Fast Voice Input Assists Officers with Document Management
The Dragon Law Enforcement speech recognition platform simply brings the benefits of speech recognition to police officers and others working in legal or law enforcement fields. It’s even able to automate common tasks required of law enforcement officers. For example, instead of police officers having to type out their full names, badge numbers and other contact information, they can program Dragon to do that automatically whenever they say, “add officer info,” or whatever phrase they want to trigger that response.
I tested the law enforcement speech recognition software by filling out arrest reports from a standard template, then compared it with performing the same tasks using manual data entry. On average, I saved 10 to 15 minutes per 30-row form, and even more once I programmed in repeated key elements. These savings can result in records getting into management systems or police databases much faster.
