Application of automatic speech recognition to medical reports spoken in Polish

The paper presents an attempt to automatic speech recognition of Polish spoken medical texts. The attempt resulted in experimental system that can be used as a tool for practical applications. The system uses a typical recognition method based on Hidden Markov Model and domain-specific language model. Implemented software made it possible to conduct many experiments aimed on evaluation of the assumed approach usefulness. Obtained experiment results are presented and analyzed. The system architecture and the way in which it can be integrated with hospital information systems is also exposed.
