Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Speech recognition software for the personal or office computer is a relatively new area of technology. As the number of these products has increased so has use of this software. Some individuals will employ speech recognition systems due to difficulty with the conventional keyboard and mouse interface: others will use it for perceived efficiency or simply novelty. Regardless of the reason for use of this technology, the voice demands associated with extended or frequent use can be high, placing the user at risk for vocal difficulties. This paper reviews the case of an individual referred to our multidisciplinary voice care program for evaluation and treatment of vocal difficulties that began secondary to utilization of speech recognition software. We discuss medical and vocal histories, examination findings, treatment, and treatment outcomes.
