Highlights

Speech recognition initially gained traction amongst people with a disability who were unable to use a computer in the traditional way. The number of cases of RSI and upper limb musculoskeletal diseases is growing due to increased computer usage in the work environment and the lack of education around ways to prevent these problems. There are key job roles where the use of speech recognition is suitable, such as radiologists that have repetitive procedures and reports to create. Although there has been substantial uptake in the healthcare industry, and there are becoming more users in professional services industry, the technology is still only utilized by specific positions. There are two leading vendors in the PC- and server-based speech recognition market: Nuance and Philips. These two vendors directly compete in some markets, most noticeably in healthcare and legal transcription areas and both vendors approaching the market differently and the integration of these products with other systems.
