[Histonet] voice recognition and synoptic reporting
We have been asked to look at changing our pathology reports over to the synoptic report format. I was wondering if anyone could provide me some information on voice recognition software for pathology and if this would be the best (easiest) way to implement synoptic reporting for our path reports. I am only vaguely familiar with both so any information will be of great use.

Re: [Histonet] voice recognition and synoptic reporting
Voice Brook seems to be the market leader. They are powered by Nuance and Dragon which are the market leaders in the consumer market. However, they are pricy. Nuance offers a service that is more similar to a remote transcription service, however my guess is they rely heavily on their automated transcription software, without the cost of purchasing the software itself. If your IT department wants to dedicate 1 or 2 FTE's to getting you up and running, a cheaper solution is to purchase the Dragon backbone from Nuance, however it will take al ot of customization to make it on par with VoiceBrook. Just my opinion.

RE: [Histonet] voice recognition and synoptic reporting
Allison, it starts with what your objectives are: If you simply want your reports to present information in a certain format, then a word processor, optionally coupled with Dragon and optionally coupled with Voicebrook will work. If you need to send the data in it's individual components to another computer system, then that's an entirely different story as it probably means that you need to store the data discretely. Either way, if you'd like to talk about it further please feel free to contact me offline. Remember that I represent an LIS vendor, but since I love talking about this stuff, I have no problem talking to you about it from a non sales perspective.
