Enables fast, accurate dictation within the RMS; hands-free
license plate look-up for safe and efficient reporting
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced
Nuance® Dragon® Law Enforcement – its first professional
productivity solution designed specifically for law enforcement
professionals. Dragon Law Enforcement features powerful dictation
and voice command capabilities to improve report accuracy and
timeliness, speed data entry into records management systems (RMS)
or other applications, and enable common look-up tasks via voice
command — all at up to three times faster than typing, with up to
99 percent accuracy. Nuance will demonstrate Dragon Law Enforcement
in Booth #3757 at the International Association of Chiefs of Police
(IACP) Conference and Exposition, October 15–18, 2016 at the San
Diego Convention Center.
Dragon Law Enforcement delivers on the need of law enforcement
professionals, including police officers and sergeants, for a fast,
accurate way to safely and efficiently meet daily reporting and
documentation demands – all while being able to capture more detail
in the moment versus reporting an incident hours later. Documenting
by voice also allows officers to be heads-up and more situationally
aware by minimizing the need for use of the mobile data terminal
(MDT) keyboard while on patrol. Dragon Law Enforcement also
performs voice-activated license plate and arrest lookups to
instantly assess potential danger.
Additional benefits include:
- Reduced time tethered to a computer
manually typing reports, allowing officers to be more visible in
the community and more productive in their patrol cars
- Easier software license management for
law enforcement IT staff with the ability to manage user profiles
and custom settings.
“Like other professions, law enforcement professionals face
reporting and documentation challenges. However, these
documentation demands can oftentimes impact not only productivity
but officer safety and their ability to be more visible in the
community,” said Peter Mahoney, senior vice president and general
manager of Dragon. “By leveraging our experience in serving the law
enforcement community along with the input from police officers
nationally, we have introduced a customized and tailored
documentation solution that directly addresses their unique
documentation needs.”
Dragon and its Positive Impact on Law Enforcement
Police departments across North America have already experienced
the benefits of Dragon. For instance,
- The Clearwater Police Department
reduced report-writing time by more than 50 percent to give its
officers the ability to get back on the street.
- A police department in Colorado has
estimated a savings of $195,000 every year because it no longer
pays a transcription service.
The Rogers Police Department in Minnesota decided to implement
Dragon as a means to streamline the reporting process and increase
overall department efficiencies. According to Jeffrey Beahen,
Chief, Rogers, Minn. Police Department: “Seeing content on the
screen as they dictate is helping the officers produce more
thorough and accurate reports. They’re able to review, edit and
fill in missing details as they go, which makes a big
difference.”
Delivering on the Needs of Police Chiefs
The latest Dragon solution also meets the appeal by
International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) President
Terrence Cunningham to police departments across the country to
demand speech recognition solutions. When he was sworn into office
in October 2015, Cunningham, who also serves as Chief of Police,
for Wellesley, Massachusetts, Police Department said:
“I believe we must focus on the role of
technology in policing. There is no doubt that technology can be a
great asset to our officers, but there are times when it can also
be a deadly distraction. Specifically, I’m talking about officers
and troopers dying or being severely injured due to the
distractions of technology in their vehicles. We need to demand a
solution that allows officers to keep their head up while issuing
verbal commands to run a query, change a radio frequency, or
activate their emergency lights.”
Dragon Law Enforcement effectively meets Cunningham’s proposed
demand by delivering a solution capable of running common queries
by voice.
