StructuRad Macros now available for Dictaphone® PowerScribe® from Nuance

PowerScribe Incorporates New Library of Radiology Report Templates to Enhance Radiologists’ Productivity with Pre-Built Reporting Templates Just a Spoken Word Away

Providence, R.I., SIIM Booth # 317 – June 7, 2007 - Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), a leading provider of speech and imaging solutions, today announced the availability of the StructuRad radiology macro library for Dictaphone® PowerScribe®. StructuRad, the innovator in low-cost radiology supporting solutions, developed the library of radiology macros specifically for PowerScribe. This feature enables PowerScribe users to create reports by combining PowerScribe’s voice edit features with StructuRad’s macro library, a quick and convenient way to accelerate the reporting process by putting a rich set of templates at the radiologist’s finger-tips.

“At Dictaphone we are dedicated to providing our customers with the most advanced and efficient technologies available to date,” said Peter Durlach, senior vice president, marketing and product strategy, Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions, Nuance. “By offering PowerScribe users StructuRad macros, radiologists will have the ability to invoke the combined power of StructuRad macros and Dictaphone physician self-editing tools to save time, improve report quality and achieve great cost savings.”

StructuRad macros for PowerScribe provide a library of more than 900 standard and uncommon report templates derived from its proprietary radiology knowledgebase. The macro library of report templates has been created to utilize PowerScribe voice edit features and permits PowerScribe users to create reports by calling a macro and making simple edits. Having a standardized macro library embedded in PowerScribe improves report quality and consistency, and dramatically enhances radiologist productivity.

Proven with more than 960 customers worldwide, Dictaphone PowerScribe from Nuance saves health care organizations thousands of dollars per doctor each year in reduced or eliminated manual transcription costs. Through the combination of highly accurate speech recognition software and powerful physician self-editing tools, PowerScribe dramatically reduces report turnaround time in even the most demanding medical environments. By automating the clinical documentation process through its Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions, Nuance aims to eliminate the high cost and long turnaround time associated with the manual transcription of patient notes, currently a $10 billion industry in North America alone.
