Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A system and method of automatically assembling voice information and image information into reports or data bases is disclosed. The system uses a microphone connected to a computer for converting spoken words into text and then parses the text to distinguish commands for execution from text information for the report. Commands for image acquisition cause digital images to be inserted within the report or within a database file. Images are associated with text information or with specific locations within the text information. In dependence upon the commands and the associations a report is, automatically generated form pre-recorded information.

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 19, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended January 19, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 19, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
