|
Create Speech-Oriented Session
Data
Key Concept: Text and Audio Annotations as Markup of Document
Text |
A "session" represents the
sum of the data content of the
document and annotation windows.
Use the document window for text or audio-linked text, images or
graphics, and add markup through text or audio annotations. |
|
Document Window
Click Audio-Linked Text For
Playback |
Document window supports
read/write of RTF, TXT, HTML, or SES (session file). Select audio-linked text and playback the audio, or click
highlighted document text
to access text and audio annotations, hyperlinks, or multimedia. |
|
Session File (SES)
Create, Review, or
Modify a "Session" |
SpeechMax™ proprietary session file includes document window data content and associated annotations
(comments). Document window display uses HTML. Underlying data
content is stored as XML. |
|
Multidocument Display
Display One, Ten, or
More |
Program

The annotation window includes
sound recorder, text box for text comments, list of parent and
child annotations, annotation number, and execute button to access
website or launch programs. Programs may include media
player and others. |
|
Text Annotation
Dictate Directly into Document or Text Annotation with Speech
Recognition |
Each document window has its
own annotation window for text comments for entry by keyboard,
speech recognition, or bar code. Any form of text data or
comment may be included. Unicode (multilingual) support is provided. |
|
Copy Text Annotation
Move Annotation Text into Document Window to Edit Document or
Complete Form |
Annotation text may be
transposed into the document window, moving the document text into
annotation, or copied and pasted without transposition. This
supports document edit from the annotation window. |
Verbatim Text

Verbatim
text transcribed by court reporters indicates exactly what was
said. Distributed (final) text of a document or report may
include editing. With verbatim annotation, user can create audio-aligned
verbatim record. |
|
Other Text Annotations
Link to a
Website
or Launch a Program |
The annotation text can also link to a
website
or launch a program, e.g., a media player. Use MultiLinksPRO™ to create
links to more than one website
associated to
the same document text. Provides a layered approach to
references. |
|
Audio Annotations
Can Also
Move Audio Annotation into Document Window |
Record audio comments
or
questions with built-in sound recorder, or by saving a prerecorded audio
file. As with text annotations, audio
annotations are linked to specific text in the document window.
One or more annotations may be created for text. |
|

keyboard hotkeys. The software also supports audio playback
with a standard,
off-the-shelf USB foot control. No need for an expensive,
proprietary device. |
|
Continuous or Segmental
Playback |
Playback
audio continuously, or advance to next phrase, or field in a form, and
playback associated
audio segment using keyboard hotkeys. Footpedal also may be
used for continuous or segmental playback. |
|
Audit Trail for Audio-Linked
Text
Audio-Linked Text for Manual Transcription or Speech Recognition |
With traditional manual
transcription, the audio associated to a particular phrase cannot be
located without playing back the audio file. Use
SpeechTracker™ to locate audio-linked segment from the
verbatim or final text. |
|
Speech Recognition
Correction by An Assistant
A Better Way to Do Correction |
With delegated correction,
the editor can correct text, correct dictation errors (e.g., insert
"left" for "right"), create headers and footers with transcription
shell for completed document, and return for approval. This
saves the speaker time. |
|
Multiple Popular Speech Engines
Supported Dragon, IBM, and Microsoft Vista |
Correct a session file from
real-time
Dragon speech recognition, a file transcribed with
desktop Dragon or
Microsoft Vista autotranscribe, or offline server-based speech recognition.
Potentially, other SAPI 5.x engines may be supported also. |
|
Desktop Autotranscribe |
Autotranscribe of dictation
audio file on desktop is available with Dragon or FREE
Microsoft Vista speech recognition. Microsoft autotranscribe
application is available as a FREE SpeechMax™ add-on. |

manual transcription of an untranscribed session file. The
audio-aligned text may be used to create and train a speech
recognition user. |
Advanced Error Spotting
Autodetection of Speech Recognition Errors |
Spell check is commonly used
in text processors, but speech recognition never makes a spelling
mistake. Patented WordCheck™
text comparison identifies possible misrecognition errors, saving
the editor time. |
|
Color-Coding To Indicates
Differences |
WordCheck™ may be used in
dual-window or multiwindow mode (view all compared documents) or
single window mode.
Color coding may be used to indicate degree of differences with
other documents. |

can display English or a foreign language. A single
document can also display more than one language character set.
Enter characters with keyboard, speech recognition, or bar code. |
|
Document Synchronization |
Documents with equal number
of segments can be synchronized. Move the cursor in the index document
and highlight corresponding segments in other documents. For example,
use DataInSync™ to
synchronize translations. |
|
Censored (Redacted) Speech
Protect Confidentiality |
With SpeechCensor™,
remove
document text or audio to deidentify patient or client name or
other sensitive information. The audio is
replaced by a "bleep," and the text is removed and replaced
by "censored." |
|
Reordered (Scrambled)
Utterances
Utterance Usually Represents Short Phrase Within Sentence--Dividing
Speech at Natural Break Points |
With ScrambledSpeech™,
divide session file utterances into two or more bundles for
transcription or
edit. You can also scramble utterances of each bundle,
merging and unscrambling after processing. |
|
Speech Recognition
Correction by Voice |
Using the audio annotation
window,
the same or different speaker can correct speech recognition text in
the document window with voice, using the
same or different speech engine. Potentially, more than
speaker can make the corrections.
|
|
Redictation by Second
Speaker
Decreased Corruption of Speech Files with a Dual Window Approach |
Some transcriptionists or
courtroom reporters use redictation to correct an original speaker's
speech recognition text. Corruption of speech user profile can
be avoided by dictating corrections into the annotation window. |
|

it talks to you™ |
SpeechMax™ supports creation
of
"fill-in-the-blank" forms (templates). Create audio prompts. Complete the
form with keyboard or traditional dictation, speech recognition, or
bar code. Forms may be used for structured dictation. |
|
Navigation By Field |
An annotation name may
correspond to a data field (e.g., "DOB" or "Name") in the form. Use a drop-down
that displays field name or dictation options, and navigate directly to it
using a dropdown or keyboard. |
|
Structured Dictation |
Using
The Talking Form™, it is easy to
create dictation templates in a matter of minutes, without special
programming or scripting. These can be created for virtually
any profession or business. This allows saving data to
