Did you know there is a list of voice commands that are commonly used by Radiologists?

Voice commands are productivity tools used by Radiologists to save valuable time when dictating reports by allowing them to navigate the report, make corrections, and perform actions by using their voice; thereby, eliminating the need to use the keyboard and/or mouse.

According to our speech recognition specialist, Michael Geraghty, the most commonly used voice commands, used by radiologists during the dictation of reports, are related to highlighting and removing words, formatting highlighted text, moving around the document, and actions related to special commands. Over the past several years, Mr. Geraghty has traveled to many sites and observed hundreds of radiologists' dictation skills. From his experiences, he has compiled a list of the most commonly used voice commands used by these radiologists, as follows:
