The focus is more on the "cover my ass" side of things rather than
actually using software to help perform procedures.  There are all kinds
of information that has to be documented and charted during/after a
procedure is performed and many doctors are looking to improve
productivity and profitability so they look to software.

You are right on with the reliability though... I personally am not
comfortable with a 95% reliable surgeon hehe.

Subject: Re: [IxDA Discuss] Why isn't voice-based UI mainstream?

And if we're talking about introducing introducing slightly-unreliable  
functionality into a risk-sensitive, cognitive-load-sensitive process,  
I have to ask what *actual* improvements in surgical practice (other  
than reducing the cost of staffing an operating room) would come from  
voice command systems?
