Speech recognition technology developer M*Modal said it has enhanced its Fluency Flex mobile dictation application for iOS devices 6.0 and higher.
The enhancement moves Fluency Flex beyond capturing clinical notes to incorporate more robust clinical documentation, allowing clinicians to select patients from their schedule to quickly and accurately record clinical notes, the firm said.
The app captures high-quality audio data for immediate transmission to the M*Modal Fluency for Transcription speech engine for fast text conversion and transfer to electronic medical record (EMR) systems, the company said.
Voice capture is available both online and offline, using either 3G or Wi-Fi signals to upload dictations. In addition, audio can be played back while in process, and jobs can be suspended for later review or completion.
The company said it has also improved audio quality, taking advantage of the latest noise reduction technology on the iPhone. In compliance with HIPAA guidelines, features also include unique authentication, inactivity timeout, data encryption, and secure communication over SSL. The app is available for free in the iTunes App Store.
