Article Summary

This report displays dictation usage information for users in a custom group over a specified date range.

Statistics include:

  • The total number of dictations per user
  • The total number of words transcribed from a user's dictations
  • The average number of words spoken by a user per dictation
  • The average recognition accuracy of a user's corrected dictation text
  • The total number of words included in the user's corrected text
  • The total number of minutes for a user's dictation audio recorded 
  • The total number of seconds of a user's audio per dictation
  • The total number of lines transcribed from a user's dictations
If a user is moved to a different group, all of the user's dictations are listed under their current group.
This is different than what is shown on the Review & Correct page, where dictations are kept in the group that the user was in when they were submitted.

Dictation Usage Custom Group Report Columns

Click on any column header on the page to sort information in ascending or descending order. 

Username

The identification used by the account holder to log in to the client.

  • Accounts that have been deleted are listed with the word [deleted] next to the user name.

First Name

The account holder's first name.

Last Name

The account holder's last name. 

Status

The status of the account holder if deleted or disabled. This will be blank if the account is enabled. 

Number of Dictations

The total number of dictations recorded by the account holder during the selected date range. This includes dictation attempts that returned zero words. 

Words Transcribed

The total number of words transcribed from dictations recorded by the account holder, as determined by the dictation engine. 

"Words" for the sake of the word count is text separated by white spaces, not counting built-in formatting commands (like "new line"). Punctuation is not counted as a word either UNLESS the punctuation is the ONLY thing in the dictation (e.g. "question mark"), then that counts as one word. Substitutions are counted as the word or words that elicit the substitution and not the substituted text (e.g. "signature" would be counted as one word even if the substituted text was, "George Glass, Hospice RN").

Average Spoken Words

The average number of words spoken per dictation (rounded to the nearest whole number) recorded by the account holder. 

Average Original Transcript Accuracy

The average recognition accuracy of corrected dictation text from dictations recorded by the account holder before substitutions are applied.
The calculation only includes dictation text that has been corrected and saved during the date range selected at the top of the page. Dictation text before substitutions are applied is found on the Original tab on the Review & Correct Detail screen. (See Listen to Audio & View Transcripts) This field is blank when no corrections were saved during the selected date range.  

The calculation takes the total number of words in all dictations corrected during the date range and subtracts the total number of errors in those dictations divided by the total number of words to come up with the average accuracy percentage.

Words in Accuracy

The total number of words included in the corrected text of the account holder's transcripts that were corrected during the selected date range. The accuracy score is based on the Words Transcribed. 

Minutes of Audio

The total number of minutes for dictation audio recorded by the account holder for the time period. The number of minutes are calculated as the sum all of the user's dictation audio (in seconds) within the specified time period divided by 60. The time for each audio is measured from the time the user presses the recording hotkey or button until it is released. 

Seconds of Audio per Dictation

(Minutes of audio total * 60) / Number of dictations total = Seconds of audio per dictation

The number in the Total row for this column is the average of the values in the column. 

Dictation Words Per Minute

words transcribed/minutes of audio = dictation words per minute

This is effective speaking rate. This is calculated as the number of words spoken divided by the total elapsed time between the user pressing the record hotkey or button and when a dictation transcript is returned to the user. The total elapsed time includes the total audio length and the time the server needed to process each request. Network latency is not included in this calculation.

The number in the Total row for this column is the average of the values in the column. 

Lines

The total number of lines transcribed from dictations by the account holder. The lines are calculated as the aggregate number of transcribed characters (based on Words Transcribed) divided by 65.
