PROFESSIONALS DO NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THE WAY THEY SPEAK AND WORK
SpeechMagic? is based on a unique client/server approach giving you benefits like:
- Flexibility: authors are not limited to one workstation
- Authors can share vocabularies
- Centralised system management
COMBINED BATCH AND ONLINE RECOGNITION
Speech recognition can be performed as you dictate or afterwards. You can switch between the two as, and when, required. Online dictation/correction can be done directly into the word processor (i.Microsoft? Word 97 and 2000).
SPEECHMAGIC? FULLY SUPPORTS THE AUTHOR/TRANSCRIPTION WORKING METHOD
The author can fully concentrate on the dictations. The secretary will still do the corrections, formatting and filing, but be able to work much faster!
MULTIPLE LANGUAGE RECOGNISER
With SpeechMagic? you can dictate in the language that your profession requires. SpeechMagic? supports English US, English UK, French, German (also new German orthography), Austrian, Dutch, Flemish and more to come.
PROFESSIONAL VOCABULARIES (CONTEXTS)
SpeechMagic? professional ConTexts are available with common terms and abbreviations for your particular business (medical, legal, insurance). ConTexts are created from millions of words, allowing you to dictate normally using your professional language from the start.
SPEAKER AND VOCABULARY ADAPTATION
Before starting to use SpeechMagic?, it is highly recommended that you complete the initial minimum training, which takes 15 minutes. During the initial training the acoustic references are adapted to the voice of each individual speaker. SpeechMagic? continuously adapts the vocabulary from the documents the user dictates. It will add any unknown words and learn the way the user dictates. To further improve the initial performance of the speech recognition system SpeechMagic? also allows you to ?tune? your vocabulary (ConText) by analysing existing documents.
EASY CORRECTION WITH PATENTED SYNCHRONISED PLAYBACK
Proof-reading and correction is made easy and secure by the simultaneous playback of voice and recognised text directly within Microsoft? Word 97 and 2000. Configurable playback speed (50% - 150%), playback volume (0% - 100%) and winding speed (5x ? 30x) optimise the correction environment for the transcriptionist. On top of that, additional professional accessories are available to further ease correction:
- Dual headphones
- Foot Control
- External loudspeakers
