Informatics firm Dolbey has received a new patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its speech recognition and dictation technology.
U.S. Patent No. 8,589,160 describes the technology used in the company's Fusion SpeechEMR product, which allows physicians to use speech recognition to insert text into almost any free form text area within any electronic health record (EHR) or third-party application, without the need for specialized integration, Dolbey said.
