19. A computer-implemented method for simplifying the pasting of textual transcriptions from a transcription engine into an application, comprising: executing an application other than a document creation application at a workstation adapted to receive audio input; maintaining the application other than the document creation application in an active window of the workstation; creating an audio file at the workstation from the received audio input; transmitting the audio file to a transcription engine wherein the transcription engine converts the audio file to a textual file; receiving the textual file from the transcription engine at the workstation; automatically loading the textual file to a copy buffer of the workstation without invoking the document creation application; subsequently pasting the textual file to the application maintained in the active window.
