Question

2 min Speech on topic understanding

Answer 1

Conventional speech recognition is no longer sufficient for today’s clinical documentation challenges. That’s why we created a more intelligent engine. M*Modal’s speech technologygoes beyond simple speech recognition to achieve true Speech Understanding™. Using the accumulated experience of 200,000 physicians over a decade, M*Modal Speech Understanding™technology is much more than simply converting voice to text, and more than just a widget for the EHR.

M*Modal Speech Understanding™ allows physicians to:

capture their narrative via natural languageprocess it into a standardized structured document, instantlyhave this narrative actually impact the physician’s workflow

On a single platform, Speech Understanding™ combines two native technologies delivered in the Cloud: speech recognition and Natural Language Understanding (NLU). Speech Understanding™ uses both technologies together on the voice file. In one unified process. In real-time.

Unlike simple speech recognition, Speech Understanding™ also recognizes the meaning and syntax of the dictation, not just the individual words or word strings. M*Modal’s speech engine has the benefit of the contextual understanding of a document’s meaning, physicians can dictate in a normal, conversational way without needing to follow particular speech structures or provide verbal cues to the engine.
