Overview
The paper describes the computer program NEWTON Dictate which is used for speech recognition and transcription. The possible uses of this program in forensic medicine are discussed, especially concerning the recognition and transcription of the autopsy findings. Specific conditions of the forensic medicine are introduced, with their influence on speech recognition and translation being the focus. The authors analyze program improvement aimed at reducing mistakes in recognition and transcription which may occur during autopsy work flow. Such improvement involves appropriate vocabulary usage and special vocal adaptation. The role of the autopsy secretary is acknowledged.
