About Dolbey

How it all began

In 1914, John Dolbey formed a partnership with Thomas A. Edison to make available the earliest dictation inventions to the business community. During the 20th century, as dictation evolved from the wax cylinder to today’s digital recording, Dolbey and Company, Inc., successfully navigated these revolutionary changes.

In the mid-1980s Dolbey and Company began developing its own medical transcription and document management software, laying the groundwork for today’s robust suite of Fusion Text^® and Fusion Speech^®, powered by Nuance’s SpeechMagic™. Dolbey and Company most recently released the cloud-based speech recognition and workflow automation solution, Fusion Narrate^® powered by nVoq™.

In 1994, Dolbey Systems, Inc., was formed and became a close partner, concentrating on dictation systems. Dolbey Systems’ Fusion Voice^® has become an integral part of our Fusion suite of products. Together, the Dolbey companies (collectively referred to on this website as “Dolbey”) have built an integrated solution for dictation, transcription, speech recognition, computer-assisted coding, and clinical documentation.

Our voice and text solutions focus on providing solutions that help manage the collaborative workflow process and are sold in many vertical markets, including healthcare, legal, financial services, manufacturing, public safety and contact centers.
