the radiology dept. at the VA hospital in Omaha bought a Kurtzweil voice recognition system for the rads to "transcribe" their film reading into reports. Several things: 1- $$$$$$ very expensive 2- worthless. 3- even though, by definition the vocabulary is limited to radiology/ anatomy terms, and the speakers are using standard American English (Medical terms?--maybe not;)) the K. system strangled on it. the results were hilarious, but not useful. My husband had several MDs read the Gettysburg Address into it. VERY FUNNY versions. 4- Kurtzweil is gathering cobwebs in some corner of the VA. Never--ever used at all. 5- Maybe save your money and don't buy on this one. Maryellen in Omaha [log in to unmask]
