Re: [Histonet] Voice Recognition Systems
VoiceBrook is an awesome pathology voice recognition system! We use Meditech and it does not require an interface.

RE: [Histonet] Voice Recognition Systems
As an LIS vendor I hear this question quite often. I'd like to make an attempt to address this query for the benefit of the group. To start with, if your APLIS uses a version of Microsoft WORD to enter gross, or any other part of the report for that matter, then Dragon should work pretty much out of the box. There is no 'interface' required. Also, if your APLIS is based on the Visual Basic programming language, it will probably work for that as well. The bottom line here is that Dragon Naturally Speaking will work with quite a few commercially available word processors. If you're interested in voice entry, I'd recommend purchasing the most inexpensive version available and installing it on a single PC. Just try it. As to Dragon itself, there are different versions and the price varies dramatically. The basic 'engine' appears to be the same in all versions, but the 'medical' version adds an Anatomic Pathology specific vocabulary and it will let you create 'macros' and a few other things. For our clients that use Dragon, they all use the medical version. A couple more notes: 1. There's a company out there called Voicebrook who 'repackages' Dragon for lack of a better word. Basically they make Dragon even easier to use and they provide excellent support from what I've heard. I have to be honest though. I've heard they can be expensive. I say that not to criticize their marketing strategy, but to warn the smaller labs with smaller budgets who read histonet. 2. Grossing, in particular, is challenging to voice recognition not because the word choice is difficult (In fact, the 'home' version of Dragon might work fairly well here), but because of the environment -- it's just messy and to get Dragon to truly work well, you'll have to make some corrections. I've seen Dragon work for grossing, but in those places where Dragon worked well for grossing it was because 'templates' were in significant use. Basically, the user would use Dragon to fill in the blanks. If anyone has any further questions please feel free to contact me offline. We have a 20 pathologist, multihospital client who use Dragon 100% for all their diagnoses. Hence, our experience. PS: Your APLIS vendor may charge a license fee to 'allow' you to use Dragon with their product. You should check with them. We do not charge this fee as there really is no effort on our side to enable this functionality for use throughout our entire LIS.

We use Dragon for micro. We found the gross room took more time editing than transcribing, so we gave up on using it there.
