Crescendo presents foreground speech recognition

CrescendoCrescendo front-end speech recognition powered by Speech Magic™ is a particularly attractive feature for physicians who prefer to look after the full report generation process. It enables them to edit and finalise documents on-screen in real-time, without the involvement of a transcriptionist: fantastic on weekends or for highly confidential documents.

It is also best suited for environments such as Radiology, Pathology and Emergency Medicine, where reports are relatively short and usually "normal" (negative findings) and experienced medical transcriptionists are more and more difficult to find. Crescendo's front-end speech recognition can also be implemented in combination with their back-end solution, leaving all document correction options open for healthcare facilities.

PhilipsSpeech recognition turns industrial grade

Philips provides healthcare professionals world-wide with industrial grade document creation technology. The upcoming version of Philips SpeechMagic optimizes the accuracy, security and administration of medical document creation. The software architecture allows for fully centralized administration and management, facilitating integration with medical IT systems such as Electronic Patient Records (EPR) systems. The error rate has been reduced by 30% and scalability has been raised to up to 15,000 users per cluster.

Sophisticated learning algorithms ensure automated and immediate adaptation to the dictation style and pronunciation of each author. SpeechMagic even calculates the amount of correction a recognised text will require and intelligently routes the document to the most suitable transcriptionist.

Crescendo, G2Speech, Hospital Engineering, IMS Maxims, Soliton IT, and Voice Technologies offer medical reporting solutions "powered by SpeechMagic". Major international firms also use the technology to speech-enable their products, among them AGFA Healthcare, Kodak Health, GE Healthcare, iSOFT, Siemens Medical Solutions and Philips Medical Systems.
