The following changes may be available in production before 13.1 is deployed.*** - **Accuracy Improvements - All Topics:** - **New Neural Network -** All topics (except for 8kHz General Medicine) have been converted to an improved neural network model, improving accuracy. This change will roll out when the systems are upgraded to 13.1, and user profiles and profile artifacts (such as user vocabulary) will be upgraded as people start to use them. Direct Text will also work with this new neural network model. There is nothing that the end-user or partners need to do to put this upgrade into effect. Operations will increase capacity on the server for a period of time for this extra work to occur. (B-14077, B-14001, B-14118) - **New Drug Names Added** - New drug names have been added to the dictionary and topics. There is currently no sentence modeling that includes these terms, so they may not return correctly in transcripts until some has been collected. However, since the words are now in the *dictionary*, they will be included in sentence modeling made from corrections on the Review & Correct page because they won't be unknown words. (B-13980, B-13969) - **No Space After "Period" Followed by Proper Noun -** When saying "period" followed by a proper noun, a space was not being added between the period and the word. This was not happening with common nouns. (Grammar Lesson: A proper noun is the name of a person, place or thing and always begins with a capital letter.) This has been fixed in 13.1. (D-10589) - **Word Marker Improvements -** Changes were made to the way word markers work in dictations that include spoken letters (such as "E E N T") to reduce the cases in which they were incorrect. (D-10782) - **Accuracy Improvements - General Medicine:** - **"Offered to" Dropped from Transcript** - We received a support ticket in which the words "Offered to" in the dictation of *"Offered to refer the patient to ENT..."* were sometimes being dropped from the returned transcript. We discovered that there was not enough statistical representation for the phrase "offered to refer".  Updates have been made to the General Medicine topic to improve the representation of these words in a dictation. (D-10711) - **"Midlung" Returning Hyphenated or as Two Words -** The term "midlung" was returning as two words ("mid lung") or hyphenated ("mid-lung") in the General Medicine topic. Support for the term "midlung" has been added, and instances of the term returning hyphenated or as two words have been corrected. This term should now work correctly. (D-10770) - **"Biocorneum" Retuning as Two Words -** The name of the scar treatment product "Biocorneum" was returning in dictations on the General Medicine topic as "bio corneum". Though the word was in the dictionary, there was no support for it. This has been added and the term should now return correctly in the General Medicine topic as well in the Surgery topic. (D-10769) - **"Uro" Transcribing as Symbols -** The term "uro" was was being returned as symbols. The term was conflicting with the word "Euro" due to an error. Corrections have been made for this term and it should now work correctly across all topics. (D-10723) - **"Photo" Returning as "FOTO" -** The word "photo" was presenting in transcriptions as "FOTO" as in "The patient presented a FOTO identification". This issue was being corrected with a RegEx substitution, but those substitutions are no longer needed as this has now been fixed in the topic. (D-10768) - **"Lasix b.i.d." Returning as "Lasix be ID" -** The abbreviation "b.i.d." was returning as "be ID" after the word Lasix. Support has been added and this should return correctly now. (D-10776) - **"Diet" Returning as "Day" -** The term "diet" was sometimes returning as the word "day". Pronunciation adjustments were made for the word "diet" to help correct this. (D-10791) - **"Cipralex" Not Returning -** The name Cipralex, a Canadian brand of Lexapro, was not returning correctly in dictations. Support for this term has been added in the General Medicine topic, as well as Gastroenterology and Mental Health topics. (D-10774) - **"Trinucleated" Not Returning -** The term "trinucleated" was returning in dictations as "triangulated" or "try nucleated". Support has been added for this term. (D-10771) - **Number Sequence Not Returning Correctly -** The number sequence of "one point zero two zero" was returning as "1.0 2-0" instead of "1.020". This has been fixed, and should work correctly across all topics now. (D-10734) - **Comma Dropped for Southern Accent Speaker -** The punctuation "comma" is being dropped from dictation transcripts for a speaker with a Southern accent. Additional pronunciations and support were added to improve this. (D-10733) - **Period Punctuation Transcribed as Word "Period" -** We did some work to help resolve the issue of  "period" being transcribed as the word "period" instead of the punctuation mark *when it should be* transcribed as the punctuation.  You should see improvement. (D-10713, D-10775) - **Mis-Recos and Dropping Words -** - In a dictation of "*Patient returns for follow-up. He has been having ongoing pain in the lower back. His L1-2 facet blocks did not help him this time. Pain will occasionally go in to the left thigh.*" SayIt was mis-recognizing "His L1-L2" and the word "thigh". It also dropped "Pain will" from the transcript. Support has been added for these phrases. (D-10728) - In a dictation of "*I reviewed with him his options. These include medication physical therapy lifestyle modifications injections and surgery. He is not a good surgical candidate because his pain is mostly axial it is multi-level in terms of the degenerative changes and he has medical comorbidities.*", SayIt was mis-recognizing"degenerative changes" and dropped the word "He" from the third sentence. Support has been added to correct this. (D-10727) - In a dictation of "*The patient returns for follow-up for increased pain secondary to her motor vehicle accident. She has been having increased pain in her neck mid back and low back. The pain does not radiate. She gets occasional pain that radiates into the right shoulder but it is more in the neck itself. There is no significant weakness. She definitely feels that the pain is intensified and worsened since the motor vehicle accident. The pain goes up the back slightly higher more intense in the neck. She states that she had to hold the steering wheel very tightly when she was hit. She denies bowel or bladder incontinence rates the pain level a 7 out of 10 in the back and mid back and 5 out of 10 in the neck*", SayIt mis-recognized the phrase "She definitely feels" and dropped "5 of of 10 in the neck" from the last sentence. Support has been added to correct this. (D-10726) - In dictations that include "*right eye*", the dictation server would skip the word "right". In dictations that include "*left eye*", the dictation server would transcribe incorrectly, such as "left thigh". Support was added to improve recognition. (D-10796) - In a dictation of "*His symptoms were very severe. He went to see his family physician which required*", SayIt missed the word "His" at the beginning of the sentence. Support was added to correct this issue. (D-10731) - In a dictation of *"...requesting to have her medicines renewed so she may have them with her and other strategies that she may have when she is..."* SayIt returned *"...requesting to have her medicines renewed session and have them with her and other strategy is that she may have when she has to is..."*. Support has been added to correct this. (D-10730) - In a dictation that included "*He* denies," SayIt returned "*She* denies". In a dictation that included, "*He is still* shaking." SayIt returned just "Shaking." Some pronunciation corrections have been added to the dictionary to help with this. (D-10729) - **Accuracy Improvements - Surgery:** - **"Biocorneum" Retuning as Two Words -** The name of the scar treatment product "Biocorneum" was returning in dictations as "bio corneum". Support has been added for this term and it should now return correctly in the Surgery topic. (D-10769) - **Accuracy Improvements - Gastroenterology:** - **Name "Cipralex" Added to Dictionary -** The name Cipralex, a Canadian brand of Lexapro, was not returning correctly in dictations on the General Medicine topic. Support has been added fro this term in the Gastroenterology topic, as well as General Medicine and Mental Health topics. (D-10774) - **Accuracy Improvements - Behavioral Health:** - **Name "Cipralex" Added to Dictionary -** The name Cipralex, a Canadian brand of Lexapro, was not returning correctly in dictations on the General Medicine topic. TSupport has been added in the Behavioral Health topic, as well as General Medicine and Gastroenterology topics, to correct this. (D-10774) - **"Zest" Returning Capitalized -** The term "zest" was returning capitalized in dictations in the Behavioral Health topic. A token was created specifically for "Zest *soap*" and the  term "zest" was corrected and support was added to fix this issue. (D-10808) - **"Emphasized" Returns as "Emphasised" -** The term "emphasized" was returning in dictations spelled "emphasised" in the Behavioral Health topic. The topic was updated to remove conflicting spellings for "emphasize" and various endings of this term. (D-10808) - **Accuracy Improvements -Narrative:** - **First Word After Quote Not Capitalized -**There was an issue in which the first letter after a quote at the beginning of a new line would not be capitalized. This has been fixed. (D-10758) - **Updated Narrative Topic -** The modeling for the Narrative topic has been updated. (B-13756) ## SayIt - **Add a Sounds Like Pronunciation to Vocabulary in SayIt -** You can now add a pronunciation for your account vocabulary terms within My Vocabulary using the new Sounds Like feature. Previously this could only be added via SayIt Administrator. We still recommend that you do NOT add a Sounds Like pronunciation when *first creating* a new vocabulary term; try using the new term in some dictations first. Most of the time, vocabulary terms will be recognized better without adding a pronunciation. However, there are times when adding the pronunciation may help, and now users can add their own. (B-14041) - **Improved Loading Message for Downloading Resources -** When SayIt is launched, users with the ability to run HTML Automations, Vision Shortcuts, and/or Fast Shortcuts must wait while those resources are downloaded. A Loading message with a progress bar would appear while the resources were being downloaded. However even after the message disappeared, SayIt functionality could not be used for a few seconds while the resources were being installed, making it seem like SayIt was unresponsive. Now, the Loading message has been improved so that it stays on the screen during the install after the download is complete. The progress bar disappears, but the message stays on the screen letting the user know that SayIt is still "getting ready". (D-10587) - **Improved Mac Download of Resources -** SayIt resources to run Fast Shortcuts on Mac were being saved to the `$TMDIR`, which is a temp directory that is cleaned up each time the computer is restarted. This meant that Fast Shortcut resources had to be downloaded over and over again on a Mac. In 13.1, the directory to which Fast Shortcut resources are saved on a Mac has changed to `[user home]/Library/Application Support/com.nvoq.sayit`, and thus saves these resources so that they do not have to be downloaded each time. (D-10517) - **Improved Fast Shortcut Matching -** In our testing, we noticed that Fast Shortcuts were working better when the shortcut hotkey was held down longer. For 13.1, the handling of the hotkey release has been improved resulting in better matching for Fast Shortcuts. (D-10720) - **Improved Hands Free "Stop Dictation" Functionality -** Word markers are now being used to improve the functionality of the Hands Free command, "Stop Dictation" on Windows and Mac. (B-13855) - **Improvements to Direct Text -** We continue to make improvements to the Direct Text feature. - An issue was addressed in which a new paragraph command was being split between word boundaries to cause problems. This has been fixed with a change to word alignment logic. (D-10780) - An issue was addressed in which the final words of a dictation were missing in the transcript due to the absence of word markers. Adding additional silence to the end of the dictations was a work-around that corrected the problem. To fix the problem, logic was added to Direct Text to keep historical markers when there are no word markers. (D-10744) - Changes were made to the "caps on"/"caps off" and "all caps on"/"all caps off" built-in substitutions to improve their functionality within Direct Text. (D-10795 - When dictating a "dash" or a "slash," the first letter of the word following the dash or slash would be dropped when dictating with Direct Text. For example, a dictation of "mass slash lymph nodes" would return "mass/ymph nodes". This issue has been fixed. (D-10837) - There was an issue with Direct Text dropping entire parts of a transcript, and sometimes the entire transcript. There was improvement on this with the new neural network, and additionally a check for this issue has been added to correct and avoid it. (D-10834) #### Bug Fixes in SayIt - **Font Change Not Applied if "Show Paste History" Disabled -** It was discovered that if a user updated the font in SayIt (using the "Change Font" option on the Options menu), the font changes would not be applied to text in the SayIt main window if "Show Paste History" (also on the Options menu) was unchecked. The updated font would still appear on the Popup menu and MSW, just not in the SayIt main window text area. This has been fixed. (D-10621) - **Mismatches with "Open Select and Say" Voice Command -** Some users were getting mismatches when trying to use the "Open Select and Say" voice command (that opens the Select and Say window if Select and Say is enabled on the Options menu).  Additional pronunciations of the word "open" were added to improve recognition of this command. (D-10789) - **Resource Installation Failed Error During System Upgrade -** It was possible, if you timed it just right, to get a Resource Installation Failed error if you happen to log in to SayIt while the system was being upgraded from one version to another (i.e. from 12.2 to 13.0). This could occur if the user logged in to one server running one version (i.e. 12.2) and then SayIt attempted to download resources for HTML shortcuts, fast shortcuts, or vision shortcuts from another server that had already been upgraded (i.e. 13.0). This was fixed by creating versioned resource archives so that SayIt only ever attempts to download resources for the correct version it is running. (D-10547) - **Improvements to Capitalization Substitutions -** In the previous release, new built-in substitutions ("caps on" and "all caps on") were added for capitalizing text within a dictation. For some users, the dictation engine would not recognize the "caps on" substitution command at all, instead returning "Kemp's on" in the transcript. "All caps on" was sometimes being misrecognized as "all caps *an*", returning the word "AN" in all caps instead of capitalizing all text that followed. Some pronunciation corrections have been made for these commands, and reinforcement was added for the terms to improve the likelihood of recognition. (D-10785, D-10786) - **Font Name with Apostrophe Break Popup Menu -** Fonts that have an apostrophe in their name (like Porky's, Ol' Cowboy, etc.) break SayIt and cause the Popup menu to not open when that font is selected on the Options menu under Change Font in SayIt. To mitigate this, fonts with an apostrophe in the name will no longer appear on the Font menu in SayIt even if they are loaded on your computer. (D-10813) - **No Dictation Transcript if "Apply Substitutions" is Off and "Hands Free" is On -** In 13.0, when "Apply Substitutions" is disabled (unchecked) and Hands Free is enabled (checked) on the Options menu in SayIt, dictation transcripts will not return. This has been fixed in 13.1. (D-10798) - **Template Shortcuts Launched from HTML Shortcut Do Not Have Focus -** When launching a template shortcut as a sub-shortcut from an HTML shortcut, the template text area would not have focus. The first field in the template would be highlighted *as if it had focus*, but no text could be placed into that field unless you clicked into the field and manually re-highlighted it by dragging the mouse over it. Ain't nobody got time for that. This has been fixed in 13.1. (D-10815) - **Group Triggers Causing SayIt to Hang on Mac -** Triggers are workflow or HTML automations that can be configured to run for a group in SayIt Administrator. They are not supported on Mac (since workflow and HTML automations do not run on a Mac) and they could cause SayIt to hang. This has been fixed in 13.1. SayIt will now ignore group triggers when logging in on a Mac. (D-10229) - **Transcription Error/Paste Issues due to Inability to Access Clipboard -** Some users were having trouble pasting text into emails from SayIt, others were getting a Transcription Error which would cause SayIt to not paste text. Both issues were caused by an inability to access the clipboard. Logic has been added to allow SayIt to successfully paste text from the clipboard if it fails the first time. (D-10820) - **False Positives on Vocabulary -**  Terms added to Vocabulary were returning in dictation transcripts when not being spoken. This issue is handled better in the improved neural network model and should be resolved in 13.1. (D-10831) ## **SayIt Administrator** - **New Admin Role for Shortcut Designer -** There is a new Admin Role called "Shortcut Designer" which gives a user account the ability to add and edit organization shortcuts in the Shortcut Designer without having access to SayIt Administrator. Admin Roles are assigned to user accounts on the Accounts page. A user with a Shortcut Designer role has access to all of the organization shortcuts available at the Admin Level to which the account is assigned, and shortcuts created in the Shortcut Designer are created at that Admin Level as well. (For example, if the account is assigned to a Group organization as the Admin Level, then all shortcuts created in Shortcut Designer by this account will be created in that group. If the account is assigned to a Company organization as the Admin Level, all shortcuts created in Shortcut Designer will be created at the company and available to all users within that company.) There was no change made to the "Customer Administrator" Admin Role. Users with a Customer Administrator role still have access to SayIt Administrator and to organization shortcuts in the Shortcut Designer. (B-14051) - **New Shortcut Internal Notes Field -** A new Internal Notes text field has been added to the Add or Edit Shortcut page in SayIt Administrator. This field could be used for internal notes (i.e. created by, edited by, date last updated, etc.) that are only visible within SayIt Administrator and Shortcut Designer; the notes are not visible to end-users in the client. Notes entered in this field also appear on the shortcut History tab. (B-13689) - **Dictation Usage Report Now Shows Average Accuracy BEFORE Substitutions -** The accuracy percentage on the Dictation Usage Report will now show that calculation for average accuracy *before* substitutions are applied to dictation transcripts, as this text generally reflects what the dictator *actually said* in their dictation more accurately. (Text after substitutions are applied often includes many more or fewer words than the person actually dictated.) When this report is run after 13.1 is deployed, the accuracy percentage for individual accounts may change because the value will be based on corrections made based on the originally returned text (that's the text on the "Original" tab of the Item Detail window on the Review & Correct page) instead of substituted text (the text on the "Substitutions" tab). This impacts all corrections made in the date range selected, even if they were made *before 13.1* was deployed. Going forward, the process for Review & Correct has changed so that you will now copy text from the Original tab of the Item Detail window before doing corrections instead of from the Substitutions tab, and that updated process is reflected in the 13.1 documentation for Review & Correct. (B-14115) - **Review & Correct Audio Playback for Edge Browser on Windows 10 -** By default, the Microsoft Edge browser cannot play OGG audio files on the Review & Correct page in the Item Detail window. If you are running Windows 10 Fall Creator (Windows 10, version 1709) there is a Web Media Extension you can download in order to play these audio files. The extension is available here: **[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/web-media-extensions/9n5tdp8vcmhs](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/web-media-extensions/9n5tdp8vcmhs)** (D-10528) - **Switch Between 8kHz and 16kHz Dictation Topics Allowed -** In 13.0, you could not switch between a 16kHz dictation topic to an 8kHz dictation topic or vice versa once the group had been saved because it caused problems in the dictation server. Now you *can* switch between 16kHz and 8kHz topics, and profile artifacts (such as user vocabulary) can be used between them. Keep in mind however that the General Medicine 8kHz topic (the only 8kHz topic to date) is still used for testing only. It is not needed unless you are doing back-end transcription. Moreover, there is no acoustic adaptation on the 8kHz topic. (B-14059) #### Bug Fixes in SayIt Administrator - **Login After Timeout Doesn't Take You to Last Location -** A login after a session timeout in SayIt Administrator is supposed to take you directly back to the page you were viewing when the timeout occurred. In 13.0, this was no longer happening. The issue has been fixed in 13.1.  (D-10783) - **Account Import / Upload File No Longer Allows Apostrophe or Hyphen in Name -** It was discovered that the .csv template file that is uploaded to import user accounts would not allow an apostrophe or a hyphen in a user's first or last name (i.e. Mary-Anne O'Toole) in the 13.0 release. The work-around was to remove the apostrophe and/or hyphen from the spreadsheet, but then add it back in manually to the individual account on the Edit Account page. This has been fixed in 13.1; apostrophes and hyphens are allowed in first or last names on the Account .csv file. (D-10827) - **Shortcuts Copied from Organization to Account Not Visible in SayIt by Default -** In 13.0, when a shortcut is copied from an organization to an account the"Visible" field is being set by default to "No", which means the shortcut is NOT visible in the SayIt the Popup menu or in the My Shortcuts list. The user has no way of changing it in the client; it must be updated in SayIt Administrator. This has been fixed in 13.1. The default is for these shortcuts to be Visible = "Yes". (D-10816) - **Older API Keys Not Working -** If you're using API keys you may have discovered that API keys created prior to March 30 were not working even though they were not expired. This was caused by a code change which added an additional item to the encoding. Older keys generated prior to this did not include this additional information and were throwing an exception. This has been fixed in 13.1, and older API keys generated prior to March 30 will now work. (D-10846) - **Single Sign On using API Key Not Working if Password Change Needed** - If a password is configured to be "reset on initial sign-in" a the Division level it was discovered that an API Key would not work until the user sets their password. Moreover, if a password is expired (also a Division level setting), an API Key login would fail. These issues have been fixed. Password policy parameters (reset password on initial login or password expired) are no longer checked if API key is used for authentication.  (D-10801) - #### Removed from SayIt Administrator: - **Automation Access Setting Removed from Accounts Page and Tenant Page -** The Automation Access setting on the Accounts page and on the Tenant page (at the SYSTEM level) has been removed.  This setting allowed users to edit HTML Automation and Workflow Automation shortcuts in the SayIt client. Power users could edit these types of shortcuts in the client, Read Only users could not. The setting has been removed and now all users can edit all types of shortcuts in SayIt. AutomationAccess is also no longer an Account Property. (B-13947) - **Transcription Assist Menu Removed from Organizations Page -** The ability to use a third-party transcription service with the Transcription Assist feature is no longer supported. As a result, the Transcription Assist menu on the Organizations page at the Group level on the Client Setting tab has been removed. This was the menu from which you could select a third-party transcription service for use with the Transcription Assist feature. Groups that had been configured to use a third-party service have been migrated off of these services. (B-14002) - **Transcription Item Type Removed from Review & Correct Page -** Removing the ability to use a third party service with the Transcription Assist features has also removed the need for the "Transcription" item ID type on the Review & Correct page, so that option is no longer available from the Item Type drop-down menu on the Review & Correct page Filter. (B-14002) - **Transcription and Transcription Lines Columns Removed from Dictation Usage Report -** Removing the ability to use a third party service with the Transcription Assist features has also removed the need for the "Transcription" and "Transcription Lines" columns in the Dictation Usage report. These columns displayed the  number of transcriptions sent to a transcription service that occurred during a specified time period, and the number of lines transcribed and sent to a transcription service, respectively. (B-14002) ## **Shortcut Designer** - **New Internal Notes Field -** An Internal Notes text field has been added to the Options tab in Shortcut Designer. This field could be used for internal notes (i.e. created by, edited by, date last updated, etc.) that are only visible within SayIt Administrator and Shortcut Designer; the notes are not visible by the end-user in the client. These notes also appear on the History tab in Shortcut Designer. (B-13689) #### Bug Fixes in Shortcut Designer - **Number Component Disappears in Edge Browser -** When using the Microsoft Edge browser,  if you dropped a Number component into the Design area and then clicked the OK button on the component window, the component would disappear from shortcut in the Design area. This has been fixed. (D-10631) - **Shortcut Designer Not Scaling -** The Shortcut Designer Design area and Output areas do not scale when viewed on a monitor with the display set to 125% or 150%. Instead, these areas appear below the component menu. This has been fixed. In 13.1 the areas appear side-by-side to the right of the component menu, as they should. (D-10572) - **Wrong Component Deleted when Dragging Off Shortcut Area -** Did you know you can delete components from the Shortcut Design area by dragging them off the area and just dropping them? Well you can, but if you do that in 13.0 you may inadvertently delete the wrong component. There is an "off by one" issue in which the actual component that is deleted is the one that was just below the one that was dragged off, unless it is the first or last component in the design area. (The first component behaves as expected. The last component does nothing when you try to delete this way.) This has been fixed in 13.1. (D-10811) ## **Microphones** - **Philips SpeechMike Premium Air****-** The Philips SpeechMike Premium Air (4000) has been tested by nVoq and added to the list of Recommended Microphones for use with the SayIt voice client for the 13.1 release. It works with SayIt on Windows as well as Mac, and there is no extra configuration needed to run on the Mac (it just works).  (B-14046) - Philips SpeechMike **Premium Air****Slider****-** The Philips SpeechMike Premium Air Slider (4010) has been tested by nVoq and added to the list of Recommended Microphones for use with the SayIt voice client for the 13.1 release.  It works with SayIt on Windows as well as Mac, and there is no extra configuration needed to run on the Mac (it just works). (B-14047) ## Wireless Microphone (iOS) #### Removed from Wireless Microphone App: - **Transcription Assist with Third-Party Transcription Service -** The ability to use a third-party transcription service with the Transcription Assist feature is no longer supported. It is still possible to use the feature (on an iOS device only), and doing so will send the dictation transcript directly to SayIt Administrator where it can be reviewed or updated on the Review & Correct page. If you were configured to use NBC or Dataworx transcription service with Transcription Assist, this service has been removed for your account. The Transcription Assist feature for use without a third-party service is not available for Android. (B-14002) ## **SayIt API** - **Updates to Login Service -** Modification of the login service was done to specify what roles (i.e. dictation and matching roles) a user account has in which organizations (i.e. in Boulder GenMed Group). We added the `user_roles` value to contain the roles and associated organization. The `user_id` field was also added as an identifier that will eventually be used in Shortcut Designer to filter shortcuts. Headers on the older login service were also added for completeness. (B-14093) - **Organization Properties Changes -** Organization Properties now includes whether or not an organization is enabled and what level it is for each organization returned.  (B-14095) - **Update to Get Accounts Service -** A new field (`user_roles`) was added to the response which specifies the roles an account has along with the organization. This value correctly changes as roles are added and removed. The group and group identifier also behaves as if it was associated with the dictation role. (D-10823) - **Audio Format pcm-8kHz Added -**  Because the Fisher dictation server does not support true uLaw audio, the pcm-8kHz audio format was added to the Dictation / AudioResource HTTP code path to allow for 8kHz 16-bit PCM for 8kHz General Medicine dictation processing. While uLaw was removed from examples in the API, we did not remove the uLaw audio format so as not to introduce breaking changes for current API consumers. (D-10799) - **Improve Hands Free Keyword Spotting Matches Using Word Markers -** You can now specify a timestamp and truncate a dictation to remove hands free keyword matches (i.e. "Stop Dictation"). In a hands-free setting, the audio containing the voice command to end the dictation may have been sent to the server. When setting audio done, you may also set `audioDoneTime` to be the time in seconds from the beginning of the dictation audio at which this command started, and the server will remove all words from that time on from the transcript, so your command can be something other than "Stop Dictation" if you want. (B-13855) - **Cleaned Up Documentation for Account Vocabulary -** We found some problems with the API calls listed for Account Vocabulary and so we cleaned that up. During our review of this documentation, the Obtain Spoken Form section was removed. We use "Written Form" for Vocabulary, so the section for "Spoken Form" was not needed. Frankly, it should have been removed a while ago, but was overlooked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (B-14041) - **Improved Fast Shortcut Recognition -** Problems with the accuracy of Fast Shortcuts (aka client-side ASR) were reported, especially with Select and Say grammars.
