Automatic speech recognition in the operating room – An essential contemporary tool or a redundant gadget? A survey evaluation among physicians in form of a qualitative study

摘要

For decades, automatic speech recognition (ASR) has been the subject of research and its range of applications broadened. Presently, ASR among physicians is mainly used to convert speech into text but not to implement instructions in the operating room (OR). This study aimed to evaluate physicians of different surgical professions on their personal experience and posture towards ASR.
