TA+ Powered by SpeechMagicTM

TA⁺ powered by SpeechMagic from Philips delivers the seamless integration of speech recognition technology to the TA⁺ platform.  Now, with the TA⁺ platform, healthcare facilities receive all the benefits of speech recognition technology without complicating their vendor structure and adding more interfaces.   TA⁺ powered by SpeechMagic gives transcription managers flexibility and cost savings with improved turnaround times to promote patient care.  Physician benefits include near real-time access to transcribed reports resulting in less time documenting and more time for patient care.  TA⁺ powered by SpeechMagic will offer Natural Language Processing (NLP) to facilitate the coding process and allow a real-time physician feedback option at the desktop when dictating known as Clinically Actionable Data (CAD).  The ability to provide NLP and CAD differentiate TA⁺ powered by SpeechMagic from many competitors' products.
