Speech recognition tech has evolved into far more than just a novelty. For a lot of professionals, particularly in healthcare, legal and administrative roles, speech recognition has become a necessity. But there are a lot of platforms out there, so what’s the best voice typing software?

The UK healthcare sector can be incredibly demanding, particularly the NHS, so admin efficiency is vital. Typically, though, admin efficiency is hard to come by. The NHS’s systems are notoriously outdated and largely paper-based. This not only slows processes down, but can also incur significant costs. It’s also just far more taxing, for admin professionals and medical professionals alike.

In recent years, as the administrative burden on the NHS has escalated, time-savers like medical dictation have become less a luxury, and more a necessity. Faced with mounting patient demand and the pressure to cut down waiting lists, efficiency in the healthcare sector has never been more important. WinVoiceWeb, which we developed in collaboration with the NHS, is designed to help healthcare professionals cut down the time they’re spending on repetitive admin, and free up that time for better patient care.

In the UK healthcare sector, particularly in the NHS, efficient admin is an absolute necessity. Despite this, slow document turnaround times remain a significant, widely reported issue. Outdated paper-based processes and manual, fragmented systems cost the NHS time, and money.

Outdated, paper-based processes have long been a burden in the NHS. In a sector where every second counts, there’s a lot of seconds wasted. That’s why Voice Technologies, in collaboration with the NHS, developed FormStream.

Speech recognition software has come a remarkably long way in recent years, and more organisations than ever before are relying on the tech for their daily operations.

Thinking about switching to SpeechLive? Already using it and want to get more from it? Join us in Glasgow on 12 June 2025 for the Voice to Value SpeechLive Forum, hosted by Voice Technologies in partnership with Philips Dictation.

The speech recognition industry gets bigger every year, but because so many people remain unaware just how much better this tech has gotten, we’re repeatedly asked the same questions about products like Nuance Dragon Medical One (DMO).
