MedQuist Inc announces the release of SpeechQ for Radiology(TM), an innovative speech recognition solution designed specifically for radiology medical reporting.

Radiologists use the product's front-end speech recognition capability to dictate, edit and authenticate (electronically sign) a report in one session. Flexible workflow choices also allow review and correction by medical editors, and accommodate the needs of radiology residents and fellows. In addition, SpeechQ for Radiology can be used as a traditional digital dictation system. Editing the recognized text automatically updates each physician's speech recognition profile, improving speech recognition accuracy.

"Finalized reports created with SpeechQ for Radiology are often available to the patient's physician and caregivers within minutes after a radiographic exam is completed, instead of hours - or days - with traditional methods," said Terry Cameron, senior vice president of marketing and business development. "It creates very accurate text after only a few minutes of the physician enrollment process, and the recognition rate quickly improves with ongoing use to maximize the radiologist's productivity."

MedQuist, a member of the Philips Group of Companies, is a leading provider of electronic medical transcription, health information and document management products and services. MedQuist provides document workflow management, digital dictation, speech recognition, mobile dictation devices, Web-based transcription, electronic signature, medical coding products and outsourcing services.
