4) Reusable data - voice data can be used like any other data can be. It can be reuse any time as recorded as electronic health records
5) Flexibility - it is easy to move the voice data from one place to other place without any risk of misplacing , errors and changes in data and voice data isn't linked to a single data and enhance overall health care .
