title: Status of Voicetype Dictation for Windows for the emergency physician.
abstract: The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of the IBM VoiceType Dictation emergency medicine vocabulary domain under several conditions. The vocabulary domain, microphone position, and background noise markedly reduce dictation accuracy. Consequently, this voice recognition system is impractical in an emergency department setting.
