BACKGROUND: Economic factors dominate more and more the healthcare systems; modern technologies advance every day and offer opportunities for savings. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In a pilot study, digital speech recognition based on Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Version 7 was compared with common dictation in dermatology. RESULTS: The conventional method took 24.1 minutes per page and reports could be sent out after 16.8 days; in sharp contrast, the reports dictated by digital speech recognition took 15.8 minutes per page and were sent out after 3.2 days. CONCLUSION: Digital Speech recognition in dermatology has advantages compared to ordinary dictation, if the dictating person is trained with the software and it is implemented in a digital patient documentation system.
