Wireless Speech Recognition in the ER

 

An excellent speech recognition blog, (appropriately titled "Speech Recognition" :-) has posted a really interesting article about an intriguing remote-based wireless speech recognition system for Emergency Rooms, and also links to a terrific case study on the Crescendo site.

The case study's diagram outlines a system that uses a remote central voice & data server_+_Speech Recognition (SpeechMagic) Server that is accessed via Pocket PC's, and allows ER physicians to "walk and talk" while maintaining access and the physicians are provided with up-to-date patient data on their PDAs - any place, any time.. driven via speech commands.

It's fascinating reading, really worth checking out.
