Abstract
This paper describes our efforts developing the voice controlled interface for the medical- pharmaceutical information system. It is well known that voice controlled interfaces are of particular importance and may provide significant convenience for healthcare professionals. Many international IT companies provide speech processing by using tools oriented at the physicians or at other professionals working in the related areas. Lithuanian professionals feel a significant lack of speech processing since there are still no attempts to integrate Lithuanian speech processing into medical information systems in this country. The paper presents several IS under development for the use in Lithuanian healthcare institutions. The experimental evaluation shows that it is possible to achieve recognition accuracy (at least 95% of correct recognition) acceptable for the practitioners. The evaluation of system prototypes shows that voice interfaces may lead to the increased convenience of IT systems at the healthcare practitioners.
