Amazon Transcribe Medical Enhances Speech-to-Text Accuracy of COVID-19-Related Terms

Amazon Web Services (AWS)
is now helping accurately assess, consume and analyze information related to
COVID-19 by enhancing speech-to-text accuracy of COVID-19 -related
terms with Amazon
Transcribe Medical , a machine learning service that makes it easy
to quickly create accurate transcriptions from medical consultations
between patients and physicians.

These medical speech-recognition capabilities can now help
efficiently and accurately transcribe video and audio containing COVID-19
terminology into text, allowing physicians to better focus on their patient and
provide a more attentive experience instead of interrupting the conversation
for note taking.

Amazon Transcribe Medical Background

Amazon Transcribe Medical is a
fully-managed speech recognition (ASR) service that makes it easy to add
medical speech-to-text capabilities to your applications. Powered by deep
learning, the service already offers a ready-to-use medical speech-recognition
model that you can integrate into a variety of voice applications in the
healthcare and life science domain. Users can now use the custom vocabulary
feature to accurately transcribe more specific medical terminologies, such as
medicine names, product brands, medical procedures, or illnesses. In addition,
users can input the terminology they would like to transcribe and associate
each term with a corresponding pronunciation and display form. Custom
vocabulary is available in all  AWS
Regions  where Amazon Transcribe Medical is available.

Availability

Amazon Transcribe Medical is available in
all  AWS
Regions as both batch (asynchronous) and streaming (synchronous)
public APIs. The service offers state-of-the-art medical transcription for both
dictation and conversation dynamics, with support for US English in primary
care (spanning Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Pediatrics, and OB-GYN).
