Speech Recognition

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) Systems

    The new technology of Speech Recognition is getting better and better and is now ready to challenge the traditional dictation/transcribing techniques of getting thoughts, ideas and observations down on paper.  Of course an even more advanced concept is to eliminate the need for paper records by storing them electronically. For a discussion of these challenges, read ASR Benefits & Hurdles

    For a glimpse of our new brochure:

    WorkFlow Solutions'   (WFS) specialty is the development of medical vocabularies and the integration of same with speech products as well as various medical records management offerings.  We have built the following medical vocabularies to date:

    Gastroenterology                  Pathology                         Podiatry
    Dermatology                        Endocrinology                   Ob-Gyn
    Orthopedic                           Chiropractic                      Cardiology      Ophthalmology                     Rheumatology                   DermoPathology
    Hand Surgery                      

    For a quick discussion of the economics of speech recognition and the necessary computations required to obtain a Return-On-Investment ROI figure, go to Economic Justification.

    Having seen clients struggle with competing claims, demonstrations and persuasiveness of sales people of vendor offerings to do the same task, we have prepared some recommendations for those Evaluating ASR

    In the final analysis, the utility of ASR comes down to: how effective is the user with the tool and the recognition accuracy of the software. These translate into dollars and cents for a busy medical practice and all these considerations are discussed together with the economics in our Speech Recognition White Paper

    To give the reader an idea of what an initial professional installation might look like, we have put together two single workstation configurations - one where the user dictates directly into the PC through a headset or hand held microphone and the other where the user dictates into a portable tape recorder for subsequent transfer into the PC. For more detail see ASR Configurations .
