Would it be possible to utilize voice recognition (i.e. speech to text) software in radiology when writing reports? Or would this be too impractical?
Many of the reports I receive have some little note that they were dictated using such software.
I can tell which radiologists and pathologists actually proofread their reports, because these systems are not foolproof, even if you train them.
I use Dragon Speak in my office and some of the things its types are fairly funny or nonsensical. Fortunately, its not common so its much more efficient and cheaper for me to do it myself than use a dictation/transcription service.
It'd seem that most people these days can type faster. Despite advances in voice recognition you'll still see folks go in and correct a word or two it after a certain number of lines. Just seems like a lot of hassle.
