Peter Durlach SVP of Healthcare Strategy at Nuance - Voicebot Podcast Ep 159

Peter Durlach started out in Audiology technology in the 1980s
and then quickly transitioned to speech technology in 1988 at
Articulate Systems which was acquired by Lernout and Hauspie in
1999. He then moved on to lead Unveil Technologies, a pioneer in
the contact center segment. Eventually, Durlach wound up at
Nuance twice with a brief interlude at the hospital system
UPMC. 


 


Today, Durlach leads Nuance's $1 billion healthcare business
which includes solutions used by over 85% of radiologists and 65%
of physicians that incorporate speech recognition, dictation, and
custom assistants into their daily practice activities. In our
conversation, we discuss Pete's three decades in the speech and
voice technology, building custom assistants, and where voice is
and will be making a big difference in healthcare.
