Abstract—This paper describes a development of an input support system for medical records using voice memos recorded by a mobile device. The goal of this research is to increase the efficiency of creating medical records. The proposed prototype system enables medical staff to record treatment memos using a mobile device soon after completing patient treatment and to edit a voice memo transcribed by an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system. This system also has ASR error correction technology and a user friendly interface for editing. We evaluated the prototype system by assessing the voice quality recorded by a mobile device using an ASR performance measure, measuring the time required to perform editing, and administering a questionnaire to provide subjective assessments. The experimental results showed that the proposed system was useful and that it may result in more efficient creation of medical records.
