InfraWare Unveils First Draft Dictation Recognition 2011, Advanced Automated Speech Recognition
New Release of First Draft Delivers the Accuracy, Flexibility, and Features to Make Medical Dictation and Editing Easier than Ever
Terre Haute, IN (PRWEB) December 6, 2010
InfraWare, Inc., a leading provider of medical transcription software solutions, today unveiled First Draft 2011, a new release of its innovative back-end speech recognition software that fundamentally improves the way healthcare professionals and transcription editors interact with protected health information (PHI). From automatic author evaluation and enrollment, to a phased implementation approach that accelerates utilization, First Draft 2011 has been enhanced to speed successful implementation and let transcriptionists transition smoothly to editing.
First Draft 2011 is the most Advanced Automated Speech Recognition system:
Advanced Technology – It’s been nearly 7 years since First Draft first debuted, and years of research and some of the best brains in speech science have made First Draft 2011 the advanced automated speech recognition service that it is today. Despite the sophisticated nature of speech recognition, First Draft 2011 “brain” works behind the scenes to convert audio input into a first draft document that speeds up editing – as much as two times faster than conventional typing. Automatic Evaluation & Enrollment – First Draft 2011 automatically evaluates each dictating author and then enrolls each author into a recommended implementation slot. This automated process creates an optimized implementation sequence that accelerates First Draft 2011 utilization. This means First Draft 2011 reduces the risk often associated with traditional ASR implementations. New User Interface – The latest release of First Draft makes it easier than ever to tune the system to the unique requirements of various authors. An advanced administrative console provides a set of custom dials that allow the administrator to tune and optimize First Draft’s speech recognition engine. Extensive Reporting – First Draft 2011 offers a comprehensive suite of reports that include production, quality and business performance data. These reports enable management to evaluate author and editor performance, pinpoint areas needing improvement and the business impact of First Draft 2011. “Since First Draft debuted nearly 7 years ago, it has truly transformed from a concept to an integral component in meeting the demands of today’s healthcare documentation market,” said Nick Mahurin, CEO, InfraWare, Inc. “Our goal with First Draft 2011 was to make the software fast to implement while facilitating the transition from transcription to editing. By meeting these goals, First Draft 2011 enables our customers and their clients to realize the promise of ASR.”
First Draft Background
InfraWare first introduced back-end speech recognition for the healthcare community in 2004. Back-end recognition describes technology that allows physicians to dictate without changing their behavior (without interacting with recognition software) and performs ASR in the datacenter sometime after dictation and prior to transcription for the purpose of accelerating the transcription process. Over the years, the company has improved the performance of the First Draft service through three prior generations.
