-- Radiologists Are Invited to Try Crescendo Speech Processing Speech processing is the study of speech signals and the processing methods of these signals. The signals are usually processed in a digital representation whereby speech processing can be seen as the intersection of digital signal processing and natural language processing. Powered by SpeechMagic(TM) Live at Booth 6454 (North Building) During the RSNA RSNA Radiological Society of North America, Inc. RSNA Robust Security Network Association Conference Taking Place from November 28 to December 3, 2004 in McCormick Place McCormick Place is an enormous exposition complex located in Chicago, Illinois. , Chicago, IL. Crescendo today announced the release of its Crescendo Speech Processing solution for Radiology. The solution, powered by SpeechMagic(TM) from Philips Speech Recognition Systems, includes a professional recognition vocabulary for radiological terminology. Productivity booster "Radiology is typically the most dictation-intensive department in a hospital", explains Costa Mandilaras, President, Crescendo Systems Corporation. Implemented as a background layer, Crescendo Speech Processing guarantees an optimal recognition rate from the very beginning while retaining Authors' working habits. "Radiologists can keep dictating the way they are used to, using their preferred input device, while the SpeechMagic voice recognition system automatically adapts to their specific dictation characteristics and is constantly optimized through repeated use". Seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. In line with the Crescendo open platform approach, Crescendo Speech Processing was designed to seamlessly integrate within a hospital's existing IT infrastructure, including dictation and transcription systems, Radiology Information Systems (RIS RIS rabies inhibiting substance. ) and Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS (Picture ArChiving System) A storage and management system for high-resolution images. Typically pertaining to the medical field, images such as X-rays, MRIs and CAT scans require a greater amount of storage than other industries. ) from any vendor. As a result, critical data can always be accessed from one single interface. "Integrating Crescendo Speech Processing with medical systems is critical to our strategy to help hospitals build a truly integrated work environment where all systems are interconnected and human resources The fancy word for "people." The human resources department within an organization, years ago known as the "personnel department," manages the administrative aspects of the employees. are utilized to their full potential", comments Mr. Mandilaras. Next step "We are in the process of extending Crescendo Speech Processing to two other medical specialties that typically experience intensive dictation workflows: Pathology and General Medicine. Both versions are currently being Beta tested in several Canadian and American hospitals, and we look forward to launching the solution across both countries" concludes Mr. Mandilaras.
