Nuance Wins Two 2017 Speech Industry Awards
August 31 2017 - 8:00AM
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:NUAN) was awarded two of Speech
Technology Magazine’s 11th Annual Speech Industry Awards. Nuance
was recognized with the 2017 Star Performer and Implementation
Awards, the latter featuring client Nebraska Medicine. These wins
reflect Nuance’s stellar reputation as a leader among speech
technology vendors, and further validate the company’s leadership
and expertise in voice, natural language understanding, and
artificial intelligence (AI).
The Star Performer Award annually recognizes speech technology
vendors that have contributed to industry growth with innovative
product or service launches, a heightened focus on speech
technologies through alliances, mergers, and acquisitions, or an
exceptional execution of existing products or services. Nuance was
selected this year for the launch of its Dragon professional suite,
which offers dictation and documentation capabilities for law
enforcement and medical and legal professionals, AI enhancements to
Dragon Drive that allow the connected car to deliver personalized
recommendations to the driver and passengers inside, and automated
monitoring capabilities for its analytics portfolio. The award also
recognizes recent advancements with Nina, Nuance’s virtual
assistant platform for customer engagement, including integration
with Amazon Alexa, the launch of Nina Coach for improved training
and deployment, and expanded authentication and fraud detection
capabilities through multi-factor Nina ID 2.0 as well as the
company’s new, biometrics-driven Security Suite. Nuance was
previously named a Star Performer in the 2016 and 2014 Speech
Industry Awards.
The Implementation Award spotlights Nebraska Medicine’s
application of the Dragon Medical One cloud-based platform and the
significant business benefit reaped from its deployment. Dragon
Medical One is an AI-driven solution that allows physicians to
speak their notes aloud and use voice to control and capture the
complete patient narrative directly into an electronic health
record (EHR) in real time. Since implementing Nuance’s Dragon
Medical One, Nebraska Medicine has seen:
- 23% reduction in transcription costs;
- 94% of users find the software is enabling them to do their
jobs better;
- 71% of users report documentation quality has improved
significantly; and
- 50% of users confirm Nuance saves them more than 30 minutes per
day.
