Dynamic Website

Dynamic websites contain Web pages that are generated in realtime. These pages include Web scripting code, such as PHP or ASP.
When a dynamic page is accessed, the code within the page
is parsed on the Web server and the resulting HTML is sent to the
client's Web browser.
Most large websites are dynamic, since they are easier to maintain
than static websites. This is because static pages each contain
unique content, meaning they must be manually opened, edited,
and published whenever a change is made. Dynamic pages, on the
other hand, access information from a database. Therefore, to alter
the content of a dynamic page, the webmaster may only need to
update a database record. This is especially helpful for large sites
that contain hundreds or thousands of pages. It also makes it
possible for multiple users to update the content of a website
without editing the layout of the pages.
Dynamic websites that access information from a database are also
called database-driven websites.

Speech Recognition Allows for Better Patient Care Nuance

Speech recognition is the ability of a machine or program to identify words and

phrases in spoken language and convert them to a machine-readable format.
Rudimentary speech recognition software has a limited vocabulary of words
and phrases and may only identify these if they are spoken very clearly. More
sophisticated software has the ability to accept natural speech. Speech
recognition applications include call routing, speech-to-text, voice dialing
and voice search.

The terms "speech recognition" and "voice recognition" are sometimes used
interchangeably. However, the two terms mean different things. Speech
recognition is used to identify words in spoken language. Voice recognition is
a biometric technology used to identify a particular individual's voice.

For use with computers, analog audio must be converted into digital signals.
This requires analog-to-digital conversion. For a computer to decipher the
signal, it must have a digital database, or vocabulary, of words or syllables,
and a speedy means of comparing this data with signals. The speech patterns
are stored on the hard drive and loaded into memory when the program is run.
A comparator checks these stored patterns against the output of the A/D
converter.
In practice, the size of a voice-recognition program's effective vocabulary is
directly related to the random access memory capacity of the computer in
which it is installed. A voice-recognition program runs many times faster if the
entire vocabulary can be loaded into RAM, as compared with searching the
hard drive for some of the matches. Processing speed is critical as well,
because it affects how fast the computer can search the RAM for matches.
All voice-recognition systems or programs make errors. Screaming children,
barking dogs, and loud external conversations can produce false input. Much
of this can be avoided only by using the system in a quiet room. There is also
a problem with words that sound alike but are spelled differently and have
different meanings -- for example, "hear" and "here." This problem might
someday be largely overcome using stored contextual information. However,
this will require more RAM and faster processors than are currently available
in personal computers.

Speech Recognition

Speech recognition is the capability of an electronic device to

understand spoken words. A microphone records a person's voice
and the hardware converts the signal fromanalog sound waves
to digital audio. The audio data is then processed by software, which
interprets the sound as individual words.
A common type of speech recognition is "speech-to-text" or
"dictation" software, such as Dragon Naturally Speaking, which
outputs text as you speak. While you can buy speech recognition
programs, modern versions of the Macintosh and Windowsoperating
systems include a built-in dictation feature. This capability allows
you to record text as well as perform basic system commands.

clicking "Enable dictation everywhere." In OS X, you can enable
dictation in the "Dictation & Speech" system preference pane.
Simply check the "On" button next to Dictation to turn on the
speech-to-text capability. To start dictating in a supported program,
select Edit Start Dictation. You can also view and edit spoken
commands in OS X by opening the "Accessibility" system preference
pane and selecting "Speakable Items."
Another type of speech recognition is interactive speech, which is
common on mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets.
Both iOS and Android devices allow you to speak to your phone and
receive a verbal response. The iOS version is called "Siri," and
serves as a personal assistant. You can ask Siri to save a reminder
on your phone, tell you the weather forecast, give you directions, or

answer many other questions. This type of speech recognition is

considered a natural user interface (or NUI), since it responds
naturally to your spoken input.
While many speech recognition systems only support English, some
speech recognition software supports multiple languages. This
