Voicebrook and Nuance Extend Partnership

Voicebrook has built on its long-standing collaboration with Nuance Communications to deliver speech-enabled reporting solutions for anatomic pathology laboratories. Voicebrook will adapt its VoiceOver software to Nuance’s Dragon Medical 360 Network Edition products.

Powered by Nuance’s advanced speech recognition technology, VoiceOver is a component in optimizing anatomic pathology laboratory information system (LIS) and digital pathology workflows.

"We have partnered with Nuance for over 10 years to bring high-quality speech recognition-based reporting solutions to healthcare organizations," said Joseph Desiderio, president of Voicebrook, in a statement. "Our latest agreement expands on this relationship and allows us to provide the most comprehensive speech recognition and reporting solutions for the pathology market. By pairing VoiceOver, our industry-leading pathology reporting solution, with Nuance’s award-winning Dragon Medical 360 line of products, we can offer pathology departments the most advanced solution possible."

VoiceOver includes Integration Personalities that voice-optimizes all major LIS and digital pathology systems, allowing pathology professionals to choose between 100 percent user-created and digital dictation or delegated speech recognition solutions. VoiceOver can also incorporate voice and additional automation to improve other processes, including gross photography, slide labeling, coding, and billing.

"By combining Nuance's Dragon Medical speech recognition and Voicebrook's experience in developing and implementing pathology reporting solutions, the companies will deliver high-value solutions, empowering pathologists to rapidly create comprehensive, accurate pathology reports at a significant savings and with near-instant turnaround time versus laboratory-wide traditional transcription or digital dictation-based solutions," said Carina Edwards, vice president of healthcare solutions at Nuance Healthcare, in a statement.
