Several companies claim to provide hospitals and healthcare organizations with AI-based medical transcription software, specifically speech recognition software
Fremont, CA: Except for Nuance Communications, we can't seem to find evidence that the prominent companies offering speech recognition software for medical transcription have the talent we would expect at their company. It's unclear how their solutions would function without natural language processing, a type of artificial intelligence. Nuance employs many data scientists who hold PhDs and Master's degrees in computer science and hard sciences such as physics. This is generally what we look for when vetting a company's claims to be leveraging artificial intelligence andcutting through the marketing hype we see on AI vendor websites
Nuance Communications provides natural language processing software to a wide range of industries, not just healthcare. This distinguishes them from the other companies listed in this report. Ideally, a company should sell into one or two niches, tailoring their software to specific use cases.
Natural language processing algorithms frequently require specificity in their training.
