Enhanced Speech Recognition System

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 07 Oct 2005
An enhancement to a professional document-creation platform has been developed that offers improved speech recognition.

The SpeechMagic speech recognition system, developed by Philips Speech Recognition Systems (Vienna, Austria; www.speechrecognition.philips.com), is now being used in Citrix (Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA) environments.
Citrix develops information technology (IT) systems that support 23 recognition languages and provide a range of more than 150 recognition vocabularies for the medical, legal, governmental, and financial sectors. More...
More than 50 million Citrix users worldwide can now benefit from increased documentation efficiency and lower operating costs.

The deployment of speech recognition and digital dictation applications from Citrix servers will result in more efficient documentation workflow. It will also enable the centralization of IT administration and features such as automatic learning and acoustic adaptation, reducing the drain on financial and human resources. By centralizing applications and data delivery, Citrix and SpeechMagic are able to provide a very high level of security (no files are stored locally), dramatically improving the protection of personal data.

By adding bi-directional audio capabilities, Citrix enabled the digital recordings to be uploaded, and Philips developed a real-time speech recognition channel. This channel improves the usability of dictation hardware, including Philips' SpeechMike and allows for the deployment of the full range of speech recognition features within a Citrix environment. Numerous users can now dictate simultaneously anywhere within the Citrix network.

"Citrix infrastructure is popular with large institutions in the healthcare, legal, and finance industries. With SpeechMagic being geared towards industrial-grade document creation, our award-winning platform has been optimized for these industries,” remarked Marcel Wassink, managing director, Philips Speech Recognition Systems. "This co-operation with Citrix opens the door to a vast new market for Philips and its partners.”

Images from patient T1, who had menstrual cycle–dependent right shoulder pain. (A) Maximum-intensity-projection images show abnormal findings for right diaphragm (arrowhead), bilateral round ligaments, peritoneum around bilateral ovaries, and left fallopian tube. Combined PET/MRI show hyperintense lesion with focal uptake inferior of right diaphragm, indicative of endometriosis (arrowhead, B). Confirmatory laparoscopy demonstrated extensive pelvic disease and implants of right diaphragm (C) that stained intensely positive for FAP (D).  (Image Credit: Schindler P, Brandt J, Bobe S, et al.
