Faster report turnaround time
Eliminating manual typing increases the productivity of medical transcriptionists. Depending on the set-up of your organization, productivity can be increased by more than 70%. When dictating in frontend mode, reports are available instantly to you, as well as to your patient and the referring physician.
Flexible working habits
SpeechMagic offers you a familiar working environment while optimizing your professional document creation workflow.
Intuitive dictation
Frontend speech recognition allows you to dictate, edit and sign off reports yourself. By using Auto-texts and Smart Fields, your report is largely populated automatically with accurate information, which further reduces your dictation volume. See also: SpeechMagic Interactive and Intelligent Speech Interpretation.
Increased IT administration efficiency
SpeechMagic allows you to increase cost efficiency and keep admin costs to a minimum by increasing productivity and automating hitherto manual processes. The network-based system is seamlessly integrated into your professional document creation solution (e.g. RIS, HIS, EPR, EMR, PACS etc.) and can be easily maintained centrally, while failover concepts ensure high availability. Your revenues will grow, your costs will not.
Improved quality of care
With accurate information available on time in the EMR, treatment can be quickly started or resumed, based on reliable medical reports. This reduces errors resulting from illegible, handwritten notes and reports.
Increased transcription productivity
By increasing productivity with SpeechMagic, outsourcing volumes can be reduced and in-house transcriptionists move from time consuming typing to editing, which means an end to dictation backlogs.
Effective communication and increased accessibility
With SpeechMagic seamlessly integrated into your EMR solution, your dictations are automatically stored in the corresponding patient record and accessible by your colleagues for further treatment. Thanks to the high level of process automation, it becomes virtually impossible to misfile reports or lose dictations.

Switch between frontend and backend recognition when required or desired.
SpeechMagic InterActive (frontend)
SpeechMagic InterActive enables you to dictate directly into templates, inserting text blocks and dictating into fields. Using voice commands, you can navigate hands-free: select a patient's file from a list or format a text. See also: Intuitive dictation.
2 minutes Initial Training
Although the Initial Training is optional, a 2-minute training is recommended. Non-native speakers will need to add some more minutes.
Immediate adaptation
SpeechMagic continuously adapts to the way users dictate – the vocabulary they use, the way they speak. You can also add unknown words to perfectly match your specific needs. This adaptation concept minimizes manual interaction and results in an immediate improvement in the recognition rate.
High accuracy speech recognition and Intelligent Speech Interpretation
Accurate recognition needs to be combined with intelligent interpretation. SpeechMagic transcribes dosages, measurements etc. into a standardized format, and it can also isolate and exclude irrelevant information like hesitations and silences. Furthermore, it detects where punctuation is needed and sets it automatically. SpeechMagic also supports the insertion of Auto-texts and dictation in templates.
Extensive professional language and ConText portfolio
Philips offers more than 23 languages and 150 ConTexts. Speech recognition vocabularies cover special terms and abbreviations for the medical, legal, financial and insurance areas.
Choice of input devices
SpeechMagic supports a variety of dictation recording devices. PC-compatible microphones and headsets, wired, wireless, handheld, handheld with barcode scanners (e.g. SpeechMike), as well as mobile input devices such as digital recorders, Philips DPMs, PDAs, Tablet PC, and standard landline telephones.
Easy and central system administration
SpeechMagic supports client/server-based architecture, ensuring that authors are not restricted to one Workstation. Vocabularies can be shared between authors and cost-effectively administered centrally. See also: Increased IT administration efficiency and Effective communication and increased accessibility.
High scalability
Up to 15,000 users and 1,500 hours dictation throughput per day ensures that SpeechMagic can be used in both small and large installations.
Connected and disconnected mode
You can switch between connected and disconnected mode. The disconnected mode allows users to access SpeechMagic outside of the central network, e.g. on a laptop or tablet PC, in LAN, WAN or across the Internet. See also: Greater mobility.
