Speech Direct: Empowering Clinicians with Cutting-Edge Dictation Technology

What is Speech Direct?

Our cloud-based Speech Direct application works seamlessly with 250+ EHRs, including all major platforms. Dictate directly into the target application and navigate with your voice. Speech Direct is proven to enhance EHR adoption, improve the quality of documentation, and lower transcription costs.

The key advantage of Speech Direct lies in its ability to provide clinicians with a unified voice profile that is accessible across multiple devices. This flexibility ensures that clinicians can maintain productivity regardless of their location or the device they are using.

Key Features of Speech Direct

• Unified Voice Profile: Speech Direct’s unified voice profile allows clinicians to access theirpersonalised settings and preferences across different devices, ensuring consistent and accurate speech recognition performance.
  
  
• Dictation and Command Capabilities: Clinicians can dictate directly into any application, with the ability to execute voice-based navigation commands, insert standardised text, and correct recognised text by voice. The platform supports a wide range of commands, making it a versatile tool for various clinical documentation needs.
  
  
• Browser Integration: For clinicians working with web-based applications, Speech Direct offers browser extensions compatible with popular browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. This extension enables dictation directly into web forms and other online tools, enhancing the flexibility of the platform.
  
  
• Remote Microphone Functionality: The remote microphone feature allows clinicians to use their mobile devices as microphones, adding an extra layer of convenience for clinicians who may not always be near their primary workstations.
  
  
• Customisable Command Builder: Speech Direct’s Command Builder feature allows users to create custom commands tailored to their specific workflow. This includes the ability to automate complex sequences of actions, improving efficiency and reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks.
  
  
• Multi-factor Authentication and Security: Security is a top priority in healthcare, and Speech Direct integrates multi-factor authentication (MFA) to ensure that only authorised users can access the system. This feature, along with robust account recovery options, protects sensitive patient information.
  
  
• Speech Box: For applications not directly supported by Speech Direct, the Speech Box provides a floating window where dictated text is captured before being copied into the target application. This ensures that users can still benefit from speech recognition even in less compatible environments.
  
  

Practical Applications in a Clinical Setting

Speech Direct is particularly beneficial in clinical settings where time is of the essence. For instance, during patient consultations, clinicians can quickly update patient records by dictating notes directly into the system without the need to type manually. The ability to use voice commands to navigate through different fields in a form or document further enhances workflow efficiency.

Moreover, the platform’s ability to insert standardised boilerplate text with a simple voice command reduces the likelihood of errors and ensures consistency in documentation. This is particularly useful for recurring tasks such as completing patient discharge summaries or filling out forms with repetitive information.

Real-World Benefits

Clinicians using T-Pro’s Digital Dictation have reported significant improvements in workflow efficiency, noting reduced administrative burdens and more time for direct patient care. This shift not only boosts clinician morale but also enhances the quality of patient interactions.

Success Stories

Brian Anderson, Project Manager at Ramsay Health Care - UK 

" Having worked with many digital organisations over the past 15 years, T-Pro has been one of the most consistent and available groups to be working with. They continue to shape the speech recognition platform to meet our immediate and future needs. When we are met with any challenges, T-Pro continues to work with us to provide solutions. ”

Richard Slater, CCIO at The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust

“ You can use your mobile device to digitally capture information in the ward, clinic and theatre areas so you’re not stuck behind the desk. This means that clinicians have the flexibility on the move to respond and sign letters on the app. All of this saves time and gives us more time to spend with patients ”
