title: Speech recognition acceptance by physicians: A temporal replication of a survey of expectations and experiences.
abstract: A replication survey of physicians' expectations and experience with speech recognition technology was conducted before and after its implementation. The expectations survey was administered to emergency medicine physicians prior to training with the speech recognition system. The experience survey consisting of similar items was administered after physicians gained speech recognition technology experience. In this study, 82 percent of the physicians were initially optimistic that the use of speech recognition technology with the electronic medical record was a good idea. After using the technology for 6 months, 87 percent of the physicians agreed that speech recognition technology was a good idea. In addition, 72 percent of the physicians in this study had an expectation that the use of speech recognition technology would save time. After use in the clinical environment, 51 percent of the participants reported time savings. The increased acceptance of speech recognition technology by physicians in this study was attributed to improvements in the technology and the electronic medical record.
