nVoq Brings SayIt to Canada

nVoq, a provider of cloud-based speech recognition and workflow productivity tools, has made its SayIt solutions platform available in Canada.

As a true cloud solution, SayIt has been gaining market share in the United States since 2011 within the healthcare and customer care industries. SayIt will now be hosted in Microsoft Azure's Canada Central data center in Ontario.

"For some time, we've been interested in expanding our channel sales partner network in Canada," said Debbi Gillotti, vice president and general manager of nVoq's Healthcare business unit, in a statement. "With Microsoft Azure, we feel confident we can offer our reseller partners, and ultimately their customers, a reliable, economical, and effective alternative to other speech recognition products."

"We're excited to have nVoq's SayIt as part of our Healthcare solutions portfolio in Canada," said Peter Jones, healthcare industry lead for Microsoft Canada, in a statement. "The nVoq team is very committed to growing their business through channel partners, and we look forward to supporting their efforts."

SayIt provides clinicians and their staff with speaker-independent, cloud-based support of dictation, voice-automated command and control, and voiceless shortcuts that help make clinical workflow easier, all without a long-term contract. No desktop software installation is required. Additional benefits include a wireless-microphone option for the iPhone and a centralized Administrative Console.

"We believe the value delivered in the SayIt cloud-based platform is second to none," Gillotti said. "Combined with the power and performance of the Microsoft Azure hosting environment, we can truly make a difference in provider efficiency, and ultimately, the patient experience."
