CONVERSATIONAL UIs: INTEGRATING SPEECH RECOGNITION
AND CLU IN YOUR HEALTHCARE APP
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
This workshop introduces Nuance’s healthcare development platform with cloud-based medical
speech recognition and clinical language understanding (CLU) technology for iOS, Android, Web
Browser, and Desktop applications. Learn how easy-to-integrate SDKs allow your organization to
add speech-to-text, text-to-speech, voice commands, clinical fact extraction, and more to enhance
usability, documentation, and information retrieval in your healthcare apps. In just 30 minutes, the
Nuance team will demonstrate these fully embeddable feature sets, conduct a live integration,
provide a peek into the future of conversational user interfaces, and offer free developer
evaluations of the technology featured in this workshop.
