 * Term:** Philips Speech Recognition System - PSRS


 * Description****:**

The Philips Speech Recognition System allows physicians to speak into a microphone and outputs what has been spoken to a computer. Use of the product in the US has just begun. The program received an award in speech recognition technology in December of 2007. Nuance recently purchased PSRS for $96.1 million. Nuance has faith that PSRS will be widely spread and used amongst medical workers across the globe. PSRS can recognize multiple languages. It adapts to your speaking style over time so that the few mistakes that occur early on, won't in the future. Initial training for use of PSRS takes only 2 minutes. I could not find any drawbacks besides misinterpretation of data being entered (the program not understanding what is being said). There are numerous amounts of benefits, but some of the greater benefits to PSRS are:
 * Faster Report Turn Around Time
 * Flexible Working Habits
 * Greater Mobility
 * Keeps IT costs low
 * Improved quality of care for patients
 * Increased Transcription Productivity
 * Effective Communication and Increased Accessibility


 * Applications:**

Used by people in the medical field.
