Client/Matter Minding Watchlist can help!

The Client/Matter Minding Watchlist, also available at the Firm level, prompts you to not only ask the important questions, but also gives you the answers.

Are my Clients receiving the proper level of attention? 

Do I have Clients that need to be contacted? 

Are there Clients that I should take out to lunch, rather than eat at my desk? 

If you aren't contacting your Clients, your competition might be!

 

Once you have the answers, you can take the necessary steps to improve your Client relationships.

Legal Management Systems: LMSV Import Facility

We hope you’ve had a strong start to the new year and know that many of you are seeking ways to save time and eliminate duplicative efforts in 2014.   

For instance, do you ever have to enter data into your Financial Management System that is already in Excel (e.g., Attorney rates, journal entries, budgets, etc.)?   Do you feel like that's a waste of your valuable energy when keying the data twice?

Today, we wanted to take a moment to suggest Rippe & Kingston's LMSV Import Facility as a solution.

For those of you not familiar with it, the Import Facility allows you to import and validate data from your Excel spreadsheet.  Once any errors are corrected, the spreadsheet can then be uploaded directly to the appropriate LMS Table.  It's as simple as 1-2-3!

Other beneficial features of the LMSV Import Facility include:

•  Showing you how to format the Excel spreadsheet
•  Allowing you to enter your own notes and rules for the import
•  Browsing to the Excel Spreadsheet from LMSV
