A New Use for Speech Recognition

Published April 1, 2009 11:01 AM by Jay Vance
I came across a great new product I'd like to give to every physician who mispronounces or slurs words while dictating. It's the BuzzWord Speech Recognition Wristband. This handy gadget allows you to program words into its memory and when the wearer uses those words, the unit delivers a small electric shock to the wrist. Imagine if you could give this to a doctor preprogrammed with all the words he or she always mispronounces or slurs. Every time the doctor uses those words, he or she gets a zap. Talk about behavior modification!

Whoever dreamed up this little beauty is a genius. I know it's a bit early in the year, but this would make a GREAT Christmas gift for that very special "someone" (and you know the one I'm talking about, don't you?) you can always count on to make mincemeat (another holiday reference) of the English language.

When you order yours, be sure and tell them you heard about it here so I can get the referring bonus.

Thanks, and have a happy April 1st.
