Crescendo notches U.K. implementation

Digital dictation and speech recognition technology provider Crescendo Systems of Laval, Quebec, said that it has completed the first phase of implementation for its DigiScribe-XL digital dictation offered at Roundwood Surgery in Mansfield, United Kingdom.

Physicians at the practice will be utilizing the digital dictation and transcription system to improve document delivery times from its multiple facilities by streaming dictations to a centralized transcription point.

The company is now planning to roll-out DigiScribe-XL to all remaining doctors in its Mansfield and Forrest Town facilities, Crescendo said.
