Start using Voice Recognition - Augnito

Core Cris

Once your system administrator enables Augnito for you, it will be available when the Report screen is open.

Note:

Augnito can be used in versions 2.12.12 (core Cris) and 1.14 (new Cris) and above.

Tip:

A mic button in the Cris menu bar indicates that voice recognition is enabled When you have a report open, the mic button will be coloured

We recommend enabling speech preview via the Show Preview Dialog option. Speech is transcribed into a preview pane in the report editor. The transcription is dynamic because Augnito gains context and adjusts as you speak. Once you stop speaking, the final text is entered into the report.

  1. Select Scribetech > Preview Dialog.
  2. RECOMMENDED Select the Show Preview Dialog button.

Note:

If Cris detects an interruption in transmission, either due to loss of internet connection or the mic being switched off too soon, the interrupted text will be highlighted so you can check if anything is missing. Right-click > Accept partial VR result once you have checked the text. This will clear the highlight. You can only save a report once interruption issues are resolved.

Choose whether you press the Record button to switch recording on and off, or hold down the button while speaking and release to stop recording.

  1. Select Scribetech > SpeechMike Options.
  2. Select the recommended value Record Toggles Mic.

    3. RECOMMENDED Record Toggles Mic: Switch recording on and off when you press the Record button.

    NOT RECOMMENDED Push to Record : Hold down the button while speaking and release to stop recording. If you release the button too early, it may result in some speech being omitted. Wait until all text has appeared on the screen before releasing the record button.

Note:

If Cris detects an interruption in transmission, either due to loss of internet connection or the mic being switched off too soon, the interrupted text will be highlighted so you can check if anything is missing. Right-click > Accept partial VR result once you have checked the text. This will clear the highlight. You can only save a report once interruption issues are resolved.

  1. Select Scribetech > Source.
  2. Select a microphone from the list of connected devices.

Note:

You may use a headset, SpeechMike, or internal mic. If you charge your phone at a workstation it will be seen as an available mic.

Sample rate is the number of sound samples recorded per second.

  1. Select Scribetech > Sample Rate.
  2. Select a number.

Note:

A higher sample rate provides better quality samples for Augnito to process but requires more bandwidth to transmit. The default of 16,000 should be sufficient for voice recognition.

Choosing a speciality and language model helps Augnito recognise words you are likely to use, and how you might say them.

  1. Select Scribetech > Language Model.
  2. Select Radiology - [your preferred Language Model].

Note:

Choosing a speciality (vocabulary) and language model helps Augnito recognise words you are likely to use.

Apply noise cancelling when using Augnito in a noisy environment.

  1. Select Scribetech > Noise Cancelling.
  2. Select a number.

Note:

  • Noise cancelling reduces the microphone’s sensitivity to background noise.

  • Noise cancelling may be useful in a room with people; printers; or other background noise.

  • Most users will not need to use noise cancelling.

  • Some microphones have in-built noise reduction.

New Cris

  1. Click Menu  to open the Settings pane.
  2. Choose your VR service - Augnito.
  3. Click the Voice recognition switch to turn voice recognition on.
  4. Select a Focus button. This button will return the focus (cursor) to the Reporting screen if you have moved it to another application, for example PACS.

Tip:

The Macro Editor button in the Reporting menu bar indicates when Augnito is active When you have a report open, there is also a mic button

SpeechMike

With your SpeechMike, you can control various applications on your computer or in your browser. You have different button modes available for this purpose. For Cris Reporting, you will need Browser mode.

    2. All corresponding LEDs will start flashing.

  2. Press F3.

    3. The F3 LED will light up to confirm the new button mode setting.

    These are the button actions in Browser mode:

Note:

If LEDs do not start flashing, your mic does not support Browser mode, or the firmware version is not compatible. See System Requirements. Older SpeechMikes can instead use Hotkeys.
