Hands-free grossing. Standardized biopsy templates. 30+ minutes back per day.
The gross room is where the reporting workflow either flows or breaks. VoiceOver PRO® turns grossing into a fully hands-free workflow with wireless mics, foot pedal controls, and structured templates that capture specimens, cassettes, and gross descriptions in real time. Pathologists pick up the case with all the grossing context intact. No re-entry, no handoff errors.
What does VoiceOver PRO do for Pathologists' Assistants?
VoiceOver PRO is a pathology reporting platform that includes full hands-free workflow for the grossing bench. PAs use wireless microphones and optional foot-pedal navigation to dictate gross descriptions, specimen counts, and cassette inventories while their hands are on the specimen. The No Pause Biopsy feature generates standardized gross descriptions from key variables for routine biopsy cases. Structured data captured at the bench flows directly to the pathologist's reporting view, eliminating handoff errors and duplicate entry. PAs at customer labs save 30+ minutes per day; users cite cutting grossing time 40–50%.

- Structured data flows directly to the pathologist
- Voice commands replace clicks across the system
Where the day-to-day pain shows up.
Hands occupied: keyboard impossible
Grossing a specimen requires both hands. Stopping mid-dissection to type cassette counts or specimen descriptions slows everything down and risks contamination. Voice-driven workflow isn't a nice-to-have. It's a requirement.
Biopsy after biopsy after biopsy
Routine biopsies are repetitive. Dictating through a full template for each one, when the structure is essentially identical, burns time and cognitive effort. There should be a faster way for standard cases.
Handoff errors between bench and microscope
Cassette counts, specimen counts, lateralities, gross descriptions: when these get re-entered between the gross room and the pathologist's report, errors creep in. Addenda follow.
Speech tools that don't understand pathology
Generic medical speech engines work fine for ED documentation but stumble on pathology-specific vocabulary, specimen series, cassette nomenclature, and accession numbers. PAs need tools tuned to how the gross room actually talks.
Volume keeps climbing
Case volume is up across most labs, but PA headcount usually isn't. The path forward is workflow efficiency, and the gross room is the highest-leverage place to find it.
Training new PAs takes too long
Every new hire has to learn the templates, the system, and the workflow conventions. Tools that work the way PAs already think, without quirky shortcuts, cut training time.
Designed around the gross-room workflow.
Wireless mics and foot pedals: hands stay on the specimen
Wireless microphones plus optional foot-pedal navigation mean PAs never have to put down the specimen or step away from the bench. Dictate gross descriptions, specimen counts, and cassette inventories while you work.
No Pause Biopsy: standardized templates for routine cases
For routine biopsy cases, the No Pause Biopsy feature lets you dictate key variables only and the system generates the full gross description using a standard biopsy format. Saves time, reduces cognitive load, eliminates the dictating-through-the-template repetition.
Structured data flows to the pathologist
Specimen counts, cassette inventories, lateralities, gross descriptions: all captured as structured data at the bench and surfaced directly in the pathologist's reporting view. No re-entry, no handoff errors, no addenda from data drift between bench and microscope.
Voice commands replace clicks across the system
Navigate the AP system, advance through templates, access ancillary data, and complete required fields: all via voice. Click overhead is one of the biggest hidden time-sinks; voice navigation removes it.
Pathology-tuned recognition
99%+ accuracy on pathology vocabulary including specimen series, cassette nomenclature, accession formats, and the subspecialty terminology PAs actually use. Voice profile adapts to your voice and the typical lab background noise.
Documented time savings
Customer outcomes: 40–50% reduction in grossing time (Jennifer Hudson, PA), 30+ minutes per day saved (Endeavor Health), and faster overall case turnaround. Measurable at the bench level.
“When we got PRO, it made it possible for me to get everything done within my normal 8-hour workday. Before PRO, it was just rough working overtime consistently.”
Pathology teams that grossed faster after PRO.
From single-facility labs to large academic networks, PA teams cite hands-free grossing and structured handoff to pathologists as the workflow improvements they feel daily.

Different stakeholders, different lenses.
Pathology buying decisions involve a full committee. Each role cares about different things — here are the other lenses on VoiceOver PRO.
Health System Leadership
Pathologist supply isn't catching up to volume, and you can't hire your way out. VoiceOver PRO® sits on top of the speech engine and AP system you already run, so pathology reporting gets faster where throughput is the constraint and more consistent where the report has to be right, without re-platforming. What that's worth depends on the setting: recovered capacity for a health system, teaching- and research-grade consistency for an academic center, automated CAP synoptic compliance for a cancer center, and throughput economics for an independent lab.
IT Leadership
VoiceOver PRO® doesn't replace the speech engine your team standardized on. It doesn't replace your LIS. It sits above them, adding the pathology workflow layer pathologists need, without changing the platform stack underneath.
Pathology Leadership
Reporting overhead is where the recoverable capacity lives, not dictation, the rest of it. Structured-data corrections. System navigation. CAP checklist completion. Report rework. VoiceOver PRO® compresses report creation into the act of reporting itself, recovering 1–2 hours per pathologist per day at a moment when you can't hire your way out.
Lab & Pathology Managers
You're judged on turnaround and throughput while the bench keeps getting harder to staff. VoiceOver PRO® gives every pathologist 1–2 hours of their day back by cutting the reporting and transcription overhead that clogs the workflow, so the same team moves more cases with fewer complaints landing on your desk.
Pathologists
Speech recognition gets words on the screen. That's where most tools stop. VoiceOver PRO® is the pathology-specific reporting layer that compresses everything you do after dictation (structured data correction, system navigation, CAP checklist completion, report rework) into the act of reporting itself. The result: 1–2 hours back per day, signed-out reports going to treating physicians faster, and you home for dinner.
See the hours come back.

Why this matters: every report that signs out faster is a patient getting their result sooner.
