@nusher Absolutely.
I worked in imaging IT for 20+ years, mainly in the space known as "integration". Dictation/transcription was a part of that, though the coding and machine intelligence development was way beyond my scope. But I did so. much. troubleshooting. with physicians and hospital IT teams.
These were effective systems and not at all "standard" dictation, but it seriously takes weeks with intense technical services experts on hand for each implementation. Every single user and voice.

@nusher Even then, some clinicians just could not get to the point of using them competently, because "training" in that context involved a lot of user training, both in how to establish their particular context and lexicon (front-loaded effort) but also how to properly conform to the necessary constraints of clinical reporting forms (an ongoing effort, the speech equivalent of filing in standardized forms). Many cases, we deployed dictation recording, forwarded to trained transcriptionists.
