Nuance integrates SpeechMagic into GE Centricity RIS

Nuance Communications has integrated its SpeechMagic technology into GE Healthcare's Centricity RIS in a Citrix environment.

GE’s Centricity RIS powered by SpeechMagic provides industrial-grade speech recognition, including front and backend support, within Citrix application delivery infrastructure, according to Burlington, Mass.-based Nuance.

The company said that community hospitals, outpatient imaging centers and integrated delivery networks can now implement a digital radiology reporting workflow independent of its type of network architecture and client hardware.

“When making SpeechMagic Citrix Ready, we focused on high compression rates that ensure a minimum latency time between the recording of a dictation, its recognition on the central server and the return of the recognized text to the user’s screen,” said Marcel Wassink, vice president of SpeechMagic Solutions at Nuance.
