| Frequently
asked questions for Speech Technology: |
| What
is speech technology? |
| Speech
recognition technology or automatic
speech recognition is the technology
that converts spoken words to text.
This technology is used in many hospitals
to recognize the speech of doctors and
to have the computers automatically
generate the transcript. |
| Is
it really possible for computers to
recognize garbled voices and medical
terms of doctors? |
| Yes,
it is possible to train the computers
to recognize the medical terms of the
doctors; however, while using such technology,
even the doctors are trained to dictate
as clearly as possible. If the voice
is too garbled, then you will need manual
intervention. |
| How
much of work is processed using this
technology? |
| Intelligent
speech recognition software turns clinician
dictations into formatted draft documents
that medical transcriptionists (MTs)
review and edit. You will be surprised
to know that 82.86% of our workload
is already on speech recognition platform,
which means we do not use any MTs at
all to transcribe 82.86% of our workload.
All 82.86% of the volume needs to be
proofread by editors. |
| What
is the average accuracy output of the
speech recognition technology? |
| There
accuracy output from recognition engines
varies for individual physicians. As
a result of usage, the speech recognition
will improve over time. |
