SpeechMax™

Add-On Advantages                 

More than a word processor™ A custom speech and text processor . . . .
Footpedal Support Transcriptionists the world over use a foot control for manual transcription and correction. Now that technology is available using a standard USB foot control for rapidly editing and correcting speech recognition text.
Continuous or Segmental Playback An assistant can playback audio continuously, or use "tab" to advance to the text associated with the next segment (usually a phrase or sentence), and playback audio segment audio.
Speech Recognition Correction by An Assistant

A Better Way to Do Correction

Using a footpedal, an assistant can review and "turbo" edit the speech recognition text. Delegated correction permits the dictating speaker to engage in other productive work.  Work can be returned for approval
Use Multiple Engines Correct a session file from real-time Dragon or a Microsoft speech recognition, or a file transcribed with Custom Speech server-based speech recognition for Dragon, IBM, or Microsoft speech engines.
Manual Transcription Available In some cases, an author does not have a speech user profile for speech recognition. With SpeechMax™, an assistant can correct text from real-time or server-based speech recognition or manually transcribe it.
Multiwindow Document Processing Document preparation and review is often improved by comparing two or more texts. This is a snap with program's multiwindow capabilities. Open two or more windows, and tile vertically or horizontally, or cascade.
Advanced Error Spotting Spell check is commonly used in text processors, but speech recognition never makes a spelling mistake. Patented WordCheck™ text comparison identifies possible misrecognition errors.
Color-Coding 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.
Multilingual Document Creation Unicode enabled, each window can display English or a foreign language. In fact, a single
document window can display more than one language character set. Enter characters with keyboard, or copy and paste--it's easy.
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 With SpeechCensor™, remove text or linked audio from display in the document window. The audio is replaced by a "bleep." The text is replaced by "censored" or other text.  Deidentify confidential and private information!
Reordered (Scrambled) Audio and Text With ScrambledSpeech™, divide a session file into two or more bundles for processing by different parties. You can also scramble the each bundle's content.  Merge and unscramble content at a central location for review.

Image and Graphics Display

My AV Notebook™

Copy and paste image and graphics into your audio-linked text, or insert an image
or graphic by file name. Create an electronic scrapbook with audio-linked text, audio books, training manual, or other office document.
Text Annotations Each document window has its own annotation window for text comments. Enter text with keyboard, speech recognition, or bar code. The text can also link to a website or launch a program, e.g., a media player.
Audio Annotations Enter your audio comments using the built-in sound recorder, or by saving a prerecorded audio file into the annotation field. As with text annotations, audio annotations are linked to particular text in the document window.
Text to Speech Audio Annotation Use the annotation window to create natural-sounding speech from AT&T Natural Voices and other text to speech programs. Male and female voice fonts are available for a variety of languages and accents.
Multilayered Annotations Enter text or audio comments from multiple authors about the same text in the same or different languages. Use MultiLinksPRO™ to create more than one hyperlink for the same text.
Audio-Aligned Verbatim Text An assistant may correct, add, or delete text in the final document. Using an annotation, the assistant can record verbatim text. SpeechTracker™ creates an audit trail linking the audio to the document and verbatim text.
Form Creation

The Talking Form™ -- You talk to it, and it talks to you™

SpeechMax™ supports creation of  "fill-in-the-blank" forms (templates) using the document and annotation windows.  Create audio prompts.  Complete the form with keyboard or traditional dictation or speech recognition. 
Navigation By Field An annotation name may correspond to a data field (e.g., "DOB") in the form. Use a drop-down that displays field name or content and navigate directly to it to enter text or audio, or to correct or review entered data.
Data Migration Prepopulate form data from another session file, comma-delimited text, a database, or an XML file. You can also export data from the form. Use the Data Migration Wizard to associate field content.
Document Assembly Use text annotations to enter "boilerplate" in a legal or other form.  View the annotation name and text for review prior to entry.  Also enter text with speech recognition, audio dictation for manual transcription, and bar code.
Knowledge Management Using the annotation feature, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs can be tagged and saved in searchable fields. You save variations on document language for later document assembly. You can also save audio.
Speech Recognition Correction by Voice Using the annotation window, a speaker can correct earlier speech recognition with voice, using the same or different speech engine.   Both the original and new audio and corrected text can be used for training.   
Redictation by Second Speaker Using the annotation window, speech recognition correction may be used to correct the speech recognition text of another person without  corruption of either person's speech user profile. 
Training File Verbatim transcription may be created for court reporting, or a training file for speech recognition. This training file may contain acoustic and language data to train one or more speech recognition engines.
Portable Session File Using the a graphical user interface or developer tools, Dragon, IBM, or Microsoft session files can be altered. SessionLock™ limits unauthorized editing of session file content through use of a passkey.
