Question 2

Back-End Speech Recognition

Answer 2

A system in which a doctor’s completed report is sent to a speech recognition engine and a text version is created for the medical transcription editor to edit. The term back-end comes from the part of the process in which the SRT is used (in this case, in the back of the process).

Most used by the MTE

Doctor dictates — > Speech Recognition Engine —-> Text—-> édit

Question 3

Correlation

Answer 3

A mutual relationship or connection between two or more things. Correlations are found using reasoning skills by making inferences.

Correlation = Connection ( of neurons in brain for reasoning by making inferior decisions????)

The term front-end comes from the part of the process in which the SRT is used (in this case, in the front of the process).

Doctor dictates—->SRE texts in real time —-> dr edits when report is created

Question 10

Natural Language Processing

Answer 10

A subfield of artificial intelligence and linguistic. It studies the problems of automated generation and understanding of natural human languages. Natural language generation systems convert information from computer databases into normal – sounding human language, and natural language understanding systems convert samples of human language into more formal representations that are easier for computer programs to manipulate.

AI and linguistics (speech)…. converts computer into normal, human language
