Accuro’s professional and legal speech recognition + edit service is suitable for:
An automated transcription process which converts speech into text with an added edit (professional proofread). This service is suitable for customers who require a grammatically correct, complete document, with all the automated speech-to-text software errors corrected. The document is delivered in block text format which is ideal for internal use but will need reformatting for external use. This is a hybrid product, incorporating cost reductions and a human proofread.
This is a back-end speech recognition service which means that audio is uploaded with a completed block text document being returned quickly but following a correction audit by a professional proofreader. A front-end engine requires users to sit and correct documents there and then, such as Dragon Naturally Speaking software. The back-end process delivers where users do not have time to correct and do not want a change in their current upload process.
Accuro trialled numerous speech recognition apps and voice recognition apps including Nuance’s Dragon Naturallyspeaking, Google Dictation, and Microsoft Azure’s speech-to-text service.
Accuro chose a bespoke, profile-based version of Microsoft Azure’s speech-to-text service due to their higher accuracy achieved through Azure’s neural networks and deep learning technology.
Being profile based, Accuro’s speech recognition service benefits from industry specific dictionaries and deep learning where accent, dialect and dictation styles can be learned to improve accuracy over time.
With Microsoft’s acquisition of Nuance’s Dragon dictation, Accuro benefit from the fastest progressing and best AI in the speech-to-text market.
