About
OnePacs Cloud Voice Recognition is a purely web-based, cross-platform speech recognition product built into the OnePacs reporting solution. No applications or browser plugins/extensions are required and the engine is speaker-independent so no voice training is required. This allows physicians to quickly and accurately dictate medical imaging reports with minimal setup.
Microphone Operation
The status of OnePacs Cloud Voice Recognition is indicated by the microphone icon with the OnePacs reporting solution.
| Dictation Mode | The green mic icon indicates that the microphone is listening and that output will be directed to the report editor. Voice commands, when recognized, are executed in lieu of text output. Dictate "pause dictation" or click the icon or press F5 to toggle to command-only mode. |
| Command-only Mode | The yellow mic icon indicates that the microphone is listening, but will only output recognized voice commands (see Voice Commands below). Dictate "start dictation" or click the icon or press F5 to change to dictation mode. |
| Stopped | Voice recognition has been stopped. The microphone is not active and not listening for voice commands. Click or press F5 to start dictation mode. |
| Not active | Voice recognition is either disabled (see Preferences below) or not authorized for your account. |
| Connection error | Voice recognition required an internet connection. This icon will show indicating that the connection could not be made. Verify your internet connection and try again. |
Automatic Microphone Activation
When the OnePacs Report Generator/Editor browser window is activated, the microphone will automatically activate if it was previously active. This allows for switching between windows without having to start/stop dictation.
Background Dictating
OnePacs Cloud Voice Recognition may be used when the browser is in the background. This allows a radiologist, for example, to interact with an image viewer application while continuing to dictate. Voice commands may be issued when in the background.
