Custom Speech USA
is completing a pilot project with independent pathologists near
Spokane, WA. The group needed a digital dictation system that would run
"hands-free" in the laboratory. They selected sound recorder CustomMike
for use with Sennheiser microphones. The sound recorder will be
controlled with a standard, three-position foot control commonly used by
transcriptionists.
DICTATION WITH PALM PILOT
Custom Speech USA
now offers Palm OS software sound
recorder, and other accessories for Palm dictation.
This may be integrated with Command!™
workflow manager.
Contact Custom Speech USA for
details.
HISTORICAL NOTE
"The
first machine which recognized speech was probably a commercial toy
named 'Radio Rex' which was sold in the 1920s. Rex was a celluloid dog
that moved (via a spring) when the spring was released by 500 Hz
acoustic energy. Since 500 Hz is roughly the first formant of the vowel
in 'Rex', the dog seemed to come when he was called." D. Jurafsky &
J. H. Martin, Speech & Language Processing (2000), p. 280.
