Publication number: 20090077038Abstract: A method for audibly verifying the identity of a subject while dictating a report with a system comprising an input device and a computer includes entering alpha-numeric indicia into the system with the input device where the alpha-numeric indicia are related to the identity of the subject of the dictation. The entered alpha-numeric indicia are transmitted from the system to a records database coupled to the computer. Subject identifiers are received by the system when a record is found in the records database which has identifying indicia corresponding to the entered alpha-numeric indicia. The subject identifiers associated with the record are audibly communicated to a user of the system. The user of the system may use the audibly communicated subject identifiers to verify that the entered alpha-numeric indicia correspond to the subject on which the dictation is being performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2008Publication date: March 19, 2009Applicant: DOLBEY AND COMPANYInventors: James M.

Publication number: 20050091064Abstract: A speech recognition module includes transformation and synchronization algorithms. The transformation algorithms receive raw text from the speech recognition engine and produce a mapped text file and a module mapped text file. The mapped text file contains all the characters in the raw text. The characters in the mapped text file are mapped to locations in the module mapped text file. The characters in the module mapped text file are mapped to the mapped text file. A module window is created to edit the mapped text file by first editing the module mapped text file. Any graphical display, such as a fill-in form or header are viewable during or after dictation in the module window. Changes made to the module mapped text file are automatically implemented in the mapped text file through the synchronization algorithms.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2003Publication date: April 28, 2005Inventor: Curtis Weeks
