Background: Use of Electronic Health Records is increasing. Copy-and-paste function is frequently used with higher rates of documentation errors. Studies to determine the nature of such errors are needed.Objectives: Determination of the effect of implementing a dictation system for completing notes on the quality of clinical documentation. We hypothesized that implementation of the dictation sy...

It has recently been proposed that in the course of repetition, reading aloud and writing to dictation, lexical representations are activated and selected for output by the joint operation of the semantic system and of sublexical conversion mechanisms--the Summation Hypothesis [Hillis and Caramazza, Brain Lang. 40, 106-144, 1991]. The hypothesis predicts that semantic errors in oral reading and...

the present study attempts to investigate the effect of orthographic depth on the occurrence of persian spelling errors of azari-speaking students. for this purpose, the mentioned factor was calculated by phoneticity measure according to spencer (1999). the data for doing this research were collected from 125 papers of final persian dictation exams which belonged to the students from 4 junior h...

Unsupervised speaker adaptation plays an important role in \batch dictation," the aim of which is to automatically transcribe large amounts of recorded dictation using speech recognition. In the case of unsupervised speaker adaptation which uses recognition results of target speech as the means of supervision, erroneous recognition results degrade the quality of the adapted acoustic models. Thi...

Computer-based procedures were used to examine oral naming and matching-to-sample performances in an adult with a head injury. Relatively few errors occurred when pictures were (a) named, (b) matched to dictated names presented simultaneously, (c) matched to dictation after a delay, and (d) matched to identical pictures presented simultaneously. More errors occurred on delayed than on simultane...

In recent years the potential benefits of speech recognition software for people with disabilities have often been cited in software reviews. As it is now possible to purchase inexpensive software that supports the use of voice for the production of documents and the control of the computer, such software could enable people with particular types of disability to have greater access to educatio...

This article is in the context of the Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) framework, and addresses more specifically the automation of dictation exercises. It presents a method for correcting learners’ copies. Based around Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools, this method is original in two respects. First, it exploits the composition of finite-state machines, to both detect and delim...

This study verifies the environmental effects on agraphia in mild cognitive impairment and dementia. We compared elderly Japanese subjects living in Japan and Brazil. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the database of the Prevalence Study 1998 in Tajiri (n=497, Miyagi, Japan) and the Prevalence Study 1997 of elderly Japanese immigrants living in Brazil (n=166, migrated from Japan and living ...

This paper describes the preliminary results of the first research effort toward a Mandarin dictation machine in the world for the input of Chinese characters to computers. Considering the special characteristics of Chinese language, syllables are chosen as the basic units for dictation. The machine is divided into two subsystems. The first is to recognize the syllables using speech signal proc...
