Tech S2 releases wireless dictation service; USBMIS adds "Clinical Clerkship" PDA reference

- Edited by Gary Thayer

Sept. 29, 2005 -- (MobileVillage) -- Tech S2, Inc. has released CaseScribe, a wireless dictation and web-based transcription service that uses speech recognition. CaseScribe captures remotely dictated voice notes, automatically transcribes them, and securely makes the transcription available via any standard web browser within an hour or less at any time, according to Tech S2.

Using CaseScribe's voice recording software, users dictate remotely using a Windows Mobile handheld (with wireless Internet access) or PDA phone (with Internet access), as a voice dictation recorder input device. The dictations are then securely uploaded to the CaseScribe application server and the transcribed dictation is stored, and ready for review in an hour or less.

Users are able to securely access their transcriptions online at any time, from any location, using a PC with a standard web browser and high-speed Internet access. Transcriptions can also be viewed on the handheld. Using the CaseScribe web site, users, or their staff, can securely review, edit, copy, and email their transcriptions -- even listen to the original dictation. In addition, with a click of the mouse, users can drag and drop the transcription text into their patient record, or electronic medical record (EMR) system. CaseScribe transcriptions can be edited by the existing office staff, or the physician.

To use CaseScribe in group practices with multiple users, users need handhelds and a wireless network (802.11) with Internet access. Individual mobile users only need a PDA phone with an Internet connection.

CaseScribe is HIPAA compliant, utilizing 128 bit SSL technology data encryption, and fully redundant and mirrored servers, ensuring reliable, uninterrupted and secure service. CaseScribe utilizes ScanSoft Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech recognition software, enabling the automatic conversion of speech into text with 97% accuracy, at a rate of up to 160 words per minute, supporting multiple languages and medical vocabularies, according to the companies.

Individual speaker training is completed online, and requires 10 minutes of dictation to create a speaker voice profile. With a click of the mouse, users can continually train their speaker voice profile, and increase accuracy up to as much as 99%, claims CaseScribe.
