Voice and dictation
Voice reporting software: from dictation to review
Speech recognition converts speech into text. Voice reporting software may also organize that text within the examination template. In Laudos.AI, the physician dictates findings, receives a structured draft and reviews it before signing. The tool does not receive or interpret images.
A dictated report example with measurements
A synthetic example that illustrates text transformation. This is not a real case or a product test result.
Findings supplied by the radiologist
Non-contrast chest CT. Solid nodule in the right upper lobe, measuring 8 millimeters. No pleural effusion.
Structured excerpt for review
TECHNIQUE Chest computed tomography without intravenous contrast. FINDINGS Solid nodule in the right upper lobe, measuring 0.8 cm. No pleural effusion. IMPRESSION Solid pulmonary nodule in the right upper lobe, measuring 0.8 cm.
Converting 8 mm to 0.8 cm preserves the measurement. This example adds no other normal findings, classification or follow-up recommendation. The final text depends on physician review and case information. Use the editor demo to explore the interface.
Traditional dictation and structured reports
| Step | Transcription | AI structuring |
|---|---|---|
| Input | The physician’s speech. | Dictated findings and the selected template. |
| Output to check | Recognized words and applied commands. | Organized text, including wording changes. |
| Risk to test | An error in a word, number, negation or command. | The same errors, plus omissions or additions during generation. |
| Purchase criterion | Text accuracy and editing effort. | Fidelity to the findings and effort required for a reviewed report. |
What to dictate during the evaluation
Test laterality, negations, three consecutive dimensions, decimal values and corrections during speech. Include a case where a positive finding replaces a normal template statement. Check whether the old statement remains in the text.
Keep the original text, the draft and the final version. Count corrections by type. Word error rate alone does not show whether the clinical meaning changed. Also compare review time.
Can I use my SpeechMike?
Test the device you already use at your reporting workstation. Audio capture and button functions are separate checks. The operating system, browser, permissions and local integration may affect the result. Do not assume full compatibility just because the microphone is recognized.
What happens to the audio?
Audio, intermediate transcription, draft and final report are different data categories. Read the privacy policy and confirm processing, retention, logs and regions for the contracted function. Do not submit identifiable data in a public demo.
Test the review effort in your workflow
The individual Pro plan costs BRL 299/month, with up to 1,000 reports per month. The new-user trial ends after 14 days or up to 30 reports, whichever comes first. Institutions receive a written proposal covering scope, integration and pilot terms. For individual use, see pricing and terms. For teams, include RIS/PACS delivery and fallback procedures in the demo. The reporting software buyer’s guide provides an evaluation plan.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a dictated report and an AI report?
A dictated report uses voice input. AI may only transcribe, or it may also organize the writing. Confirm which steps the software performs and review the output.
Do I need to dictate punctuation and headings?
In Laudos.AI’s report structuring workflow, the physician supplies the findings and the tool organizes the draft. Check punctuation, sections and fidelity to the source before signing.
Can speech recognition confuse right and left?
Errors are possible. Include laterality, negations and measurements in the evaluation and in each report review. No overall accuracy rate removes this check.
Does Laudos.AI diagnose from images?
No. The radiologist interprets the images and supplies the findings. The tool works with the speech and text provided.
