Echo will automatically insert descriptive terminology next to medical terms to help inform patients. e.g. “Apyrexial” becomes “Apyrexial (did not have a raised temperature)” This guide explains how to use Patient Mode with text which has already been typed or transcribed in to an application.
Log in to Lexacom Echo

If you are using a handheld Olympus or Philips microphone with an F3 button, you can press this instead.
Medical terminology will be identified by Comprehension Engine®. It will automatically insert a description for the patient in brackets next to the transcribed text. E.g.
User has typed = “The patient was aphonic”
Echo transcribes = “The patient was aphonic (voice can not be heard)”
Comprehension Engine® terminology is evolving every day, if you identify a term that hasn’t yet been added and would benefit your patients you can submit a request.
