Speech recognition developer Philips Speech Processing of Vienna will unveil version 6.1 of its SpeechMagic voice recognition and document creation platform at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference in San Diego next week.
SpeechMagic 6.1 boosts speech recognition accuracy, according to the company, and its scalability has been raised to up to 15,000 users per cluster. In addition, the software's architecture allows for fully centralized administration and management, facilitating integration with medical IT systems such as electronic medical records (EMR) applications.
To enhance the transcription workflow, the software calculates the amount of correction a recognized text will require and intelligently routes the document to the most suitable transcriptionist. Philips said that this capability provides new management options: Documents with a high error rate, for example, can be sent directly to an external transcription service, with accurate texts going to in-house transcriptionists.
SpeechMagic 6.1 has full backward compatibility with version 5.1 of the application, which allows all user adaptations to be transferred to the new version, Philips said.
