Amazon announced Monday at the AWS re: Invent conference that Amazon Transcribe's auto-replication service has been extended to include medical terminology support.
The US technology giant says its new service based on artificial intelligence (Amazon Transcribe Medical) will allow doctors to quickly report their clinical observations and speeches and translate them into accurate text in real time, without human intervention.
Unlike some other services, doctors don't have to say "breaks" or "dots", but they can speak normally while dictating. You can then enter text into the desired system, including emergency systems or AWS voice services such as Amazon Comprehend Medical.
Amazon said the service also complies with the US Health Insurance and Liability Act and meets the needs of users, meaning doctors only pay for what they have used for free.
Amazon Transcribe Medical, first introduced by Amazon Tanscribe in 2017, coincides with the growing medical investment from Amazon, especially in the audio and medical device industry. Last week, Amazon launched a drug management service to help Alexa Digital, which allows consumers to express questions to refill packages and receive drug reminders.
Amazon not only conducts speech recognition in the healthcare industry, but Google also works with Google Brain Technology, Microsoft and other well-known companies such as Philips and Nuance.
