1. Higher initial performance due to expanded recognition vocabularies and improved learning algorithms. The healthcare-specific recognition vocabularies now feature 100,000 words with a capacity of up to 130,000 words. This represents an increase of 35% over previous ContTexts.

2. Key performance indicators (KPI) measure productivity and turnaround times for each user and implement the changes to optimise the individual use of speech recognition.

3. Support for Windows 7 and the latest versions of Oracle and SQL Server databases. Linux-based thin clients complete SpeechMagic’s unique Citrix offering.

4. One-click installation enables on-demand deployment which significantly reduces roll-out effort in large-scale set-ups.

5. New deployment conceptmeans that users no longer require administration rights to setup and update. This increases IT security.

6. “Down-time free” system updates without interrupting users in their daily working routine.

7. Native 64-bit support for client components allows integration with high-memory applications, such as Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS).

8. New Edit Control Adapter API allows integration with virtually all edit controls, providing integration partners new possibilities to speech-enable their health IT systems.

9. System ensures use of optimal input device to avoid unintended change of the audio configuration, e.g. if a user plugs in an additional USB device such as a webcam or a smart phone. This ensures best possible recognition and avoids unnecessary administration efforts.

10. Deployment in virtualised environments, which has become popular in many hospitals.
