What is Medical Speech Recognition?

Medical Speech Recognition (MSR) is any technology that allows you to speak what you want to type. The dictation that you speak appears right on the screen.

How is Medical Speech Recognition used?

MSR is installed as a third party add on for EHR. The MSR integrates into the system and converts spoken word into text on the screen. Short key commands also integrate into the EHR. This facilitates the movement between text boxes, pages and screens.

Voice recognition is a technology that can learn words and phrases. This is a must for the medical industry. Once a word is in the system, a clinician never has to worry about misspelling the term. This is often done by accident.
