Introduction


What is Invox Dictation?

Invox Dictation is a medical report dictation platform that has been developed for use in various medical specialties. Thanks to Invox Dictation, healthcare professionals can write reports with the help of voice, improving their efficiency and obtaining reports that are richer in content.

Invox Dictation can be integrated with any medical record and hospital management system, as well as with departmental care applications and other general-purpose applications. This allows healthcare professionals to dictate directly into patient records, reducing reporting times and improving productivity.

The Invox Dictation platform includes specific dictionaries for a multitude of medical specialties. These dictionaries have been developed from thousands of selected medical reports from each specialty and with the help of professionals in each area to ensure that the system is able to recognise the terms used in each medical specialty.

The benefits of Invox Dictation include:

  • Reduced reporting time and cost.
  • Vocabulary and resources adapted to each medical speciality and to the specific service or centre in which it is used.
  • Integration with any medical record system, medical management system or general purpose application.
  • Continuous adaptation to the voice characteristics of each user.
  • Ability to define templates for the most frequent types of reports.
  • Mechanisms for the creation and management of own dictionaries of medical words and acronyms.
  • Ability to scroll through reports using voice commands as well as to define keyboard shortcuts to interact by voice with the reporting application.

Invox Dictation SDK

Invox Dictation has an SDK that allows integration into different applications.

The SDK provides the integrator with services to receive the users' voice corresponding to dictation or command invocation, process it with Invox Dictation and return the transcribed text or other events associated with the commands used.

This SDK consists of a specification, a JavaScript API for web integration and the implementation of speech recognition services (ASR) for free and/or structured grammar-based text dictation. These services include:

  • Speech-to-text transcription from free text language models created for each medical specialty.
  • Centralised storage and automatic updating of each user's speech profiles, dictionaries and templates.

Integration mechanisms

Two web integration scenarios are offered:

IMPORTANT: For full functionality of the Invox Dictation SDK it is necessary to install a Local Dictation Service in the local machine or to install a Remote Dictation Service in a server. Without these, the integration cannot be completed correctly. If you don't have them, please contact the Invox Dictation support team.
