How Speech Recognition in Healthcare Works
Use cases
Health records management
Speech recognition software transforms physicians’ or patients’ voice input into consistent written reports, appointment summaries, treatment plans, mood journal entries, symptom summaries, etc. Then, this data is uploaded to EHR, a patient or RPM app, or other target software.
Appointment transcription
During an in-person or online appointment, voice recognition software can differentiate between the physician’s and the patient’s voices and create an accurate visit record. Later, doctors can use this data to create appointment summaries, and patients can revisit the received medical recommendations.
