Features of SpeechMagic 6.1

Support of existing workflows SpeechMagic supports a variety of reporting scenarios which enable you to choose your preferred and most efficient document creation workflow such as backend, frontend with deferred correction, frontend with online correction and two-tier workflow whereby the author dictates and the secretary takes care of correction.
Advanced frontend and backend speech recognition features Switch between frontend and backend recognition when required or desired.
SpeechMagic InterActive (frontend) SpeechMagic InterActive enables you to dictate directly into templates, inserting text blocks and dictating into fields. Using voice commands, you can navigate hands-free: select a patient's file from a list or format a text.
2 minutes Initial Training Although the Initial Training is optional, a 2-minute training is recommended. Non-native speakers will need to add some more minutes.
Immediate adaptation SpeechMagic continuously adapts to the way users dictate – the vocabulary they use, the way they speak. You can also add unknown words to perfectly match your specific needs. This adaptation concept minimizes manual interaction and results in an immediate improvement in the recognition rate.
High accuracy speech recognition and Intelligent Speech Interpretation Accurate recognition needs to be combined with intelligent interpretation. SpeechMagic transcribes dosages, measurements etc. into a standardized format, and it can also isolate and exclude irrelevant information like hesitations and silences. Furthermore, it detects where punctuation is needed and sets it automatically. SpeechMagic also supports the insertion of Auto-texts and dictation in templates.
Extensive professional language and ConText portfolio Philips offers 25 languages and 150 ConTexts. Speech recognition vocabularies cover special terms and abbreviations for the medical, legal, financial and insurance areas.
Choice of input devices SpeechMagic supports a variety of dictation recording devices. PC-compatible microphones and headsets, wired, wireless, handheld, handheld with barcode scanners (e.g. Philips SpeechMike), as well as mobile input devices such as digital recorders, Philips DPMs, PDAs, Tablet PC, and standard landline telephones.
Easy and central system administration SpeechMagic supports client/server-based architecture, ensuring that authors are not restricted to one Workstation. Vocabularies can be shared between authors and cost-effectively administered centrally.
High scalability Up to 15,000 users and 1,500 hours dictation throughput per day ensures that SpeechMagic can be used in both small and large installations.
