Abstract

We describe a continuous-speech interface for Quick Medical Reference (QMR), which allows physicians to input spoken descriptions of physical-examination findings, or observations. We analyze the difficulties in designing a continuous-speech interface for systems that use medical terminology. We present a method for matching spoken findings names expressed in natural language to QMR terms. The method is based on a semantic representation of findings that both minimize the effect of misrecognition and derive grammars that are necessary for supporting the recognition process.
