This can bedone by a single user working at a standalone computer or bya large group of users working on a network. A

29、nother methodis processing a pre-recorded digital voice file through an SRTsystem, with the resulting text and/or SRT engine being editedby the MTE.5.2 Speech recognition technology system workflow.5.2.1 Front-end speech recognition process involves:5.2.1.1 Recording the voice.5.2.1.2 SRT transcript

30、ion of the voice file to text.5.2.1.3 Editing may be done by the originator and/orSRMTE.5.2.1.4 Compound file may be saved as an option.5.2.1.5 Text file can be printed, archived, transmitted, orintegrated into an electronic health record.5.2.1.6 Update the SRT context for RecOs and new termi-nology

31、.5.2.2 Back-end speech recognition process involves:5.2.2.1 Recording the voice.5.2.2.2 Transmitting the voice file to the speech recognitionengine.5.2.2.3 SRT transcription of the voice file to text.5.2.2.4 Saving the voice and text as a compound file.5.2.2.5 Routing the compound file to the SRMTE.

32、5.2.2.6 Editing done by the SRMTE.E2364 04 (2010)25.2.2.7 Saving the text file.5.2.2.8 Returning the edited text file to the originator forauthentication.5.2.2.9 SRMTE updates the SRT context for RecOs andnew terminology.5.2.3 Standalone SRT System:5.2.3.1 Only one person at a time can use a standal

33、onesystem.5.2.3.2 Context is limited by the hard drive space.5.2.3.3 Editing is done locally, at the point of input, eitherby the originator or by the SRMTE.5.2.3.4 Input devices.(1) Noise-canceling SRT microphones.(2) Handheld digital recorders.(3) Digital dictation systems.(4) Telephones.5.2.3.5 T

34、he following scenarios are offered to give thereader examples of how these systems work. They are notintended to represent every possible scenario for these systems.(1) A radiologist (originator) dictates into a microphoneconnected to a personal computer running an SRT program.The voice is translate

35、d to text in real time. The originator editsthe text and/or the SRT context.(2) A family practitioner dictates into a personal computerthroughout the day. Each compound file is saved and then,using the same computer, the SRMTE edits the text, listeningto the recorded voice as necessary for clarifica

36、tion. TheSRMTE may also be responsible for editing the SRT context.(3) A group of cardiologists dictate into handheld digitalrecording devices throughout the day. The voice files aretransmitted from the recorders to a computer and recognized bythe SRT engine, using the cardiology context and each ph

37、ysi-cians acoustic model. Once recognized, each text file is editedby the SRMTE. The SRMTE may also be responsible forediting the SRT context.5.2.4 Networked SRT System:5.2.4.1 On a networked system, all files containing recordeddictation (voice files) are transmitted to a server, where the filesare

38、 queued up for recognition. The compound files are thenrouted to the SRMTE for editing.5.2.4.2 A networked system is designed to allow multipleoriginators and SRMTEs to work simultaneously. The voicefiles are recognized on a server or at the workstation(s) and theresulting compound files are routed

39、to the SRMTE for editing.5.2.4.3 Contexts.(1) The networked system may be programmed for a singlemedical specialty or subspecialty, such as radiology, pathology,family practice, physical therapy, or emergency medicine.(2) A networked system may also be programmed withmany contexts or language models

40、 so originators from manydifferent medical specialties can use it to improve speechrecognition accuracy.5.2.4.4 Editing may be done in the same facility, or thecompound files may be sent to a remote SRMTE.5.2.4.5 Input devices.(1) Noise-canceling SRT microphones.(2) Handheld digital recorders.(3) Di

41、gital dictation systems.(4) Telephone.5.2.4.6 The following scenarios are offered to give thereader examples of how these systems work. They are notintended to represent every possible scenario for these systems.(1) Six radiologists simultaneously dictate at individualworkstations. Each voice file i

42、s routed to a recognition server,or the processing may take place on each workstation, withinformation regarding the originators specialty and identifica-tion, allowing the recognition server to load the correspondingacoustic model and context. The voice file is processed by theSRT engine and the re

43、sulting compound file (voice and textfiles) is routed to the SRMTE for editing. The SRMTE mayalso be responsible for editing the SRT context.(2) A hospital has 300 healthcare providers dictating intoportable handheld digital recording devices from the hospitaland several remote satellite clinics, or

44、 dictation may take placeon individual workstations. The voice files are encrypted andsecurely transmitted to the digital dictation system of acontracted transcription company. Each voice file is routed to arecognition server, or the processing may take place onworkstations, with information regardi

45、ng the originators spe-cialty and identification, allowing the recognition server to loadthe corresponding acoustic model and context. The voice file isprocessed by the SRT engine and the resulting compound file(voice and text files) is routed to the SRMTE for editing.SRMTEs working both in the offi

46、ce and remotely receiverecognized compound files via encrypted Internet transmis-sions. The editing is performed on standalone computers andthe encrypted text files are returned. The SRMTE may also beresponsible for editing the SRT context.6. Training6.1 Originators:6.1.1 Voice enrollment and proper
