Abstract
A voice recognition system, called Tangora, has been designed for the German language; its prototype has been tested to assess its clinical usefulness for radiological reporting. Its technical vocabulary consis ts of 20,000 words. The system recognises words spoken provided short pauses are inserted. The Tangora system was compared with conventional methods of dictation, using 68 radiological reports. The work necessa ry for each system was analysed. The average time taken by the Tangora system per report was 671 seconds compared with 182 seconds for conve ntional dictation but improvements in the speed of the new system for radiological reporting is to be expected.
